Mad Monkey Phuket

I booked a private room to meet other solo travelers that didn’t go well. If this is the objective perhaps a shared room would be better. However, the hostel does go out of its way to arrange inclusive activities for everyone. It’s really well set up with a restaurant/bar, pool hall, swimming pool and gym. The location is also bang on. It’s in the heart of Patong with a 5 minute walk to Patong beach. There are a variety of restaurants in the area. It’s definitely easy to navigate from this hostel.

Great hostel! Friendly staff, great vibes, awesome place to meet people. Close to the beach and close to some night life. 10/10 would go again

The room is okay, not super loud

We stayed in a 6 person female dorm. What we didn't know, was that we book during a Festival Weekend with big lineups - so keep that in mind. 💚Pros: + Super friendly and competent staff, very good English as well + Private lockers in the room (you'll need your OWN lock tho), plenty of storage space + Curtains on each bunk bed, gives you a feeling of privacy + close to the beach and plenty of good Cafés, 7elevens, restaurants and lots of other stores and shops + Staff doesn't come in daily to clean, but does come if you ask + Has a pool, balcony on each room and a bathroom in each dorm room + They have a restaurant on the ground floor, which has pretty good breakfast 💔CONS - we didn't inform ourselves enough, so we were quite surprised to find out that it was a party hostel - there is a spacious bar on the ground floor, which is pretty busy until like 12 at night. Quiet hours are from 12 to 7 tho, so the only noise you'll hear are people wandering around. The soundproofing is pretty decent tho and you'll do well with good earplugs. - the water is absolutely cold and the water pressure is extremely weak, so be prepared. 💗 We were pretty satisfied with our stay, but this Hostel is definitely recommended for people who either love clubbing or travel solo - since it's pretty easy to meet new people in this Hostel.
