Mad Monkey Phuket Reviews

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.

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.

Good place to stay

The room is okay, not super loud

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

Very cool place for solo travel,friends and even couples. You can make friends in the activities they have in the hostel and it has this very cool and relaxing area at the swimming pool. The shared rooms have their own bathroom which is really cool too. I would just complain about the elevator getting stuck more than once since I went there, they always fix it but if you are in 2nd floor just use the stairs haha

100% recommended

Love the vibe

I really enjoyed my stay 🔥🔥🔥

Good one

The bar is very noisy before 12 o'clock, the sound insulation of the room is poor, there is no hot water in the shower, the roommates come back late at night and make noise without caring about other people's feelings, and there are bugs in the room.

The hotel is new and generally clean. Great location, 7/11 store nearby, lots of good cafes, bars and massage parlors. 10 minutes walk to the sea. Air conditioning works great. Overall, the hotel is good, but keep in mind that the hotel positions itself as a youth hostel with a large flow of travelers from different countries, where there is a party every night. I chose this hotel specifically counting on parties and understood that it would be loud. But the party program is very weak, not interesting. Poor soundproofing. It is very difficult to fall asleep sober to very loud music, keep this in mind. It was loud not only from the music, but also from the neighbors. The room itself has another door to the next room, I hope it was locked, but you could hear the neighbors very loudly. If you stay at this hotel for 2 nights, then this is a very interesting experience, but nothing more. I spent 10 nights at this hotel and regretted that I booked for so many nights. Next time I'll choose a regular hotel, and I'll go to parties in other bars, of which there are many nearby, which I advise you all to do. By the way, in 10 nights the room was cleaned only twice, which was also disappointing.

Maybe there are too many tourists in Phuket. The overall service at the front desk has become mechanized. They have no expression on their faces and there is no unnecessary communication. Everything else is good.

The location is great. It's very close to the seaside. It's very convenient to buy food and drinks. It's beautiful and has welcome drinks. I had a cup of blue. I don't know what it's called.
