“I'm not exaggerating- the BEST guest house ever!!”

The Mad Monkey.. Where do i begin?! I actually ended up spending 3 weeks at this guesthouse as work took me to Phnom Penh. Even by the end of the first week it felt like home - the staff care about their customers and each other as if they were their own family, and they treat the guest house as... More

“Not Bad At All!”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Staff are probably the most friendly bunch of people i have met on my trip, a really cool and swanky rooftop roof bar. The food is above average and the pub crawl that the hostel runs helps to pay poor kiddies school fees. I will be back - Stay here is you can. Ads

“Mad Monkey”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Clean, tidy and busy hostel. Great place to meet fellow travellers in the upstairs bar. However, travellers tend to eat in the in house restaurant and price of food is reflected by this and was overpriced. location was relatively central but need to get tuk tuks to most places including the riverside.

I enjoyed my time at Mad Monkey and made some great friends there. The staff was amazing and the beds were huge. The food was great though quite expensive. There were some cheap places with great food nearby. My only complaint would be the AC in the big dorm. It didn't work well enough for the space and everyone in... More

“5 stars this is not”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

Prior to arrival was very excited to stay at the Mad Monkey given the high reviews. At first glance the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the downstairs bar was clean, however the shine wears off as you go deeper. Our first room smelled like a public washroom (damp, moldy smell) and there was no external window (the only... More

Dear guests we have a suspicion that this is not a real review, as we have no record of the guests name or email, they are also posting multiple negative reviews not just on our property but on multiple properties in Cambodia and Vietnam, those properties also have no record of this guest. Apologies for this please disregard until we... More

“Best hostel around”

Amazing staff, theyre who make it at the mad monkey. Theyre all so friendly and make you feel part of the hostel straight away. The food is also amazing but slightly overpriced but i think that could just be Phnom Penh. They have travel services just like every other hostel and also have a team of nice tuk tuk drivers...

“A great place to stay in Phnom Penh...”

I could not have had a better experience here. Relaxing atmosphere, helpful staff and good food. Centrally located. Close to many coffee shops and restaurants while a step away from the noise of the riverfront. Tuk-tuks are abundant, S21 is walkable and the markets are just a short ride away.

They were able to bring the passport to the Mad Monkey in Siem Reap free of charge by the next afternoon.The staff was very helpful in finding and booking buses in and... More

As the first hostel I stayed at in SE Asia, Mad Monkey set an extremely high president... few places afterwards measured up to the same standards... friendly and helpful staff who could always answer your questions; good food; clean and spacious dorm rooms; good location; nice roof top bar; tuktuk drivers always to hand.
