Mad Monkey Hostel Phnom Penh

This is the best hostel in terms of the staff, facilities, cleanliness & social functions. They make every attempt to include everyone, and I mean every attempt. Pool table, beer pong, social events every night, and don’t get me started on the inclusiveness of the staff. Angus - a lad? Nah his muscles aren’t big enough for a lad. Angus is a MAN. He will help you out with anything. He’s also a certified situation defuser. The notorious burger & chip thief at the hostel was making his attacks, night after night, and finally he was caught by a witness. That witness being me. Angus was the support I needed after a broken heart and unfulfilled stomach. Soso - what would the reception team do without her? Someone needs a raise. Faye - Faye was the stunning light in every manner of her personality that made this place a haven. Especially her honesty in telling me that if a review includes the name of a staff member, they get 1 good coupon. So guys make sure to include names in the reviews to feed the lovely team! Also apparently it only accounts on HostelWorld so this review will leave them hungry. Lin - she needs to stop playing pool every day because at some point she might beat me. Give it another few years.

I like the customer service from pre check communication to check in and check out. They communicate with English that is number 1 great factor since I dont speak their language.

AMAZING STAFF, Great organized events and alot of social opportunities. This is a very social party hostel, so if your looking for a chill hostel this isnt the place for you. But if you want to meet a lot of people and go to a place that organizes a bunch of tours this place is AMAZING. There is a travel desk where you can organize transport to other cities and other tours. Highly recommend the killing fields & S21 tour. Also there is a whole bar and restaurant in the lobby so this hostel really provides anything you can need as a traveler- tours, accomodation, pool, food&drink- you almost dont need to leave haha

The location is great, there is a nice open communal area down stairs, which is good for socialising or finding a spot for yourself. The staff are great, shout out to Tintin for his great help in booking onward buses. Yes it is a Mad Monkey so you do have many opportunities to party and drink but if you’re looking for a vibe in between full party mode and max chill, this is a good option.

Comfortable bed, each dom room has their own bathroom inside (not sharing with everyone from the same floor like usual). Good location, have nightly activities downstairs at the bar, also serve food and have a big swimming pool. Plus a working space that provides much needed privacy when you have to work.
