This is a very good hostel. Very good value for money with its weekly fee. The tv room is very large. There is a small patio outside. A big and comfy living room as well. The kitchen is large and newly renovated. There are activities everyday. Plenty of rooms with shower and toilet together, so you have space to wash yourself. It is never too busy/overcrowded with backpackers and the staff knows how to keep the guests quiet after a certain time. They work well and are helpful. The hostel is spacious and always clean. As with all mad monkey hostels in the neighbourhood, you can have access to the gym for free for 2h at a time. I liked that AC isn't used, but fans. That is a relief for the throat, unlike in many other hostels.

Many rooms face the street that is very busy. It is quite noisy at night, although it's alright. Many hostels are far worse.

Location was a very short 1-2 minute walk from a major underground train station, as well as multiple grocery stores. The people staying there were all very lovely and the vibe was excellent. Communal spaces were friendly and shared appropriately. Lockers were of decent size for luggage.

The bedrooms were extremely hot at night which is fine as long as you sleep without a blanket
