My experience at Mad Monkey Kings Cross was simply amazing. From the moment I arrived, I loved the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere of the place. The staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to help with anything I needed. It’s clear that everyone is committed to ensuring guests have a memorable stay. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the common areas are perfect for meeting other travelers and sharing stories. Additionally, the location is excellent, with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and points of interest. Mad Monkey Kings Cross definitely exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and comfortable stay in Sydney. I will definitely be back!

Such a great hostel to stay at when your in Sydney. The people I met there were amazing including the staff - all very welcoming and helpful! The location is great as well being right next to the train station and a short walk to the cbd. The hostel was constantly being cleaned and the beds were really comfy also. Would absolutely recommend this hostel for anyone comimg to Sydney and wanting to make new friends!

There was renovations being done whilst i was there which meant the main areas of the hostel were a little messier than usual, but the improvements will be worth it and make this an even better place to stay!

i would say everything. i was anxious before i came ‘cause the rating was very low but: >friendly stuff >fair price >yes the kitchen is small but well equipped. everybody was nice, polite and friendly. the kitchen is clean enough as i expected. >toilet is clean. i can’t say the whole place but at least at my floor. >stairs. i’m good with it. the stuff helped me with one of my bag since i was carrying 40kg belongings. thanks. >noice. yes, along the street a little bit noisy but i’m good with my earplugs. >location. good, near the city walk 15 mins i lived in the top level and thought everything was good. it really depends who you met and where you live would give you different impression but i would say everything on me is good so far

nothing

I really liked the location (it was in the middle of an active neighborhood, lots of day and night life) and the cleanliness of the place. There were a few places to lay down and chill, and a vending machine (both great after a night out). The staff were nice, and most of the time you could find someone at the front desk.

Our room's shower didn't have a curtain or a door (which it obviously had at some point). It was open, so water got all over the place when you showered.

Rooms and bathroom were good and organized, all clean.

Kitchen were really disgusting, lots of trash and messy all the time, it was cleaned everyday by staff member but there was no rules, people were playing cards and drinking games all nights in the kitchen. I wasn’t able to eat or sit most of the time. There was no space on the freezer either.

Probably the best decision I ever made booking in this hostel for my first week in Sydney! it got the best people! the staff is so polite and they are always willing to help, always something going on in the kitchen or tv room so even if you travel alone like me there is no way y will ever feel alone! everyone was super nice plus y got the gym membership which is really great! I ended up extending my stay and was soooo sad leaving that place!

It could definitely be cleaner but y don’t expect really a lot from a hostel it was actually quite decent! Also if y carry a big bag better be prepared to climb some stairs (don’t worry though the people will help u)

it was very nice staying at this hostel. i just started traveling and didnt know what to expect from the hostel life, but mad monkey didn't dissapoint. The rooms were clean and the staff was very friendly and helpfull. I lost the keys of my locker and one of the girls from the staff helped me find them. they also organise a lot of fun events, where i met a lot of great people. during one of the night of my stay the ovens didnt work, that was a bit annoying, but they arranged free pizza and the next day new ovens arrived. so that was fine. overall a good experience.

The staff was very nice, the beds are ultra comfortable and the bathrooms get cleaned everyday, the public bathroom 3 times a day. Nice people in the hostel and a great location to have access to entire inner Sydney.

It’s missing a kinda living room, but you can hang out in the TVroom or the kitchen where you always have space for chats.

Great hostel, big heads up to Emma as soon as I arrived she made me feel like home, so welcoming and attentive. The staff that works there’s is absolutely wonderful, what a pleasure to stay with these guys.

Nothing everything was incredible

Overall, the hostel was very clean. The staff was really nice and the daily activities, like the pub crawling, made it easy to meet new people. The location is great, the kitchen well equipped, but they need more spoons!

I didn’t like that there was only one toilet in each floor so three in total. Two showers on each floor was fine. But you had to share toilets and showers with both genders. The toilet door had open spaces on the top and bottom so as a girl so not much privacy, especially uncomfortable when both genders share the bathroom. The showers were rainshowers with great water pressure. But through the mirroring of the floor you could kinda see the person who was using the other shower. Again, not nice when it’s a unisex bathroom. The kitchen didn’t have enough seating possibilities.
