Just slow and awkward to check in
Posted Aug. 1, 2024 on HotelsFirst and foremost Mad Monkey Bangkok is a great hostel to meet people. For this stay however it was a short one night stay, from midnight until 7am. I arrived at 23:44 and two women were checking into a dorm in front. The entire process took some 16 minutes and I couldn’t fathom what was so slow; the guy kept doing other things.
He then proceeds to offer them welcome drinks (bar is shut) and queries leaving passports or 250THB for towels and 250THB each for keys as a deposit or a passport.
Anyhow I’m eventually served - and again the entire process takes an age. No welcome drink offered (he knew not if my early departure) and it’s again 1000 THB or a passport for deposit. I’m solo, so surely 500 THB. Between this he keeps checking emails, card receipts from printers etc and not actually serving me.
I get to the room, it’s clean and comfortable but the AC is very slow to work; cooking the room from 29 on arrival to only 25 by 3am. It’s on max.
I won’t stay here again, or at least in that room, but I’ll visit Mad Monkey for sure again.
Check out was comparatively a breeze.

Tours are fun. Very sociable spot, met a lot of other people. Great place to meet a group of buddies to go out drinking with or explore the city. Made a very memorable trip.

This Mad Monkey Hostel is AMAZING! If you’re looking for a sociable vibe, make sure you go here. I also tried other hostels in the area, but they didn’t compare to Mad Monkey!! Every night there are free shots, and on the Wednesday I stayed I also did the bar crawl which was so much fun. Even when I went down for breakfast everyone was very sociable - if you’re a solo traveller this place is great for you especially. It was also super clean (the cleaners were also so lovely and gave me recommendations), well air conditioned and the staff were very helpful. I also enjoyed the walking tour where I met so many new friends. And chilling by the pool is a must!!! The restaurant also has affordable and really tasty food. It is located in the best area a few mins walk from Khao San rd. I will be back!!! My favourite hostel ever.

Mediocre hostel with overpriced bar
Posted Jan. 24, 2023 on HotelsLocation is very good close to Khao San road and a small park, but it's far from the SkyTrain and Metro station.
The beds are ok but have no curtains which means less privacy.
Don't use their bar as it's overpriced. Their organized tours are also a rip off. They charge you 500 BHT for a silly pub crawl and only take you to two pubs where prices are double.

Great for solo travellers had welcoming drinks and games for new comers every night. Awesome staff and a plus for having a pool! Say hi to Jess and Bish when you get there!
