Guest Reviews

• Nicolas (10/5): -
• Ghimire (10/5): -
• Dovydas (10/5): - Lounge area in front of room. Smoking and chatting in front of room glass door.
• Leonie (6/5): - Schönes, kleines Privatzimmer :) saubere Gemeinschaftsbäder & nette dachterasse Die Küche war außer früh morgens ziemlich dreckig. Insbesondere abends hatte man gar keine Lust was leckeres zu kochen, vor allem weil die Leute, die da arbeiten die Küche einnehmen. Und alle Zimmer sind ganz schön hellhörig.
• Parra (8/5): -
• Brodie (7/5): Excellent place. - Room was clean and comfy. I felt it was a slightly difficult place to find from walking, off to the side and within another business on the ground floor. The workers were very friendly and chill, someone greeted me straight away and we had a little difficulty at sign out but everyone worked really hard to help out. Questions were answered well, and the place felt comfortable and safe. One of the workers greeted me half naked? He was super chill and it wasn't really a problem, but I felt that was a bit odd. Otherwise I don't have any complaints, good people and good place.
• Juan (10/5): Great - Good hostel with great people working on it! Good place to rest and good rooms. Victor in the reception helps me a lot in my first days in Australia. Good place to start.
• Danielle (7/5): -
• Luca (10/5): - The staff is super nice Highly suggested
• Marika (7/5): The room is really spacious and big with lockers (if you want to put there your stuff you need your padlock) and the bat - The room and the bathrooms. The kitchen
• isabelataver (7/5): -
• Cristiana Techeres (7/5): Kinda loud but ok for a short stay on a budget - It's in a good location, the bathrooms are clean, and you can meet lots of people if you're into that. I wouldn't stay more than 1-2 nights. Given the price and the fact that it's loud until 1-2 AM (because it's a hostel and soundproofing is non-existent), you can spend 10-20 more dollars and stay at a hotel. That's what I wish I had done. Lesson learned.

• Michael The Traveller (1/5): Unfortunately not for me - The location was great. Unfortunately I found the manager very disrespectful and rude I did not want to stay there any longer he kills the Vibe call him the Vibe killer.

• Angel (10/5): - Frankly, I am more than satisfied with my stay at Mad Monkey Melbourne 😍 The place is really amazing: clean, warm, with a great atmosphere. You feel good there from the first moment. The manager is just exceptional, a true love. Always available to help, super helpful, no matter the request. It's rare to come across someone so involved and human 🙌 And what about the people there... everyone is adorable! A super friendly atmosphere where you quickly feel at home. Honestly, I recommend 1000%, it's clearly one of the best hostels I've stayed in.

• 圃鈞 (9/5): Satisfy - good vibe, love staffs there full of positive vibe. Almost every day has free meal or event. I love they have two public areas, very comfy. Lots of gratitudes towards Erme, Martyr, Yuki and Mol! the shower room sometimes will get flooded, but that’s okay

• Ederson (4/5): -
• Nils (7/5): Ein gutes Hostel - Lage ist gut, Personal sehr freundlich Bad könnte sauberer sein, aber aufgrund der Vielzahl an Nutzern bleibt es wohl nicht aus. Nervige Check outs im gleichen Raum, die einem den Schlaf rauben und zudem Party Heimkehrer, die Rücksicht nicht kennen

• Erin (7/5): I would come back, hopefully check in doesn’t take as long next time - The beds were comfy, the showers had good pressure and hot water and the whole place was really clean Checking in took way too long, there was a group of 4, then a single person then us and we waited standing on the stairs for close to 40minutes, not sure if it was just a rush on that weekend or the person on reception wasn’t sure what she was doing
• Anderson (4/5): - Very dusty. The few people in the room that I was in were all sneezing.
• Tamara (10/5): Very easy and nice place to stay at, especially if it’s just for one night beds are comfortable and the atmosphere is ve - I like that it was close and affordable to the area where I needed to be. Nothing it was awesome.
• Girolametto (10/5): - Posto comodo vicino al centro. Personale cordiale e simpatico. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo

• Glasper (10/5): -
• Rena Ga (7/5): - The best kitchen, location , the managemer is very nice and helpful. I didn't like is the floor , it creaks with every step. I also didnt like the fact thats the workers took over the tv room and slept their , I told the manager and he sort it out then we could rest there too.
• David (10/5): Una gran opción si quieres alojarte barato y no te importa compartir espacios. - Algunas de las personas que me encontré allí y las comidas/cenas/ guateques para todos que hacían. La ubicación es muy buena, con un supermercado a escasos minutos y varias zonas como cafeterías, restaurantes, etc. Me hubiera gustado que al entrar los trabajadores me hubieran explicado todos los servicios existentes en el hostel. Lavandería, sala de televisión, etc y que no tuvieran un grupo tan cerrado entre ellos.
• Claire (5/5): Mieux ailleurs - Hostel propre Pas de clim sous 36 degrés, une simple ventilation au plafond qui brasse de l’air chaud. Chambre très petite pour 8 personnes et douche des filles qui s’évacue très mal Réceptionniste du matin impolie

• Paula (7/5): -
• Max (1/5): -
• Geoffrey (10/5): Love the stay people are friendly. - Did not have breakfast, but the room was clean and so was the showers and friendly hosts. Did not agree with having a passport. Should except a licence. Should have a lift for people with disabilities like myself. To many steps.
• Frido (10/5): -
• Nada (7/5): - The accomodayion is good. Stuff is great. The bathroom is clean kitchen is very nice. I didnt have aircondition in room only fan. The night was hot and i couldnt sleep much.
• Nadine (2/5): Sehr enttäuschend - Das Personal war sehr freundlich! Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer für über 100 Euro pro Nacht, das sehr enttäuschend war: 1. Sehr laut, da das Fenster über einer Lüftung und damit de facto nicht zu öffnen war. Ein Alternativzimmer, das mir angeboten wurde, hatte gar kein Fenster. 2. Sehr klein: Ich musste mein Bordcase auf dem Bett öffnen und folglich immer wieder schliessen / wegstellen 3. Nicht sauber: Ich habe auf der Bettwäsche Haare meiner Vorgänger gefunden. 4. Sehr hellhörig und bis spät sehr laut. 5. Lage: Das Hostel lag ausserhalb des Stadtzentrums und war nur mit einem Bus erreichbar. Da die Gegend abends unbelebt war, bin ich bei Dunkelheit sicherheitshalber immer per Uber zurück gefahren. Die vielen guten Bewertungen sind mir ein Rätsel.

• Inka (9/5): Es war ein sehr angenehmer und geselliger Aufenthalt - Durch die Lager im CBD konnte man alle Ziele in der Stadt sehr schnell erreichen. Die Badezimmer waren sehr sauber und das Personal extrem zuvorkommend. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet und man hat einen wirklich schönen Blick von der Dachterasse. Die Betten waren etwas kurz. Man gewöhnt sich jedoch daran. Kein großer Minus Punkt.
• Wenjing (10/5): -
• Tzu-yu (9/5): -
• Maëllie (10/5): J’ai adoré ! - Auberge très familiale et chaleureuse, des activités prévues quasiment tous les soirs, c’est un vrai plus. Un balcon également très agréable. Et tout était propre et ça c’est vraiment bien!!! En bref, la meilleure auberge que j’ai faite ! Les lits qui grincent mais bon c’est un détail.
• Michael (6/5): Does the job - Great place if you’re a young French backpacker and willing to make friends in this category. A hostel the way they used to be, with an actual kitchen and communal sense of sharing Very nice staff. Great place if you’re a young French backpacker and willing to make friends in this category… otherwise not. No personal space and quietude. Too pricey for the minimum and basic space provided, but it’s high season so…
• Sofia (10/5): -
• Francesco (10/5): Best hostel in Melbourne - Fantastic hostel, highly recommended either for a short or long stay. The environment is easygoing, it makes you feel part of a family very soon. Staff work hard to keep the spaces clean and foster a friendly atmosphere, especially on communal night events. The location is great, very close to the CBD and with many facilities/shops/public transport stops nearby.
• HaoJian (10/5): Excellent. - Location is perfect, near city, and all the facilities in this hostel is clean and neat, roommates are friendly and quiet in the room. way better than I expected, definitely worth the visit! Everything is perfect.
• Grégory (10/5): - Night events The stairs
• Gabriele (10/5): -
• Tim (10/5): -
• Elliot (10/5): I felt welcome and comfortable, with friendly people all round! - The location is great, with all the central areas of Melbourne easily commutable. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the rooms are clean and tidy. The communal spaces are well stocked and looked after. The TV room in particular with all its pillows and a PS5 was super cosy!
• Leni (10/5): Great! Would do it again!! - All the facilities were very clean, the staff was really nice and the rooms were good as well!! -
• Yu (10/5): -
• Emma (10/5): Friendly, homely hostel. Definitely recommended. - Great location right next to the free tram zone, good amount of facilities and simple extra bits that made it better (shoe racks in corridors to avoid lots of shoes in the room, extra shelves in bathroom, lots of fridge and food storage space). Very friendly and inclusive hostel with lots of nice things happening (movie night, pasta night, plus a hostel group chat), but social areas kept to set hours and dorms still quiet, which was ideal. Lovely staff, with Marta, Yuki and Emre notably friendly and proactive around the hostel while I was there. Thanks for a fab stay folks. Nothing worth noting.
• Micah (10/5): -
• Jardar (10/5): - Nice personell
• Sefton (10/5): -
• Chris (5/5): Won't stay there again. - Clean and close to Marvel Stadium The pic of the room had 1 queen size bed. The room we got had bunks. Not impressed.
• Brendan (10/5): -
• Verheugd (8/5): Friendly welcome in Melbourne - I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere a lot. All the employees were really nice and also hung out with the people staying there. The facilities were really clean as well. There wasn't much to dislike. Some pots and pans seemed a little older but that's to be expected with a lot of hikers using them if not all know how to cook. It's also about what you're looking for. It's a great location next to the city centre but if you would like to go more to the beaches and nature that will be a little longer to get to.
• Nicholas (10/5): - The atmosphere at Mad Monkey is awesome. I loved the nightly events that the staff puts on as it's such a great way to meet new people. It's definitely the cleanest hostel I've stayed at. Seems like there's always someone tidying up. The quiet hours after 11pm were great and was able to get some good sleep before heading out for adventures the next day. Will definitely be back and can't recommend it enough. Special shout-out to Nick, Emre, and Megan for helping suggest some good food spots around Melbourne!
• Nathan (8/5): -
• Alexis (10/5): -
• Kate (5/5): - The beds and lights / charging station next to it The lack of toilets and showers. Small common room. Hall ways seemed dirty and not a welcoming kind of look
• Eleanor (8/5): -
• Glasper (10/5): -
• Adam (9/5): Peaceful and good for my recovery - Very good sleeping areas with chargers and night lights The closed kitchens at night
• Lucas (9/5): Une auberge familiale - L'emplacement est idéal. Le personnel est très avenant et agréable, ambiance familiale. Beaucoup d'activités proposées gratuitement. Trop peu d'espace pour se poser confortablement.
