Not usually a party person when travelling, but my oh my, staying at this place has unleashed my feral spirit (in a good way of course). They have amazing staff, fun events, free drinks and breakfast and cozy rooms! For the price I paid, it was definitely worth it after all the free beers I got.
Only downside (which is a bit of a bummer for me as a budget traveller) is that you’re not allowed to bring “outside” food into your room—no snacks, fruits, takeouts etc. since they have a restaurant and they would want u to buy their food rather than buy some outside. It ****** for a bit especially if ure starving at 3am and dont wanan go out, but i didn’t mind that much as there were lots of food stalls and restaurants right outside the place.
Highly recommend this place whether or not ure a party animal. Such a fun and affordable hostel!
Response from Property: HI there! Thank you so much for your kind review and for recognizing the hard work we put in. You were a great guest and we are looking forward to seeing you again. Lots of love from Mad Monkey.

Very good place to stay to meet other travelers. Location good also. lots of restaurants, bars and massage salon around. ATM at the hall so practical when knowing most of merchant only accept cash in vietnam, actually i've never seen that before in any other hostels i ve been. On the other hand, they keep straight your passport for granted without requesting in place of deposit for key. That i've never seen anywhere else as well. I did refuse and pay a little deposit instead. They should have given the choice to people at the first place. But aside this bad point, i still recommend this place without any hesitation
Response from Property: Hi Haja! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We have considered your comments and we have taken action to improve the Mad Monkey experience for future guests based on your feedback. You were a great guest and we are looking forward to seeing you again. Lots of love from Mad Monkey.

The hostel is very clean and the rooms are modern. However, the upper part of the bunk bed is not completely dark as soon as someone turns on the light in the room. (Recommendation, lower bed) In addition, the entire bed frame moves as soon as someone moves in the other bed, as the four beds are connected. The hotel staff is super friendly and helpful. They are happy to help with any questions, requests or suggestions. They are also happy to chat about local tips. There are activities every evening that you can take part in if you wish. (karaoke nights, pub crawls, beer pong tournaments and so on)
The in-house travel team is happy to organize excursions if required. Greatly located in the Old Quarter!

Absolute must if you enjoy partying and meeting new people. The Mad monkey team were great with organising the Ha Giang loop for me as well, they are in the process of refunding for one less stay on the loop too. Would definitely stay again.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Wow, thanks for the great review! We’re so glad to hear that you had a good time at Mad Monkey. Looking forward to seeing you again sooner than later. Much love from Mad Monkey!

It’s definitely a party hostel with a younger pool of people. It is also outside the city so you’d have to take a grab to the old town. The staff is very friendly though and they have been very responsive and accommodating when I told them that I wanted to switch rooms. I did like the Mad Monkey in Hanoi more.
Response from Property: Hiya, thank you for your lovely review. We take all feedback seriously, and your review is much appreciated. We hope you’ll be able to visit another one of our socially responsible hostels during your travels.

I had a great stay in this hostel. I arrived late night and there was a party going on at the 1st floor of the hostel. Everyone is welcoming.
The bar/club stops at 12MN which gives ample time for sleep.
It’s also clean and cozy.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great stay at our hostel. It's wonderful to know that you found our atmosphere welcoming and enjoyed the party vibes on the first floor. We strive to create a lively yet comfortable environment for all our guests, and it's fantastic to hear that you felt right at home.We understand the importance of a good night's sleep, which is why we ensure that our bar/club wraps up at midnight, allowing everyone ample time to recharge for the next day's adventures.Maintaining cleanliness and coziness is a top priority for us, so we're delighted that you found our facilities to your liking. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay in the future! Much love from Mad Monkey!

Thir hostel is located in the heart of the old quarter. It's very tidy and comfortable but that area is too noisy. It's suitable for those who wanna party every night. However, it you wanna get a good night sleep then I wouldn't recommend it.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, It was so fun hanging out with you - thanks for making Mad Monkey one of the stops on your adventure. Your review means a lot. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your travels!

Really good for the price and very convenient location. Despite there being many events going on at night at the hostel, the rooms are very quiet so you don’t have to worry about being disturbed.
Response from Property: Heyaa, we loved you! Come back soon! Thanks for your review; it’s so kind of you to say all that. Keep being awesome and have a fantastic trip around Asia! Cheers and come back soon!
