Two things really stood out for me at Mad Monkey: the staff are super nice—then again, this is the Philippines, so I shouldn't be surprised 😁—and the facilities. I've travelled across Southeast Asia, and most hostels are average-to-poor in quality. The ethos at Mad Monkey clearly prioritizes guest comfort, which was a very pleasant surprise for me.

Just a couple of relatively minor things: I had a private room, and a small fridge would have been a nice addition. The Wi-Fi seemed spotty at times, but not terrible.

What I like about in Mad Monkey was the Location. It is close to some bars and restaurants. The place is great and money worth for a single traveller like me. I enjoyed my stay. Looking forward to book this place again.

I think they should provide a good breakfast meal for their guest. Like a cup of coffee added to the menu since it is a breakfast. It is incomplete without the coffee!!! As for their room, I suggest that they should provide at least a little hygiene kit. They only had towel provide. and they don't have pillow case. It will be really good if they had at least prepare it for their guest. I hope next time, they can provide a bit welcome kit for those who will stay in Mad Monkey

I liked the friendly staff that welcomed us in. They were quick with check-in and walked us to our rooms. They provided us with information about the area we were staying in and answers to any questions we had. They tried their best to create a party vibe. Free breakfast!

There is no lounge area only a rooftop bar and cafe downstairs. It would be nice if there were a lounge where you could repack or meet other travellers. Make sure to bring your lock for the locker!

Property is super nice! It’s the perfect location for someone who’s visiting for a couple nights and want to be close to the nightlife. Mind you, things would be slightly pricier than what you would be pay if you are a little outskirts. Otherwise, great location, lots of good bars, eateries around! People are super nice and helpful. 10/10 recommended!

Nothing that I could think off!

The employees are very polite and friendly, And yeah free bfast is thumbs 👍 👌 for me. The place is easy to find.

The bed,whenever I move the mattress plastic cover makes noise. And the positions of the bunk bed specially when you are in the upper area of the bunk bed you might always accidentally bump your head in the ceiling I'm not that tall what more if the guest is tall person .

Had the most wonderful stay here! Met amazing people from all around the world, and huge kudos to the staff for being so accommodating especially Jay & Ejay. Mad Monkey Manila Pub Crawl & Walking Tour is a must-do if you’re looking for a fun, social, and unforgettable experience!

The staff were soo friendly. We had some really fun nights out hosted by Jay and Tom. Would definitely be recommending it to friends.

It can be very noisy outside at night. Which is fine we kind of signed up for it. But worth thinking about if that's not your vibe.

Made a family away from home, words can’t describe how it felt being part of MM, it’s not just a hostel, it’s a cultural, a community, a safe haven.

Good location. Clean and comfortable amenities. The personal at the reception were super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thanks Angelica and Aira.

Could have some activities at the rooftop or so, to facilitate socialising.
