    Cheap option in Sydney”

    Mad Monkey offers the cheapest option in Sydney but it doesn't mean the quality isn't there. Plus for the name on the welcome board of the room!

    Value for money! ”

    The best thing about this hostel- definitely the staff! Joshua was very welcoming, which for me is so important as I am not as comfortable and at ease in a hostel. He was very helpful and found a solution with my concerns. Other great things about this hostel is the location and the price! I really like the location as it is close to a lot of restaurants/cafes, close to the station/bus stops and the grocery. It is also very cheap compared to other hostels. You really get value for your money!

    Discriminating and worst attitude ever ”

    Make sure you are younger than 35 when you book this place, because otherwise you are going to be discriminated verbally, lied to and never going to get Your money back even they not allow you to stay. I am tourism expert and been travelling for more than 20 years, this was the worst attitude towards me I experienced. I do understand that there are different policies and things can happen, but this is hospitality at its lowest. It was raining outside as I arrived to check in and Jennifer give me that feeling of not being welcommed that I would never forget. Not recommending anyone this place.
