Mad Monkey Broadway

I absolutely love this hostel! It is one of the best I've stayed in. For starters, the atmosphere was great. The staff were nice and helpful. I met a lot if friendly travelers and even visited a bar nearby with them. Cleanliness was a big reason I felt so comfortable there. The location was prime- very close to the CBD with public transportation. I'd recommend this hostel to anyone looking to stay in Sydney.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready with great local tips. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the common areas had a relaxed social vibe that made it easy to meet other travelers. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed and easy to get around.

I loved staying in this hostel! It is in a great location, with a shopping centre and park with a pool just a 2 minute walk away. Very close to many bus routes as well as walking distance to the CBD. Also, free gym access! It’s very clean, the showers were spacious and powerful. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and hosted free events every day!

Nice little hostel. Since it is not very big, it makes it easier to meet new people. There are events every day which makes it even easier and fun. The showers are always clean and the water pressure is perfect. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The location is great. Only 15 minutes walking from the cbd.

Despite of being a bit small, it's got good vibes. The staff is really friendly and helpful. They answered almost every question I had. When they didn't know the answer, they helped me doing some research. The hostel itself is well located. Only 15 minutes walking from the CBD and 15 minutes walking from Newtown too. Lots of cafes and restaurants around and a shopping centre with everything you may need nearby. The building doesn't have really big common areas, but I couldn't care less because there is a huge park across the street. If you are looking for new friends, the daily events are a good method too.

The cleanliness of the rooms, toilets and showers downstairs is disgusting. The sink plugs and all the toilet seats are broken, the floors splashed all over with water, and the rooms are smelly (no ventilation), dark without much (or any) natural lighting and overall just a bit gross. It feels crowded We checked in 2 separate occasions in the same week, arriving at 6pm the second time we had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come to reception (although they knew we were waiting). Also no wifi available when we stayed, and no mention either time of the free gym pass deal. The location is convenient, the kitchen area is fine. The upstairs rooms seem reserved for all the long termers.

Nice atmosphere, great social life with daily activity.|My 6 bed dorm room was a bit small but we made it work just fine, and it had lockers(just bring your own lock), a window and an ac which was super nice. |Kitchen was also pretty nice for a hostel. |Toilet and shower was pretty hostel like but also okay.|Would definitely recommend:))

The hostel is nice! The beds are clean and spacious, so you can sit up when you have the bottom bunk. There are plenty of common rooms, and also a movie room which is quite fun. The people are nice and sociable just note that most of the people are long term residents who also often work for the hostel. There are activities every day which are fun! The overal cleanliness is okay but there is some improving to do. I feel the the hostel is a little outdated so maybe that’s also something that could be improved upon.
