Rapport qualité / prix.
Tours organisés proposés.
Espace de coworking à disposition (3$/jour).
L’attitude de la personne à l’accueil, jamais été accueilli aussi mal en plus de 2 mois de périple.
Quand on est dans le dortoir nous n’avons pas de serviette, sauf contre dépôt de garantie ($) et 1$ pour la laver.
L’Happy Hour ne concerne que l’alcool et pas les soft (c’est limite je trouve, un geste pourrait être trouvé pour ceux qui ne veulent pas consommer bières et cocktails).
La musique est mise tôt le matin, faut s’y préparer.
J’ai vu les employés rentrer dans ma chambre sans frapper, sans prévenir (dont des hommes, alors que j’aurai pu être en train de me changer, la porte était fermée à clé de mon côté).

Small hostel in the sense that everyone was really friendly and easy to meet people but lots going on and good day trips
The bed didn’t feel secure to sleep in and moved a lot when turning over

Good location. It wasn't a ideal style of hotel for me as it was party focused, but a private room was good enough.
So, so, so noisy. There are posted quiet hours but I was woken up every night well after midnight by people coming and going. There is an elevator but it is blocked off so you will need to haul luggage up stairs. Didn't bother trying the pool as it was in the middle of party activities.

We had a private room in this hostel. It was comformtable and very clean. The staff of the hostel was very helpful and arranges various great tours.

Very sociable hostel so great for young or solo travellers. Lots going on such as pool parties, day trips, pub crawls etc.
Food was definitely overpriced for tiny portions. Problem is there isn’t many options for food nearby so they know they can charge that bit more which I didn’t like. Laundry was also waaaay overpriced and I got some of my clothes back stained/ripped. Save yourself some $$ and get your laundry washed next door for half the price. Pool was also dirty.

hostel clean, plein d’activités proposées, chouette staff et les plats proposés sont très bons !
j’avais mon lit juste à côté de la climatisation donc pas mal de bruit et de lumière mais c’était juste un mauvais emplacement le reste est nickel

The place is located close to famous spots. The hostel was clean. The staff did answer all queries.
I went there on Saturday and they had no trips planned. The curtains in the dorm don't cover the bed completely. Wondering why they even have these curtains if they can't be used to fully cover the bed. The place is good if you're white. Asian Solo travellers might find themselves a bit isolated. They take 5 USD deposit.

Clean and modern hostel. Staff very friendly and helpful with booking tours
I may have picked the wrong place for me but the partying was just too much. Intense every night drinking games. Fine if that's your thing but personally I don't want p**** up twenty somethings sneaking about like naughty teenagers into each others beds at night. Couldn't relax there in the evening after a day exploring.

Die Chill area um den Pool war sehr schön hergerichtet und genügend Platz.
Wer will, kann bei Trinkaktivitäten teilnehmen, welche vom Hostel aus angeboten werden.
Große Betten, schönes Bad und geräumige Zimmer.
Es wurde strengstens kontrolliert ob outside food and drinks mit rein gebracht werden. Dies war strengstens verboten. Die Preise für Getränke und Speisen im Hostel waren jedoch sehr teuer.

Tiene muy buena vibra
Es caro para ser Camboya y tenía demasiada fiesta hasta muy tarde. Mala elección mía, para gente de 20 hasta 30 está bien

I felt safe and comfortable here because there a so many other travellers in the common areas. Staff member, Phanna, was very helpful in assisting me to extend my stay… service with a smile!

Clean and nice place.
Need elevator. My room was at 4th floor and stairs was tiring.

Great Location, good tours, really nice if you just want to party
My room seemed rather old, noisy and had a funny smell. You could not only constantly hear people partying downstairs (which is fine) but also everytime a room nearby flushed the toilet or took a shower, it sounded like you stood in the middle of a waterfall. They take the “no outside food inside“ rule quite seriously, the security at the door constantly wanted to look through my bag. Meanwhile they sell the most expensive food I encountered during my stay in Cambodia. Staff with one exception at reception (who remembered our names even days after we checked in) was rather unhelpful and indifferent.

全体的に清潔感があり、スタッフも爽やかだった。
エレベーターがないので、上の方の階の宿泊は荷物が多いと大変だと思う。

Atmosphere was lively and social, met many people and made many friends. All the staff were lovely and communicated well, especially Soso who was a joy to be around and she guided some of the activities at night around the area!
Bathroom and showers facilities were a bit aged and the temperature of the water in the shower couldn't be changed, but no problems as it was a good temperature anyway.

The beds were big, but not really comfy. The bathroom and the room itself were big, too. So enough space for 6 female travelers.
The hostel is too big and just a party hostel. They are charging you for everything (it’s just a business and you are the customer, who has to pay for) - even for refilling your water!!! In other hostels you can refill your water for free, but they even charge you for this (can you imaging???). Further, the girl at the reception wasn’t taking care of me, when I was checking in. A colleague had to take over as she was not at all interested to work. When I had a question, she was just answering very short and rude. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm that the reception staff is extraordinary friendly and supportive. I spoke to other travelers and they confirmed the same attitude of this girl. It was not at all possible to talk to her. Furthermore, the music was very loud and the bass, too. So you had take ear plugs in to get to sleep.

Très bien, propre, bel espace commun.
Dortoir avec rideau
La musique beaucoup trop forte alors qu'il n'y avait quasiment personne au bar!!! Cela ne favorise pas les rencontres, au contraire: cela ne donne pas envie d'y rester...la musique s'arrête cependant autour de 23h.

A comida é muito boa, e a área de convivência é bem legal
No nosso quarto faltou energia 2x, mas a equipe prontamente ajeitou e não tivemos problemas com a acomodação. Só não dou um 10 porque teve essa questão pequena da queda de energia

the hostel is clean and the staff is nice and helpful.
this a party hostel, lots of noise which extends quiet time. the ladder to reach the top bed is not easy to climb and the hanger for the curtains was right above our heads which we found dangerous as we could easily bang our heads on it.

Nice lobby.
I spent two restless nights here.
First of all, the beds make a terrible clanking sound whenever you turn around and the curtains do not cover the whole length of the bed.
The first night the staff let a super drunk guy into my dorm. He started yelling in the shower and even so they left him there with us. He came out naked and wasn’t able to climb onto his top bunk and kept falling onto the locker. Then he started peeing on the floor in the room. I contacted the hostel through Booking as I didn’t want to get out of my bed and have to run into him. They said they would send someone but no one came. The next day I asked for a different room.
The next morning I was awaken in my new room by people having sex on the bottom bunk at 5am. I walked down to reception which should be 24/7 and no one was there. The next morning I checked out to go to a different hostel and at least got a refund for the additional 2 nights I was supposed to stay here.
I understand this is a party hostel but come on…this is totally unacceptable…

The hostel had a youthful and social atmosphere! The lobby had a large bar with a pool. Everything was super clean and the staff was great!
A lot of organized activities to participate in. I really liked the tour featuring S21 and the killing fields!
Breakfast was not included.

It’s a party hostel so definitely come for the vibes, make friends and daily activities that make planning your stay super easy. Private room was fine for a couple.
It’s super loud until midnight every night. Unfortunately bed wasn’t quite comfortable. Staff kept telling us area is unsafe which made us feel like we were in the wrong neighborhood and couldn’t walk around unbothered.

Everything is not enough, this hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever visited and amazing is not enough , the vibes is so lovely, staff so friendly , if I will go back to Cambodia is to enjoy at mad monkey.. highly recommended

The vibe is fun, the food is wonderful, the atmosphere is perfect. They even have an ATM outside their hostel!
The staff are so friendly and helpful. They give you a first drink ticket to use, just because you checked in.
The bed isn't comfortable, and it's squeaky. There's just one bathroom for a room of 8-10, so you have to go down downstairs if it's occupied. It's also quite far from the actual center and other attractions, yet closer to the airport than other hostels.
7.0
Beautiful hostel, really relaxed during the day with lots of areas to relax.
The city walking tour was really nice, getting to see parts of PP we may have missed but the local guide was really informative.
Free shots at the bar, free shots at the bar!
They tell you on arrival but in this part of Cambodia be carful with your phones, whilst there someone had their phone snatched outside of the hotel.
It is definitely a party hostel very big on drinking culture.
Be carful with drinks as I can handle my drinks, but one particular night after 5 cocktails I was really unwell, it tasted like they were made out of tequila and a lot at that it cut our night very short, stick with beer!
8.0
Nice and comfy rooms, clean sheets and not as loud as expected as it is a party hostel. Big lobby & friendly stuff. We had a nice stay there!
The pool could be cleaner. It'd be nice if there were showergel & shampoo in the showers.
