My stay was okay and uneventful. My criticism is that as a backpackers they like to charge for drinks above the norm. A soft drink will set u back $1.75 when a short walk to the shop the same can is 60 cents. I found the beer cheaper almost everywhere else. The staff are friendly enough but I found them... More

This place is great but unfortunately after coming straight to this Mad Monkey from the MM in Siem Reap we were a little disappointed. Nice place with a good restaurant that serves great food. Bar was lively and plenty going on. Rooms weren't quite as amazing as we were expecting. A little dirty and beds were uncomfortable but we only... More

Pros: -Great place to meet other travelers. There's a bar/restaurant downstairs and a bar upstairs. One or the other always has a good number of people hanging out. There were a lot of other solo travelers while I was there which was nice. -Clean rooms. They were super basic but clean. And clean is all that matters to me. -There... More

Incredibly spacious dorms (double beds!) and affordable private rooms make this a fantastic place to stay. It's perhaps a bit out of the way from the touristy areas, located in more of a posh neighborhood - but there is never a shortage of very affordable tuk-tuks just outside. The staff are absolutely wonderful - rarely without a smile on their... More

I really enjoyed the 3 nights I've stayed here! Although there are probably cheaper places about, I found their prices both for the rooms and bar very reasonable! I stayed in the 20 bed dorm, which I was kind of scared of at first but it was all they had left when I booked. However the room was split up... More

Stayed here with a friend in the big dorm and it was great. Clean big beds. The staff is so friendly! And there is a nice bar where you can hangout untill 11 pm. After that you can go out in the centre. Special thanks to Rory, who took us out to the lovebar. We had a really great time... More

I've stayed in a few places whilest travelling SE Asia, Mad Monkey in Phnom Penh has been by far the best. For a city centre (a capital city may I add) you get definite value for your money. We loved staying at the Mad Monkey so much that we stayed twice at Phnom Penh and once in their Mad Monkey... More

I loved staying at mad monkey. The atmosphere is friendly, the rooms are clean and beds big. The bar upstairs is a very cool hangout and the music doesn't disturb if you want to go to bed earlier. The food was good and the staff very friendly. One of the best hostels that I went to in Asia.

Having stayed at the Mad Monkey in Siem Reap and loved it, me and my friends were keen to try out the one in Phnom Pehn. I preferred the lay-out of this hostel, you enter through the downstairs restaurant which is spacious, clean and modern and serves excellent food. There many dorms, quirky, brightly coloured paintings on the walls and... More
