About Mad Monkey Phuket
People come here to meet others. That's precisely what this place is all about, and it succeeds brilliantly. The ground floor is a proper pub, so much so that travelers staying elsewhere in Patong often drop by in the evenings and stay until closing time. Pub crawls and organized activities are a regular occurrence, and the staff consistently receive praise in reviews, which usually indicates that the reception staff does more than just check guests in.
Dormitories are the obvious choice for solo travelers on a budget and are consistently rated as clean and well-maintained by guests. However, private rooms are particularly appealing. Many describe them as being more like a proper hotel room than a last-minute hostel option. This makes them a good choice if you're looking for company without having to share a room with five strangers. Those who prefer peace and quiet, however, should look elsewhere. This hostel on Thanon Chaloemphrakiat in Patong is a party hostel, and noise is simply part of the experience.

I came to Phuket spontaneously and when I first walked into Mad Monkey, I thought it was a pub or bar 🙃. I quickly realized it was a hostel, though. For me, as a solo traveler (I was staying elsewhere), the bar was a really lively and cozy place to connect with all sorts of people from around the world. I met some lovely people there. I much preferred the atmosphere to the chaos of Bangla Road, so I spent a few evenings there, having drinks and chatting with others. Now I know where I'll stay if I come back to Phuket alone. A big thank you to the friendly staff and the management for the evening events! A very charming and interesting place to stay, and I must add: absolutely safe and in an excellent location. PS: To the hostel management: Thank you so much for allowing walk-ins at the bar. It was an unforgettable part of my Phuket stay 🤟🏽
My last stop on my Thailand trip was the Mad Monkey Phuket. It was the perfect ending. I had a private room, a really lovely hotel room. This allowed me to enjoy the luxury of a hotel while also experiencing the social atmosphere of a party hostel. Mila greeted me and showed me around. Over the next few days, I went on several pub crawls and had a fantastic time. I highly recommend the Mad Monkey Phuket.
I had a fantastic time at the Mad Monkey. Everyone there is so nice and you feel like you're part of a big family. Natasha at reception was incredibly helpful with booking a room and extremely friendly. Gary is a great representative. They truly made my stay unforgettable. The pub crawl and all the other activities were a blast.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
