Great location, clean and sociable.
Great location. The bathrooms, kitchen, and dorms were clean the whole time the staff are very on top of keeping everything presentable. It has a large outside social area which is good to chill in. Its stocked with video games and board games which is a nice touch. The free breakfast is also nice.
Nothing bad I can complain about.

Great location, everything else good enough
Perfect location, bathrooms were clean, no issues with room/AC, was able to store luggage through next day (but in locked general storage room that had all bags out)
Limited lighting throughout, thin walls, skinny corridors

Fantastic hostel that ticks all the boxes for a great stay.
Firstly checking in was an absolute dream and the staff made sure to help me through the process and ensure i knew everything about the hostel. The place was always exceptionally clean, especially the bathrooms and kitchen. The location is amazing and everything you would want is directly on your doorstep, especially the lagoon! There was a good social vibe in the hostel, frequently chatting to and meeting new people from all over the world. Although very social, the hostel remained quiet after common areas closed which was valuable to me as i was working while staying here and definitely appreciated the good nights sleep! All the staff where friendly and helpful.
There was not a single thing i did not like about my stay.

Amazing hostel with great location, people and staff!
Mad monkey Waterfront was a super friendly hostel I met some great people here and the staff were very helpful. They have someone on call all the time, the night manager was also about until the early morning. The location was good and would recommend staying here to any backpackers as its close to bars and restaurants and a woolies.
Not much to say I have no complaints on this hostel. Its nice and quiet so if you are looking for a party hostel its not that.
