About

Some cities make you think. Phnom Penh makes you feel. One minute you're exploring grand palaces, bustling markets, and stories that shaped a nation, the next you're sipping sunset beers by the river before the city shifts into full nightlife mode. It's a place of contrasts, and there's no better way to experience it than with a crew that's just as keen to dive into it all.

Join us at the bar for The Meet Up every night at 7pm, with 50% off beers and plenty of new faces. Come alone, leave together. Whether you're taking on Beer Olympics every Wednesday, hitting one of our Monday or Thursday Pub Crawls, or recovering at our legendary Saturday Pool Party & BBQ before the Neon After Party, there's always something pulling everyone together. As Phnom Penh's dedicated party hostel, our packed events calendar, social atmosphere, and Guest Experience team make us the go-to spot for travellers looking to experience the city's best nights with new mates.

When it's time to explore beyond the bar, we've got Cambodia's capital covered. Visit the powerful S21 Prison & Killing Fields, jump on a bike and boat adventure, or let our team point you towards Phnom Penh's hidden gems and local favourites. Book everything through our travel desk and leave the planning to us.

Step outside and you'll find yourself surrounded by the cafés, restaurants, bars, and boutiques of BKK1, with the Royal Palace, National Museum, Independence Monument, and Riverside all within easy reach. After a day exploring and a night well spent, head back to our air-conditioned dorms or private rooms, close the privacy curtains, and recharge before someone you met three hours ago convinces you to go out again. Remember if you book directly, you get additional free nights and loyalty perks.

Wow the staff are the best here! So friendly and fun. Went on the S21 tour with Sola, she was an amazing, knowledgeable guide and just a lovely delight in general. Also went on the 4pm tuktuk tour with Leak who is such a joy to be around. She even gave us henna designs. Nights are of course fun in mad monkey, there are activities on daily so meeting people is very easy, and winning free beer is the best. Will definitely stay here again!
