About
Rooftop sunsets, free food, and a city that never runs out of laneways. Mad Monkey Melbourne is built around its rooftop - city views, chill afternoons working on the tan, and daily events up top that make meeting people the easy part. It’s the social heart of the hostel, backed up by a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious TV room for movie nights and FIFA grudge matches when the weather turns Melbourne on you. Dorms are clean and comfortable, and every bed comes with its own locker, light, and power point - so you can charge up and actually sleep after a big day out. Fresh linen is always included, and the vibe stays social by day but settles down at night. And the free food nights are a bit of a legend - turn up, grab a plate, and you’ve met half the hostel before you’ve finished eating. Location-wise you’re sorted: a 12-minute walk from Southern Cross Station (where the SkyBus from the airport drops you), and right by Melbourne’s free tram zone - so the CBD, laneways, rooftop bars, and street art are all easy and free to reach. Close to the action without the late-night CBD chaos, with an Aldi across the road for the budget-conscious. Melbourne is one of the great stops on the Australian backpacker trail - and with Mad Monkey properties up in Sydney and four in Cairns, there’s a family bed waiting the whole way up the East Coast.
