About
Not every great night is a big night. Bayswater gets that. Mad Monkey Bayswater is the laid-back heart of the Mad Monkey Sydney family - a beautiful townhouse one street back from the Kings Cross buzz, where the pace slows down and the connections go deeper. Close enough to everything, far enough from the 3am noise. The crown jewel is the massive rooftop: sunbeds for lazy afternoons and the open social dining space where the famous nightly events unfold - rooftop BBQs, pasta nights, sip & paint, wine and cheese, open-air cinema. Guests consistently call this rooftop one of the best hostel hangout spots in Sydney, and they’re not wrong. Downstairs, the cosy TV room with a pool table and PS5 is where slow evenings happen - movie nights, FIFA grudge matches, and the kind of easy hanging out that turns a hostel into a home. This is the property guests describe as a ‘home away from home’, where long-stayers and new arrivals mix into one extended family. Every morning starts with a free barista coffee at Happy Travels, and you’re a 2-minute walk from train and bus stops for the CBD and Sydney’s beaches. When you do feel like a big one, the weekend joint Mad Monkey parties at Downtown and East Side are minutes away - best of both worlds.
