The laid-back heart of Mad Monkey Sydney - famous for its massive rooftop with sunbeds, BBQ nights, and home-away-from-home feel. Part of the Mad Monkey Backpackers Group, with properties across Sydney, Melbourne, and four locations in Cairns Not every great night is a big night. Some of the best ones are a BBQ on a rooftop with people who were strangers last week. 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. Close enough to walk to everything, far enough that the 3am noise stays where it belongs. The rooftop The crown jewel. Sunbeds for lazy afternoons and an open social dining space where the nightly events unfold - rooftop BBQs, pasta nights, sip & paint, wine and cheese, open-air cinema. Guests consistently call it one of the best hostel hangout spots in Sydney. They're not wrong. The home part Downstairs, the cosy TV room with a pool table and PS5 is where slow evenings happen - movie marathons, FIFA grudge matches, easy company. Bayswater is the property guests describe as a 'home away from home': long-stayers and new arrivals mixing into one extended family, with staff who keep the place spotless and the energy warm. And when you do feel like a big one? The weekend joint Mad Monkey parties at Downtown and East Side are minutes away. Big night out, calm base to come home to - best of both worlds. The location Two minutes' walk to train and bus stops with direct connections to the CBD and Sydney's beaches.
