I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The place was immaculate, with attention to detail in every corner. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always eager to assist with any request. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the privacy curtain made a world of difference, offering a cozy and secluded feel that you don’t often find in hostels. The combination of comfort, cleanliness, and outstanding service makes this hostel a top-notch choice. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to any traveler!

Expensive hostel, priced like a hotel.For the same money there are better options available elsewhere in the city with a private room, kingsize bed, free parking, private bathroom, private kitchen, etc.The only reason we stayed was because of the location (we had a very tight schedule during our stay in the city).Overall it was okay, as far as hostels go the build quality was above par.

Very nice and new hostel, very centrally located in the center. Everything neatly clean. We had the double room at the back. This may mean that there is a lot of noise from the catering industry around it during the weekend, but that is the result of the location. Top Hostel.

I'll start this off short for the quick readers: two words — INCREDIBLY AWESOME.Pros:Cozy, sturdy, high-quality bedsEverything is clean, fresh, and new: from the bathrooms, rooms, hallways, to the reception—everything. Friendly and international staff that really make you feel welcome.Cons:Even great places have a few downsides, though they are minor. These were my picks:The restaurant/bar area wasn’t open yet, so I couldn’t enjoy my outside meals inside the hostel.The chance to mingle with other travelers felt limited due to the lack of a communal space to gather.During the summer, if the AC isn’t on, the cocoon-like beds can get a little stuffy.---Despite my initial stress of not finding housing in time, this hostel came to the rescue. Over my two-week stay, I was treated like royalty — and that’s saying something! Being newly built, everything in this hostel feels untouched, and the cleanliness is impeccable. What truly stood out, though, were the beds. Designed with metal frames, they’re sturdy and have a cocoon-like design, offering a level of privacy and comfort that’s rare in hostel living. Anyone who's experienced the typical hostel can appreciate how vital it is to have a secure, unmovable bed—something that’s often overlooked but makes all the difference.The international staff also left a lasting impression on me, making this place feel like home. I made new lifelong friends during my stay, and the warmth and sense of community were unmatched. Special shout-out to Gustavo, whose professionalism and openness made every conversation enjoyable and meaningful. He’s one of the reasons this hostel has earned a special spot in my heart. If you ever stay here, be sure to mention my name! :)In summary, this hostel was a lifesaver and exceeded all my expectations. With just a few minor adjustments, it has the potential to be a perfect stay for any traveler.

I stayed at Little Monkey for one night and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. The bed was comfortable and everything in the accommodation was brand new. The showers and toilets were very clean, and the staff was incredibly helpful. The location is perfect, within walking distance of the central station and right next to the Old Market, where you can find all the restaurants and cafes. If I have to spend the night in Enschede next time, I will without a doubt choose you again!
