All round good stay
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rented double bed with ensuite. Cons: no refrigerator (Expedia advertised it), only shared kitchen (with presumably a refrigerator, I didn't check). Aircon works great but makes clicking sound when using low fan speed, ok on medium - not a problem for me. Indifferent: Some stairs to get up then back down to the room but ok for me. Pros: good location - close Woolworths and town hall train station / light rail, internet wifi was good, app to open doors was good (slight delay to open door but it's ok to me), good price, staff were great. Other hostel users were super friendly. Lots of activities advertised. Good noise isolation. Notes: I didn't try the food / breakfast options.

Surprisingly quiet for a hostel. Perfect for a single traveller. Felt safe and the bed was very comfortable. Bring eye mask as city lights are bright through windows!!

I love staying at Nomads. A little more expensive but worth it for the location. Staff are lovely and super helpful no matter the situation.
Olivia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I chose it for its price and location. Couldn’t have been better for that. Maintenance and cleaning issues that are easy to fix such as handle off shower and remote not working, shower needs a scrub not just a wipe. Do that and couldn’t fault it. My room was located next to traffic lights so Billy Eileish
