Having traveled for a while, I have stayed in several poor backpackers. But this place is beyond bad. The rude German receptionist, lost my booking, then blamed it on my "poor English" over the phone. (I'm English). Tried to over charge me, then agued over simple Maths. Eventually giving in and claimed we had a "free upgrade" (from a 4... More

This place is cheap, and you can tell why. The place is really run down and dirty. The dorm rooms come in a weird set up with separate 'apartments' with the dorm rooms coming off the apartment. This means that the kitchen is communal but within the apartment. There are no windows for the kitchen so the place stinks and... More

Stayed there when we first arrived in Auckland. It is right in the center. One good thing in this backpacker are the different apartments. 2 apartments on each floor, each with their own kitchen. We tried both the dorms and the double rooms. The double rooms are ok. The ones in the apartment with only double are better (302 i... More

It was a good place to stay because of the price, but web arrive the place looks ver old and dirty. The rooms don't had enough air. Without fan and air con the place was very humid. I thing that's the only good think that the HOSTAL had was the location.

I stayed in the Nomads Fat Camel for a couple of weeks and i could not fault one aspect of my visit. Ideally located right beside the centre of Auckland, Queen Street, Nomads Fat Camel can cater to every need of the backpacker/ holidaymaker. I stayed in a 8 bed dorm and this gave me the opportunity to meet other... More

Had a similar experience to the person below. Booked a female only dorm. 2 girls in dorm decided to have male "guests" for the night. Fortunately didn't witness anything, but could definitely hear (which was enough, especially when they were doing it in the common area and almost in the dorm!). No sleep and pretty disturbing. Great location and staff... More

I always stay in dorms and I'm not very picky about noise, sensible amounts of stuff lying around and people coming and going. But this hostel was so bad that even though I had paid for three nights, I booked another hostel after one night, and since they don't have a refund policy I ended up paying for two room... More

I know this is a hostel for backpackers. But the place is still much worse than expectation. The facilities are very old and bad, showers are terrible (I think they are 40 ys old). I felt same as RiOrIo24 did. “I Can't Believe They are in Business!” But the staffs are nice at least and location is good.

This hostel was absolutely terrible! We stayed for only 1 night and thank God it wasn't any longer than that! We booked online and then got to the hostel for 12 in the afternoon to check in. As soon as we came in and stood at the desk the guy at reception just ignored us. I don't know what he... More
