this nomads hostel is probably one of the better nomads hostels i've stayed in.good things are that the facilities are relatively clean and modern. each bed space has a charger, locker and space to hang your towels which was a nice touch. bathrooms are also very clean. the location is pretty central. the service was so-so. they didn't know any...

I splurged on a double en-suite room for just myself and it was just like a regular hotel room with a double bed, bedside tables, a radio, flat screen TV and en-suite washroom and shower. For all the rooms, though, the kitchen is really small and there is only a few places to hang out in the lounge area. More

It's location is very convenience especially when you want something to eat. It is also right next to Cuba Street which is one of the main street in Wellington. The staffs were excellent helping me in changing rooms, letting us stay in a 4 beds dorm by ourselves and giving directions. The room generally is quite small with a tiny... More

stayed here for 5 nights, got upgraded from an 8 bed to a 6 bed which was good! we then realised none of the plug sockets in the room (or floor) worked, thankfully within a few hours reception had sorted the problem and it didnt happen again! One of the bunks in our room was broken and was leaning, even... More

I stumbled on Nomads as my last Hostel on a week worth of hopping from Hostel to Hostel because of the world cup and it was by far the best of the bunch. Staff were really friendly and helpful and always ready for a chat or to ask you how your day went, despite it being such a large hassle... More

This hostel refuses to allow you to have a glass of wine with your dinner but, surprisingly enough, theattached bar which it owns beside the hostel, is quite welcoming for those who would like a tipple. At outrageous prices. Following the recent Ireland-Wales rugby game, the Irish crowd was celebrating their loss in the bar, paying $8 for a beer... More

Stayed for one night on business and found it very clean, even cleaner than the posh amora hotel down the road. My room was very quiet and the bed was very soft and comfortable. The staff were very attentive and seemed to love their jobs. I really enjoyed the bar downstairs and found the other guests very friendly. More

there are about 300 beds in this hostel and there were 6 cups in the kitchen the 2 nights I stayed. the kitchen is tiny and totally inadequate. the tv lounge is next to the open plan kitchen and dining area so if you want to watch anything then you have to listen to it over the noise of people...

Myself and my partner stayed here for 3 nights whilst visiting the area. We were on a bit of a budget so decided that we would stay here. The rooms were very basic, but the bed was quite comfortable. The rooms maybe weren't as clean as I expected, but for the price I suppose we got what we payed for.... More

This looks nice, clean and has a new feel but due to long-term stayers (who rule the roost) the experience was ruined. On each night groups of long-termers on level 3 smoked and drank and made noise until the early hours - smoke filled the entire floor and reception were as much use as a chocolate fireguard. We told them... More
