Better than expected for a hostel
A good stay. More than you’d expect from a hostel, including tea and coffee facilities. Air conditioning really good.
Alex, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but LOUD
Its a PARTY hostel. Do not expect to get much sleep. I had a private room and still got woken up by the nightclub downstairs and the loud, drunk people standing right outside the club til 4am every day of the week

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.

Room with nice view
Dung, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff are very helpful and the rooms are clean and tidy . The shower facilities are good with hot water . This is my second stay and would recommend to stay in the female only dorms as I felt very safe travelling as a sole female traveler. The elevator are out which is my only negative but due to required maintenance that’s not the staff fault . They are very helpful in helping you with getting your luggage to your room . Would def stay again. great location and activities within the hostel are well rounded and accommodate all

Julie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff and checking was awesome. They even upgraded me to a good room. I would be happy to stay here next time too as it is very convenient to move around. Downside - Broken fixtures in bathrooms and loud doors. Elevator is being fixed which was not ideal for me to walk 3 stairs after running a gruel marathon ( 5 floors to kitchen) Rest else, great work team and loved my stay here.

Room was clean and location is amazing. Little noisy at night but earplugs were suppled. Would stay there again. Good option for budget accommodation in Sydney cbd

It was a nice size and clean and tidy bedding
Allana, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I was unfortunate enough to have a room on the druitt street side, the noise was horrible throughout the night from cars, trucks, people walking past, people talking on the sidewalk or at the bar. Feels like we were on the street/sidewalk below as the noise can be heard loudly from our room, just horrible and was not able to sleep at all. Maybe the hotel can do something to insulate the room from the noise coming from the outside. Customer service was excellent and room was clean enough. Thank you.
Jocelyn, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

good place in good location however weird building
Tony, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

No windows/aircon in the top floor girls only rooms. 6 girls sharing one room with a really bad plug in fan. all sockets one end of the room rather than one for each individual bunk which was boiling hot. Overall areas were clean and kitchen is big. Good location if you want to be in the city.
Francesca, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were helpful and friendly, convenient location but if we could have at least a table in the room to put our essentials on would be great! Other than that, loved it! 😍 Thank you for our stay here!

Carole, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Location was excellent, close to public transport and very central. Bedding and room was clean, but bathrooms and other public spaces not kept clean. In the kitchen there often weren’t tea towels to dry dishes or enough clean cutlery.
Miriam, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great and friendly staff, clean, good people staying there, wonderful roommates and fun bar next door. Only small con was no plug on upper bunks (plenty within the room though).
