Ordered a deluxe queen bedroom and it didn't even have a fridge, or cups to have water in. The shower had a curtain to keep the water out. I've stayed at nice places, and this place was okay. I would have preferred to spend a little bit more to get a better place someplace else. Nonetheless had a good discount on the rooms because of a membership, and the staff were so lovely and nice. I've stayed here before and it's always done a good job. For the deluxe Queen bedroom they could do better, nonetheless it did a great job and even had show watching apps on the TV!! That was cool. Watched some great movies - the blind side & Shawshank redemption. The location is AMAZING too. Very convenient place to be. Overall it wasn't horrible but I know it could be better, especially considering we had a deluxe room The staff were really helpful and helped upgrade the room and have the same room for the duration of the stay. Did the job, amazing staff members

YOUR KITCHEN NEEDS MAINTENANCE! Half of the stoves are not working at all. Other half are broken don’t have anything to start the flame. If this isn’t taken care of this is a hazard. ⚠️ Why ? Cause you have gas stoves that could catch fire if gas is leaking, isn’t properly turned off. Kitchen is too small for this many people. Place was decently clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. But the rooms had squeaky mettle beds, no curtains, no plugs next to the bed. Quiet dark. Nothing to do in the hostel. Kinda plain. But a good location. This place has potential. But it lacks care and investment. I’m not one to leave bad reviews but there’s some work to be done.

The rooms, lounge and entrance had high ceilings and did not feel small! The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean! On the other hand, we used the shared shower room outside our room, but after waiting for a long time, there was no warm water and we showered with cold water. (I tried both of the two, but only water came out.) If only water is served, I thought it would be kind if there was a notice on the wall. Other than that, it was a good place to stay.

Be aware it's a alcohol-free and smoke-free hostel! The room is pretty clean and comfortable, basic squeaky beds. The fridges for the food are definitely too small for all that people, the kitchen looked small and messy but haven't used it. Staff were warm and friendly!

This hostel has a laid-back vibe, and the staff are friendly, but hygiene isn’t exactly a strong point here. Make sure to thoroughly wash your plates, cups, and utensils before using them—and clean your table too while you’re at it. It’s clear that cleanliness isn’t a top priority, neither for the guests nor the cleaning staff. The blankets don’t feel very fresh, so I’d recommend sleeping under just the sheet or bringing your own sleeping bag. Also, be aware: if one person gets diarrhea, sooner or later everyone will be in the same boat. On the positive side, everyone is kind, and there’s a nice international atmosphere. Laundry costs 4 NZD, but it’s just a short wash cycle, so don’t expect spotless clothes. If you’re up for a bit of an adventure and don’t mind roughing it, it’s an okay place to stay. Otherwise, you might want to explore other options.

Another great stay at Nomads. Location is perfect. Rooms basic , but clean and comfortable. One of the quietest stays I've had in any hotel/hostel ever. ( rm 308) Pancake Sunday today and checkout came with fresh warm pancakes jam and butter. Amazing

Questionable housekeeping. Beds don’t feel fresh and cleanliness isn’t top priority. There were dirty cups sitting in our room the entire time since checking in and housekeepers leave the duvets directly on the floor. The kitchen could use more utensils, and it’s not cleaned properly. The rooms could use some real lockers. Also very stuffy in the dorms (only 1 small window). However staff is pretty friendly and location is ideal to visit Wellington. You get what you paid for I guess (20 nzd a night) even though hygiene standards shouldn’t be optional

For the cost the rooms are ok. However having to work around previous guests rubbish in the room and there being no toilet paper in any of the toilets on level 1 and 2 really let us down. Room we stayed in had bad ventilation so was stuffy and hard to sleep in. Yes it had 2 windows on one wall which did not allow for any air flow through the room. Location was very central.

Great hostel, great staff, and earthquake proof. I was here during the earthquake in November 2016. The staff was very prepared and made sure everything was good. The rooms were great! I love a hostel that provides two pillows. The free pancake breakfast was nice. They give you free food coupons for the bar next door. Food is great. Staff is always at reception which is nice. Would love to stay here again

Great location. Small but relatively well-equipped kitchen. Not many amenities to speak of other than a bar/diner on the ground floor and a great location downtown. The desk crew was very friendly and accommodating.

Cheap but serviceable. The prices are reasonable and the facilities are adequate. If staying cheaply is your goal, then Nomads is close to everything and affordable. Staff are friendly and the place attracts interesting people. Definitely check it out.
