Very good”

Overall had a good stay. I stayed in 8 bed female dorm which was clean and had lockers, though not much space to put your stuff. Some rooms are quite smelly though and people had to keep doors open. Bathroom was clean, kitchen spacious and they have a rooftop which is nice. Wifi is not very fast and works only on the ground floor. Staff was nice and check in really easy and quick.

Just for one night”

Pros- in city center. Skyline Bus from the Airport drops u off at 99 Queens Street and hostel is 500 m away. Cons- too many beds in one room, room smells bad. Couldn’t even take a shower. Book a better hostel the next day BUT if ur in a budget, then do what u gotta do.

Good”

Kitchen is dirty and way too small for the number of people in this hostel. Rooms are cramped and no aircon so window has to be left open and there’s a lot of noise, although this is expected in a city. Just needs a bit of refurbishment but location is perfect.

Noisy”

Big noise all the time from the hand dryer devices mounted in the bathroom on the wall where my bed was on the other side of the wall in the neighbor dormitory. The hostel was not willing to take any action or offer compensation.

Not helpful staff about noise”

Attentive staff, great location.”

We were informed that there was a mix-up with Agoda and hostel was overbooked for the type of rooms. Frontdesk gave us the closest equivalent (double room without shower), and made a small (and much appreciated) gesture of goodwill. Room had window, was clean, just got a bit noisy at night given the partying crowd on street. Overall, good value for money, and would recommend to others.

Excellent location, clean and excellent rate”

We stay here just for one night this time and if you are very easy going, I def recommend this hotel. You can make lots of friends. Walls are very thin so you could hear what's happening next door, but if you are not spending lots of time apart from sleeping then stay there. Very clean and the location is perfect. I will stay here again.

Dirty room, really disgusting”

The room and the shower were wery dirty, we ask them to clean up, but it wasn't very helpful. There was dirt and hair everywhere, we didn't feel comfortable at all. Location is good, though, and the staff was nice.

Good Location. Okay for backpackers, NOT recommended for Couples”

Located near everything including bus stops to airport and hop on/off bus. Close to shopping and food area. Very good for backpackers and young folks, not ideal for Couples as the Double Rooms are tiny, untidy (ours had bed bugs too).

Hap hazard check in, less than clean private room ”

Check in was hap hazard. Was informed I had more than $600 to settle (we had paid) was given one key card for us both, but then pulled up on us both not being able to show the key cards for security. The room itself was as expected as a hostel double with en-suite, the shower was surprisingly powerful. However the room was in DESPERATE need of a vacuum with a heap of dust and previous guest nail clippings left for us, which really ruined the feel of the room in general:

For the affordable place to stay”

Staff were more than awesome, room was average/basic and location wasnt good as had group partying and fighting loud as outside in public carpark.

Excellent”

This place is truly good. They maintain their facilities and keep it quite at night. Even tho I lost my towel, but i had good quite sleep at night. Thanks!

Nice rooftop, clean & all u need”

Second time I stood at nomads, clean - nice rooftop bar - value for money

Don’t get wifi ”

I was in a room where I wasn’t having a good wifi signal. I was paying 12$ for 7 days wifi so I could get wifi in my room and not only in common areas. Worst thing I did. I was rarely getting connected and when I was connected it was really really slow. Of course I talked about this situation with the staff that couldn’t do anything about it.

Rude check in”

Receptionist girl who works there arguing with me lol. She doesn’t have any idea about how to treat customers, besides trying to teach me how shall I do my account name etc ... really !! only her was a problem and The other staff which by the way was way much nicer ! She doesn’t do good her job! And now I understand why people complain about the place besides very noisy in the rooms plus drinking people inside the room and dirty rooms!

Location location location”

Each level has different accomodation. I chose the one with a private bathroom and it was clean and tidy. They have a kitchen and a lounge room for all to use. They also have nights were they have a get together with hotdogs and sausage sizzle. Best thing is it I right in the middle of the town so it is a great location.

Not for us”

We arrived in Auckland after 13 hour flight. We changed rooms because the double bed would not have worked for both of us. The rooms were disgusting! It smelled so bad. I was surprised the showers had hot water. Overall, we would not recommend this place.

Fine for what we needed ”

Stayed for one night here, was fine for that, we had a private room with en-suit but that def needs a refresh. Floor had a hotel in it, the bunkbed with double was ok, room had a fan. Great location but feels as tho they could Spend abit doing up the rooms

Nice experience ”

Excellent location, just near the transport centre and the wharf. Nice staff and bathroom. The problem is the kitchen is too small for such number of people, which make the dining place with nice view very crowded during peak time.

Awesome cheap & central”

I am from Auckland but live a fair way out of the city. If I plan on spending the night in town and going out, I always enjoy finding myself a room to crash in afterwards to prevent driving or spending money on taxis etc. Nomads is the definition of a central downtown location, the staff were more than happy to accommodate when a friend of mine managed to misplace my room card, no extra charge for the card, upgrade to a room with a window, OR the late check out of 12pm. Fantastic service. Not amazing rooms, very small but for $80NZD I had my own private room on the top floor with en-suite and a great view of the city. Perfect if it's just yourself, although maybe not recommended if you end up with a couple of guests at the end of the night! :)
