Nomads Queenstown Hostel

Personally I wouldn’t pick this accommodation again. Good thing of this hostel is its location, as it’s only a minute away from the city centre, restaurants, shops, etc. The hotel staff was also nice. I think it is perfect for young adults in their early twenties who may be travelling alone and want to meet new people, or for “party people” groups. In my case however I was looking for a rather comfortable and quiet place, and this was neither. The hostel is packed with people, the kitchen is too small to host everyone at peak hours and the shared dorms are rather messy as there is not enough room for everyone’s belongings. No hangers or wardrobes available, no benches or chairs to stack things, so everything ends up on the floor. It just feels overwhelmingly crowded. I stayed here with my Dad in his 60s and it was definitely not the atmosphere we were looking for. The night clubs are also just around the corner, so ear plugs are definitely needed if you’re a light sleeper. Overall I think there are nicer places to stay in the same area which would offer a more comfortable experience.

If you are a light sleeper, I do not recommend booking from this as there are bars nearby. So it gets pretty noisy throughout the night.... However the location is awesome.nIf you are someone who needs good connectivity..... I do not recommend as the wifi is very choppy... You get disconnected quite frequently and the speed is super slow.nLast of all, the service is ok ... They rely on the app which it is not prompt due to the horrible wifi and maybe they miss the message or they overlook it... but the service over the counter was wonderful... The cleaning of room is a give n miss .... At times they clean it properly... At times they forget to replenish or totally didn clean at all...nOther than that, if you like to socialize and want to be in the middle of all the happenings, this is a pretty good place for you to stay.

Freddie at Nomads Hostel was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond as a travel consultant—super friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to his recommendations, we got to enjoy some incredible activities at great prices. Everything was well-organized and hassle-free. If you're staying at Nomads, definitely ask Freddie for help planning your adventures—you won’t regret it!

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND if you're here for the snow unless you want cold and damp boots each morning. The ski storage is exactly that, just a storeroom. It is not a drying room.nnOtherwise just like another backpackers. Ample kitchen storage, decent showers with good pressure and enough hot water, tiny room storage doors falling off their hinges. Minimal storage space in the shower, you're just limited to one hook and the floor. Long-term stayers and large groups/cliques will push you out of the lounge even if you're there first by gathering around you and playing loud music from their speakers while others are trying to relax or read. There were a lot of inconsiderate people. Unfortunately not something management can do too much about.

Location is great. Heart of the city. Rooms are very spacious. Only fault is its right above the bars. Could not sleep as there were karaoke going from 11pm till 2am followed by loud drunk tourist at 4am.nWould not recommend if you're a light sleepernWould recommend if you're a big party person
