Positive: The room was bigger than expected and very clean. Very quite, bed was comfortable, staffs were superb. The key app was new to me and I liked the experience of not needing to have a key with me.

Exhaust fan is too loud, and we can't turn it off, however, when the bathroom door was closed, the noisy wasn't that bad. The window has a decent size but couldn't be open, so the air does not circulate much. And is a bit strange to have to request the staff to turn on /off the AC. We had no problem with the requests, but it feels like we are being controlled.

This was my second stay at Nomads, because of its proximity to lake, shops and bus stops. I was in a four-person dorm with ensuite and a balcony at the front of the building. Outside is party central at night, but with double glazing and air conditioning, everyone in my dorm slept well. Helpful staff, personal bed lights and space in the dorm were other pluses.

In the busy kitchen, I wasn't always sure how clean some teatowels were, as very wet ones could still be out for use. Perhaps a basket could be provided for any that are accidentally dropped on the floor or are saturated and a fresh supply could be in another basket in case the provided ones run low.

Location. Short walking distance to buses, shops, 24hr convenience store, lakefront, food vendors, Skycity Casino, bakeries, cafes, restaurants etc. Cleanliness. Spacious balcony. Sleep comfort. V. g. hot shower water flow. Fridge. Mountain view. Would stay again even though we felt room over priced.

Handbasin plug faulty. Room without facecloths. Housekeeping haphazard eg forgot to replenish milk more than once. Forgot to replace loo paper more than once. Forgot to tidyup bed. Forgot to replenish drink sachets. They need a check list. Reception v. g, friendly and fairly helpful. Overlooked informing us of an important matter which caused a discomfort problem. Also a technical problem. Room without toaster but did have an electric jug. Special microwave space with outlet but mic missing...would have been very handy for cooking and heating food No small indoor table or seating. Used outdoor chairs without any table and placed plates to eat from on our knees. Lighting adequate.

The location of Nomads Queenstown is fantastic, everything is within a short, convenient, walk. The common area is inviting and comfortable with a cosy fire, reading areas, pool table, balcony and dining area. The kitchen is tidy and offers plenty of cooking space for guests, the whole hostel is cleaned several times a day with round the clock friendly staff.

As with many hostels the ongoing repairs of accommodating as many guests mean that on occasion things were out of service (showers) and needed fixing. They were prompt to action these repairs.

Full marks for the location of this accommodation. The rooms were clean and the staff was brilliant. It’s a few steps away from lake Wakatipu and some great restaurants. I have mobility issues and was allocated an accessible room, which was very resourceful. Would highly recommend staying here

It’s on a noisy street and there is noise all night from the partying. But we’re not light sleepers and didn’t mind it. Parking downstairs is expensive, so you will need to park 500m-1 kms away and walk upto the accommodation with great views around

Stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm with ensuite and it was comfy temperature and the bed and linen was pleasant. A bit tight on space in the room and a bit hard to hang up clothes and jackets and towels due to the space, so had to keep my things tidy, but It was a enjoyable stay.

The shower had a dodgy seal on it so it leaked onto the floor a bit, so the small bathroom with the towel was constantly wet, and no benches to put the toiletries. The PowerPoint's could be in a better spot and maybe 1 more for the 6 person room.

Location and kitchen

There are not enough electrical sockets. There are only four in the six-person room, and they are too high on one side of the wall, which is not convenient for charging. There are no sockets in the public lounge area. It does not require much investment to add a curtain to the lower bed, which is convenient for travelers and avoids disturbing others when the bedside lamp is turned on at night.

The location of the hostel is perfect; it is right in the center and next to the lake. There are many places to shop, and the view from the room is amazing, plus it has a balcony. The room had good heating, which is super essential in Queenstown. The guy who attended to me was really kind, I don't remember his name; he's the tall guy with glasses and black hair. His attention is magnificent, always willing to help you.

The showers are very narrow. If you don't like being in a place with many people, this place is not for you. It is always very crowded, and there is no way to cook due to the number of people.

Can’t find better value, came for a last minute trip and the 4 bed mixed dorm was one of the better hostels I’ve stayed at. Sauna and facilities also a plus. Very convenient location to both get onto the mountains and enjoy town

The bunk beds are pretty loud (creaky). Honestly no complaints for the price, but I’d just be aware if you’re a light sleeper.

The somewhat spartan, windowless room was what I'd been led to expect, and it was very comfortable, with the exceptions mentioned below. The location is fantastic. The youth vibe, both in the clientele and the staff, was refreshing.

Electronic access to rooms is still in its infancy, and these were a pain in the...Supposedly, you can ask the desk to turn up the heat or turn it down, but the desk needs to read its messages, and of course in New Zealand, staffing is a problem. In the meantime, though, you've got a temperature you don't like very much and little you can do about it.
