Check in was slow, machines didn’t recognise our booking code, queued to see the one girl available. You get a code number to open your room door. We had a delux room with bathroom. It was not worth the money we paid. Basic with stained quilt, air con that barely worked. After first day the code stopped working so we were up and down to have it reset. Location is good but apart from that if you are not a young traveller I wouldn’t stay here again

My sister and I checked in around 11pm (long after room cleaning is completed) to find that our private room hasn’t been cleaned since the last person used the room. Old used sheets, dirty socks on the ground. Not sure if vacuuming is a part of hostel room cleaning but that certainly wasn’t done. I was able to let that slide until I woke up the next morning and heard something moving in the bed area. The sheets sounded like they were sliding but nothing was hanging off the bed. I thought I was losing it until my sister and I saw the side of the bed moving and the white sheet on top moving with it. We tore the sheets off to make sure whatever living thing this was wasn’t within the sheets and was in the actual mattress. I have no idea what it was but I do know that I slept in that bed all night unknowingly! We told reception and a woman came up to our room to try and see it for herself. Of course the thing didn’t move but she took us downstairs and changed our room for us at my request. I doubt they truly took the situation seriously in terms of removing the bed from the room but I’m quite positive not every guest would have handled that as calmly as I did. Felt super gross there for the rest of my stay.

Good location but could of been better

The complex didn’t have a big or good enough area for parking my car for drop off and unloading and the one only lift was not working. They ran out of room cards , so we had to use a pass code ( which was problematic at best) for the first day and then only got one room card . We didn’t get room service or clean towels on the Saturday ☹️

I loved staying at nomads, the staff were all friendly, helpful and totally approachable. My only disappointment was that the spas were not working at the time of my stay and that was one of the reasons i chose nomads other other potential accommodations.

It wasn't bad! It was very bare bones. The front desk was very helpful with booking additional trips and so on. This is definitely a party hostel, so be ready for that. Other than that it was normal. Nothing out of the ordinary in a good way or a bad way.

Loved it!

Perfect location! So close to the beach, shops, Aldi everything you need! Majority of the reception staff were very helpful, we had a situation with another backpacker where we wanted to move rooms and this was sorted very quickly and without any fuss! Hotel is very clean, bathrooms are excellent, kitchen is also good (busy at times - but was expected). Large communal area, games room etc, Downside - have to pay for wifi

Terrible Stay

Good location but the room is terrible. Stayed in a private ensuite room. The lights were dim, and room was dirty and dusty. The black-coloured furniture and carpet make the situation worse. Carpet obviously was not cleaned or vacuumed for a long time. Many bugs and cockroaches in the room. Will never stay here again!
