Nomads Airlie Beach

I’ve stayed at a few Nomad’s and you usually know what to expect, big rooms and pretty comfy beds. This property was great in terms of facilities it’s a big site with a lot of stuff to do. However it really let itself down by the terrible state of the bathrooms. The shower in my en suite was the worst I’ve ever come across in a hostel. The taps barely worked and you had to turn a knob to get the water to flow as if you left it on the shower would leak. Yesterday the whole shower fell apart and water sprayed everywhere. Once I’d finished I left the bathroom and got a pretty harsh shock from the switch in the bathroom and one of the girls in my room said she’d had the same thing the day before so today I went to use the camper showers instead but got barely a trickle from it at points. Housekeeping made the floors in the bedroom so wet everyday there was a puddle that never went away and was easy to slip up. They didn’t add anymore toilet paper on more than one occasion and left cigarette butts which had been left by French smokers outside the rooms were not cleaned. It’s a shame because apart from the dire bathrooms and poor housekeeping (and allowing smoking on the grounds) it’s actually a great hostel more like a resort. But those things really let it down. Comfy beds with privacy curtains and big lockers were great.

They didnt clean the room the whole stay (5 days). Shared bathroom with 3 other girls…

A very good place

The accomodation wasn’t the cleanest or best maintained in terms of amenities, however the staff were brilliant and helpful in ensuring a wonderful holiday. It’s on the Main Street of Airlie Beach which made transport, dining and activities super accessible.

The furniture was rotting and falling apart. Bed was very uncomfortable. Spa bath was not clean enough to use. Toilet cistern was broken. TV was very small and not worth using. Very over priced. Will never stay there again.

Perfect location in the city, good size room and very helpful staff.

Dilapidated Old room with few facilities. Very noisy. You could hear every noise from adjoining rooms. The shower head drooped so I had to bend down to wash my hair.

This is for backpackers. I must say I blame myself for not looking closely enough. I would not have booked this hotel for me. The private room was dated. There was not a single seat to sit on. The lighting was terrible. Good thing we only stayed one night

Booked this through wotif.com. Nowhere in the wotif booking page does it mention this is backpacker accommodation. In fact it calls it a hotel. There were swarms of young people - schoolies? Room was spacious and clean, but very tired. May be ok for backpacker’s but certainly not up to par as a hotel.

Neat, basic, wow what a large property and big dorm rooms.

There was nothing I liked about this property, spoilt my holiday intirely

The property itself was lovely, the room however was well below standards of hospitality with rusty bar fridge, mould showing on ceilings, no blanket, mismatching drapes, most missing hooks, leaking old aircon units and broken outdoor furniture. Paying 198 for this unit was a total rip off.

Nowhere to sit, no chairs. 2 Mugs, 1 teaspoon no other crockery or cutlery. No light in toilet. Rusty metal roofing in shower cubicle. Shower taps loose, one fell off when turned on. CRACKED POWER POINT & LIGHT SWITCH in bathroom. Dirty unpainted toilet door. OLD rusty bar fridge with Chux cloth under door to catch the leaks.

Old and dirty room, no blanket for the bed, old curtains, poor value for the money we paid. Would not recommend.

I ended up being checked into a room at base. It was very basic as to be expected as at backpackers. No TV though as my room was an individual room. No indoor or outdoor table and the front patio area was very dirty and last guests items still in the fridge. 2 star at best.

Don't recommend to anyone.

Hi well the rooms were very dusty and the shiwer doors have mould. Health n safety issue. Beds were clean and comfy. Staff at reception kind n helpful. Kitchen clean but small. Fan in room 13 was on and very noisey the button to turn off was broken fixed finally. Couldnt sleep easily

Overall okay, but pretty expensive for what you get

We left without staying it was run downs and full of backpackers camping right in from of the room

Reception is poorly laid out - I found the "reception" area underneath a giant sign that said nomads only to find out I have to go about two blocks to X Base Backpackers to check in and it took a bit for people to Reception is to the point and moves quickly. Got introduced to an app called GOKI that would act as my key; nice touch but would have preferred a room key.
