Rented double bed with ensuite. Cons: no refrigerator (Expedia advertised it), only shared kitchen (with presumably a refrigerator, I didn't check). Aircon works great but makes clicking sound when using low fan speed, ok on medium - not a problem for me. Indifferent: Some stairs to get up then back down to the room but ok for me. Pros: good location - close Woolworths and town hall train station / light rail, internet wifi was good, app to open doors was good (slight delay to open door but it's ok to me), good price, staff were great. Other hostel users were super friendly. Lots of activities advertised. Good noise isolation. Notes: I didn't try the food / breakfast options.

"Unprofessional and Inconsistent Policy Enforcement – A Disappointing Experience" I am extremely disappointed with how this hostel enforces its policies, especially regarding alcohol. During my three-week stay, I saw multiple guests, including staff, drinking openly in the common areas with no intervention. This created confusion about the actual rules. However, when I had six cans of beer delivered, the receptionist suddenly informed me they would be confiscated due to an alleged alcohol ban. He told me I could pick them up later, but only if I consumed them outside. This rule was applied selectively and unfairly. When I questioned the decision, I was given unprofessional responses. The receptionist claimed not to have seen others drinking, even though he had been present when I observed it. Another staff member gave the same vague response, further highlighting the inconsistency in enforcing the rules. This experience showed a lack of professionalism, transparency, and fairness. If rules are to be enforced, they should be applied consistently to all guests. I respect the hostel’s policies, but the way this situation was handled left me frustrated and disappointed. I hope the management improves communication and consistency in the future.

Nomads Sydney - Hostel is in an unbeatable location—walking distance to trams, ferries, and trains, as well as Chinatown, eateries, the aquarium, botanical gardens, parks, and the Opera House. The staff, mostly travelers working for their stay, are friendly and helpful. The hostel organizes weekly activities announced via an app and intercom. This keyless hostel requires the app to unlock rooms and communicate with the front desk. The spacious kitchen is well-equipped with cookware, stovetops, microwaves, toasters, and blenders. There are three large refrigerators with a labeling system, cleaned weekly. Free filtered water is available at the front desk. Bathrooms are basic and not always well-maintained, sometimes running out of toilet paper—though the app makes it easy to request replacements. The dorm-style setup is the main drawback. Beds lack privacy screens, are squeaky, and some linens had stains (though mine were clean). I stayed in the all-female dorm, which was quieter and included a vanity with free hair dryers and straighteners. These rooms are on the 4th floor, avoiding noise from the attached bar. While not luxurious, it’s an affordable, well-located stay that gets the job done.

This place is whack lol -> they make you download an app to use as a room key which is totally fine and limits having to use key cards but the app has the world's longest delay in actually opening the doors and is really finicky to use!! The room had some kind of mold in it as we both were pretty congested and had a hard time breathing during our stay. There was only one bathroom stall and one shower for our side of the floor (probably like 20 people??). In addition the mattress and sheets were stained and funkyyyy. The staff were super nice tho and it was fairly affordable, but I think unless I was broke as I would pay to stay in a hotel next time hehe!

Location is good. Rooms weren’t ready at check in. We had to wait an extra hour before housekeeping was finished. The first room we stayed in had black mould and water damage. It smelled like stale alcohol and mould. We soon found out why there was water damage. The air con was leaking water all over the floor and splashing onto the bed. The second night we stayed, we were moved to a different room, but this room had no working air conditioning, which was honestly the worst considering Sydney’s humidity during our stay. We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom facilities and the standard was what you’d expect for a hostel. They were generally fairly clean. The hostel is a maze, combining multiple buildings and it was not a fun experience to lug a suitcase across multiple sets of stairs despite it being the first floor. There is a central lift in the building though. The hostel is attached to a pub/club called the scary canary and depending on where you are in the building, you’ll likely hear the loud music in your room, especially if the staircase doors that lead downstairs to the scary canary are open. You have to pass through the staircase in order to get to some of the rooms. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, so they were very accommodating with the issue with the first room we stayed in. When we were waiting to check into our rooms, they came to get us from the common area so we didn’t have to wait in the foyer where there was no seating.

This place is whack lol -> they make you download an app to use as a room key which is totally fine and limits having to use key cards but the app has the world's longest delay in actually opening the doors and is really finicky to use!! The room had some kind of mold in it as we both were pretty congested and had a hard time breathing during our stay. There was only one bathroom stall and one shower for our side of the floor (probably like 20 people??). In addition the mattress and sheets were stained and funkyyyy. The staff were super nice tho and it was fairly affordable, but I think unless I was broke as I would pay to stay in a hotel next time hehe!

Surprisingly quiet for a hostel. Perfect for a single traveller. Felt safe and the bed was very comfortable. Bring eye mask as city lights are bright through windows!!

Location is good. Rooms weren’t ready at check in. We had to wait an extra hour before housekeeping was finished. The first room we stayed in had black mould and water damage. It smelled like stale alcohol and mould. We soon found out why there was water damage. The air con was leaking water all over the floor and splashing onto the bed. The second night we stayed, we were moved to a different room, but this room had no working air conditioning, which was honestly the worst considering Sydney’s humidity during our stay. We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom facilities and the standard was what you’d expect for a hostel. They were generally fairly clean. The hostel is a maze, combining multiple buildings and it was not a fun experience to lug a suitcase across multiple sets of stairs despite it being the first floor. There is a central lift in the building though. The hostel is attached to a pub/club called the scary canary and depending on where you are in the building, you’ll likely hear the loud music in your room, especially if the staircase doors that lead downstairs to the scary canary are open. You have to pass through the staircase in order to get to some of the rooms. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, so they were very accommodating with the issue with the first room we stayed in. When we were waiting to check into our rooms, they came to get us from the common area so we didn’t have to wait in the foyer where there was no seating.
