โนแมดส์ ซิดนีย์ - โฮสเทล

The room was very difficult to get to with luggage. Had to take an elevator to the 2nd floor and then moved through other buildings and down15 stairs to get to room. Not convenient to get in and out.

I chose it for its price and location. Couldn’t have been better for that. Maintenance and cleaning issues that are easy to fix such as handle off shower and remote not working, shower needs a scrub not just a wipe. Do that and couldn’t fault it. My room was located next to traffic lights so Billy Eileish

Too noisy from the cars outside

"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.

Friendly staff and guests. Good facilities for the price.

noise was crazy i couldn't sleep the whole time i was there. yes super loud!! from 9 or 10 til 3am

Staff were friendly and efficient. There was an ability of every body to do their best for you

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.

Its a PARTY hostel. Do not expect to get much sleep. I had a private room and still got woken up by the nightclub downstairs and the loud, drunk people standing right outside the club til 4am every day of the week

A good stay. More than you’d expect from a hostel, including tea and coffee facilities. Air conditioning really good.

Over all very good.

Over all are good

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!

The hostel is right above a night club which can be noisy till 1am in the morning. Hairs were found on the bed sheet & the ventilation in toilet is bad.

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.

Nice and close to town, but the duvet has some blood in it. It's very disgusting. Will post some photos of it. They would have changed the duvet cover and seen the blood but didn't do anything about it. It's very disgusting.

Very friendly staff and helpful to our queries

All good.

Treated very well by the front desk, but the door lock did not work
