Rachael is very friendly, welcoming and very pleasant to interact with. This place was perfect for our needs and the amenities (large shared kitchen, couches next to fireplaces, sauna, etc.) were the icing on the cake. Thank you, Nomads!

10/10 Exceptional

It's an older, well used property. Basic amenities. We didn't take advantage of the kitchen facility but looked like the young adults were getting good use out of it. Good value considering how popular the area is. We loved our small balcony.

Was just like a hotel as we had a private room, only downside is there is a nightclub round the corner which goes till 4am but was such a nice stay

2/10 Poor

Thank goodness I was only staying for 3 nights. I understand it’s a hostel, but it’s impossible to sleep. For 3 nights in a row, either the hostel itself or a bar right next door was blasting music until 3 AM in the morning; I literally laid in bed from 10 PM to 2 AM one night trying to fall asleep. Need to soundproof the doors more/be more considerate of guests who aren’t staying in Queenstown just to drink and party. If I came to Queenstown again, I’d rather pay 3x the amount and get a hotel. Room itself was ok. Shower door doesn’t seal, so it constantly flooded the bathroom and left a mildew smell.

10/10 Exceptional

Great! Stay in double bed room

Jared at the front desk is awesome. I only wish that there was a hallway light into my room. I booked a double, thinking that I had full bath access. The baths are shared. I love that they offer cooking class as well as you get a free dinner. I'm not sure when they cook for the free dinner but when I checked in I was told that there was going to be complementary Indian food in the kitchen if I wanted some. The theme does change. You use an app to unlock your door. Unfortunately the app keeps messing up and for some reason it takes about 15 tries for my door to open There is a sona, it is usually occupied and I think it only seats two people. When I went up it was occupied by two gentlemen, so it was a tight fit for two people. There is also a backyard terrace. Parking can be a little tricky. I parked on the street in front of the hostel, and got lucky both times. They have some pretty cool stickers I purchase. Super convenient location to downtown Queenstown. Literally a 6 minute walk

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location with street parking in front of hotel. This is more of a hostel/backpacker hotel. Can be loud at night due to bars/clubs across the street and behind the building. Only like a minute walk to the lake and maybe 5 minutes walk to the main street. Price is good and has a central kitchen if you like to cook your own meals (can be crowded at times)
