If you ever choose to stay at a backpackers in Melbourne, avoid Nomads All Nation Backpackers on Spencer street, at all cost. It's filthy, doesn't feel safe and secure and is EXTREMELY noisy. I didn't like it one bit. Didn't get much sleep at all. The bedding was clean and all, but the trams stopping in front of the hostel... More

When we read the reviews before we arrived we expected a real horror hostel. However we were fully surprised by what we experienced. The hostel is based right in the city center & the building might look shabby from the outside but it's been done up inside! We were welcomed really great by reception & they helped us out where...

I had an OK stay, nothing great nothing bad. Location was good the biulding is looking a little tired. Looks like they are trying hard to clean it up a bit. Didnt make to many friends, not a very sociable place if your not a big drinker, they have a busy bar next door

I stayed here for 5 nights with a big group of people and after reading the reviews here on TripAdvisor I was absolutely terrified about how I would manage to survive. My own experience of Nomads All Nations is different in that it is a basic enough place to stay that is not exceedingly uncomfortable. The bathrooms required a high-pressure... More

This hostel was the only one available because of the Grand Prix and we were dreading it as it has such bad reviews. When we arrived it wasn't as bad as had expected, the staff were friendly, the dorm seemed ok and the female bathroom was pretty clean. There aren't any lockers in the dorms which was not so good,...

We arrived outside the Nomads All Nations backpackers hostel and a guy on a bench told us it was disgusting and not to bother. We had already reserved a 12 bed dorm for 3 nights so leaving wasn’t an option unless we wanted to lose some precious backpacking money. We went to the reception and found the staff extremely helpful,... More

Do NOT stay here!! Building is old and in disrepair. Hallways are dimly lit and creepy. Lockers cost $4 a day and there are only 20 for the whole building. Some nice people, but also some seedy folks walking around too. Building wasnt very secure especially at night. The kitchen smells like the bathrooms at many other hostels, and you... More

Stayed here on our last night in Melbourne so we could catch an early train. Didn't need our alarms as got hardly any sleep due to near constant noise throughout the night and no obvious noise policy. Parties in corridor to all hours. Whilst noise depends on sometimes unthinking fellow occupants the hostel facilities were below par too. No signage... More
