We just had one night here in a 6 mix dorm, although this hostel is huge we got put in with 4 noisy men which I didnt think was necessary, I would have liked a female dorm but I don't see why I should pay more for one! The toilets were unisex which I'm not a fan off and there... More

Overall this hostel is ok but not great and for similar prices ive stayed in far better hostels around NZ. Location is great if you wanna be in the city centre and its not far from the bus stop for the airport. Bathrooms facitilities are clean and there are plenty of them. Dorms are quite cramped though much what you... More

Nomads hostel is in a good location in auckland and the price is about the same as most places. The best thing i found about this hostel was the bar, met some awesome people in the bar at night and tried to drink the bar dry. The dorm rooms themself are a bit basic, but i've stayed in worse and... More

We stayed in a private ensuite room, very basic. Shower was fine, sink was a half sink and ended up spitting several mouthfuls of toothpaste on ground by mistake, but that could be a personal problem. Front desk not very helpful. Attached resturant/bar has great patio but is expensive. Roof top view nice, kitchen crowded. Internet 4$ an hour. Noisy... More

The location is quite good, as it is central. Around the hostel you can find some food places and nice restaurants. We had a double room delux (it just means you have a window!) which was just ok. But unfortunately there were some cockroches in the bath room (small, but anyways disgusting). The worst thing is the personnel at the... More

Our room seemed to be directly above a nightclub which kept us up till 4am every night. The hostel didn't have a friendly feel and the kitchen facilities were lacking for the number of people staying there More
