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

"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.
