Had a great time in Nomads from the seond I arrived! The staff were so friendly, especially a Dutch young blond girl. Rooms were really clean and the whole hostel had a really cool vibe. Wills defs be recommending it to anyone else travelling to Auckland as it's right in the centre of everything.

I got upgraded to a King room with my friend (due to a random act of kindness from the staff and being a regular), it was just like staying in a hotel. Comfy beds, had our own TV (although you'll find the one downstairs working way better!), our en-suite with towels and soap, and a lovely sofa. Super clean, really... More

Has the potential to be a decent place but lacks attention to important details! I stayed here for around 5 weeks working in exchange for accommodation. mostly I appreciated just having a place to stay, and despite some sleepless nights, it could have been worse. Now when we cleaned the dorms, the procedure was pretty much to pull all the... More

Not many words to describe, paid NZD 112 only to get a shoe box room which doesn't look very clean either. Only great for a last minute room hire for one night stay only which is great because the staff are friendly and very efficient.

Good location if you don't mind your windows literally rattling all night long from the music being played downstairs. Staff (the only one I met) was very friendly. Rooms smell awful- possibly something to do with the ancient filthy carpet? Bathrooms- absolutely gross. Not a fan of unisex bathrooms which mustve been something i missed on the website?

The hostel is centrally located and my four bed ensuite dorm was equipped with fan/heater, TV and hair dryer. Because of the location you can do almost everything by foot and your close to the harbour for the ferries to Devonport or Waiheke Island. They have a nice lounge area with TV and some computers, but what I really liked... More
