Nomads Queenstown Backpackers

Very central location to all the attractions.

Good: location, right near the lake and many dining options. Bad: depending on room you get very noisy music for half the night making it near impossible to sleep. In my room the fridge was also so frozen up that the door wouldnt close. Couldn’t open room curtains as it was directly opposite an office window and if you opened the window you are staring straight at officeworkers about 3 metres away

The location is great. A good backpackers environment.

Staff was fabulous. Friendly, helpful, informed about the area

Very good for this type of property

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.

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

Very convenient to shopping and dinning, but very noisy at night due to many beer houses and night clubs near by the building, there is one just at the ground floor of the building.

I understand that Queenstown is expensive, but for a small ensuite room with no external windows and an air-conditioner that not only didn't work but sounded like an aircraft was flying over the room, the value was terrible. The location however was great.

Everything was as to be expected from a backpacker but they put me in a room right next to a bar that didnt close till 3am... Then a person in my room got up at 5am. I had to wake up at 6 am. No sleep!
