It was very nice staying there one night, you have a small locker for your valuable stuffs, the showers and toilets were clean, you have tables in a shared space and some tables outside that must be lovely during summer (unfortunately fort us it was raining) The only point that was not so great I think was the location, it is quite far from the very centre but maybe it seemed like hours because it was raining (it is 15min walk)

I liked the electronic wall information centers. I wish they were a little quicker and didn't refresh as often. However, the rooms are small and is hard to find if not on the ground floor. My room had no heating even with the room heater and a mobile personal space heater. The bed was poor and the frame creaked loudly whenever I moved.

I am not so happy about nomad advance booking because even i have paid advance booking. They charged me full room charge without deducting advance booking.so i not so happy about this treetment.

Impressive. Would stay here again. Only criticism is a group of drunk guys who were being really noisy all night should have been dealt with.

Room was very cold and damp. There were no lockers available to secure my stuff. Atmosphere was VERY quiet! Shower was broken and I had to hold onto the shower head.

This place is nice and central to the center of town. It's got all the basic facilities you need, but it's nothing flash at all. Good place for a cheap roof over your head.

Relaxed and supportive staff. Nice big bathroom on ground level. Good kitchen. Door bell is very annoying during night time. Fresh and proper linen provided, but something did bite me up and along my leg during sleep. Very close to shopping mile. Good value for money.

We felt very at home at Nomad, the only thing wed like to mention is that there should be more sponges and towels in the kitchen to do your washing up. Apart from that, it was excellent.

Everything is great and the private room is perfect for backpackers! But the breakfast could be better as a loaf of bread was expired, better to check and remove them daily.
