The most social, friendly hostel we stayed in! Always heaps of friendly people on the roof Plenty of clean showers and toilets. Make sure you lock your valuables though in the giant lockable drawers they provide as our roommates were stolen from.

Very uncomfortable beds, not at all like the Nomads I know. Cramped and loud. Had a very poor sleep if any. Did not enjoy my stay like past times. Fans in rooms maybe... or a window.

Good for the price, not special at all, rooms are pretty small. The firealarm went off twice while I was there once at 6 in the morning! The location is great the bar next door pretty cool and if you are just looking for a cheap, pretty clean place to stay, it is all good!

Hi there, thanks very much for your feedback. We are sorry that you experienced the fire alarm to go off twice. Unfortunatley there was a cable fault which caused this to happen and wasn't in our hands. We hope you have a great time traveling. Nomads Auckland management

Room too expensive for travelers Kitchen really too small for the numbers of people staying in the hostel. We couldn't cook because there was no space at all at the evening

There was a room which was allocated for luggage which only had one access key which the hostel reception weren't able to locate at times. When I asked for this key to access the room for my luggage, I had to repeat myself a couple of times to get the message across, then finally when they were able to grasp my simple English, they didn't know where the key was so I had to wait in the lobby until someone 'felt' like returning it to reception. Seriously, you can't duplicate keys or something?

Hi there, thanks very much for your feedback! The reason we just hand out one luggage key is purely for security reason! We need to make sure that this key comes back down to reception as soon as possible for the next guest to store their luggage. Unfortunately some guests take more time than others to store their bags and return the key back to us. We hope you have a great time traveling! Nomads Auckland Management

Room had major water damage to one wall & room mate had advised water had been coming into the room the night before. Some staff were really good and friendly and others were impolite & lazy (out smoking whilst we were waiting to check in & we were told to wait) Key card had a lot of issues and was locked out of the room a number of times.

Hi there, thanks very much for your feedback! We apologize for the water damage in your room and the involved inconvenience with it! We experienced a lot of rain and problems with a drain. We don't appreciate the way you felt treated by one of our staff members. Customer Service is priority for us in any way and at no time you should feel any different! We hope you have a great time traveling and take your feedback seriously! Nomads Auckland Management

Great central location and cheap if you book early enough and choose the larger dorms. Common area was fine with pc's, television and sofa area to chill out with. Balcony the best bit although i wouldn't go in the hot tub - you'll probably catch something! Kitchen was far too small for all guests, especially the fridge. One double fridge for 5 floors of people is no where near enough. Get another!
