Just a factory !!! a small kitchen. I had never seen that before, but there is a very high / tall / not stable Bunk so when you are upstairs It's totally unconfortable !!!! . but nice building / place and security

Beds are bit noisy and theres weird smell of gas in the kitchen, but apart from that everything was great. I was actually put in better room than one I have booked, and also wasn't really happy with one of my roommates so they have moved me to different bedroom with no fuss!! There are also those free evening meals, but snack size and you can upgrade to main size for just $2 which is good value i think. If i will be back in Wellington I will stay with Nomads again for sure.

We really liked this hostel. It has a bar connected to it and they also serve free food in the evening. They also provide free tea and coffee and milk to go with it. These things just make your day so much better when you're on a budget! Staff was very nice and friendly and helpful. The hostel is very clean and in a good location. We stayed in a four bed dorm which had an ensuite toilet and shower. Would recommend.

Stay in hostel was good for that money. I did not expect much and I´ve got what I supposed to get. But I have terrible experience with aftercomunication. I left charger in dorm and I called next day. Staff promissed to call me back in few mins but they did not.Than I called next day again, they promissed to call me back, but they didn´t ... this was for all week and after that one good person really checked it and found that there is no charger on that room ... after one week - how surprising!!!

Double ensuite rooms are fantastic for the price. Very comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Free food every night from the bar next door is good and convenient, and there is always someone helpful at the front desk.

It is a rarity that you can spend a few days in a hostel and wholeheartedly be made to feel like your part of a family. The staff meet every requirement you desire of them, being made to feel as a friend rather than just another customer. The facilities are of a quality far exceeding a backpackers hostel, having modern amenities that still host character in a pristinely clean kept environment. To top things off the adjoining bar

This is the place to stay if you are in Wellington. It's clean and nice, and the beds were cozy. The bunks are high up but the rooms are nice and big.

24/7 reception is for nothing if you can't even keep your sheets clean and showers running properly. Also the bunk beds were really squeky and shaky. Even a small movement like moving your leg to other position would shake the whole complex.

The 4 bed dorm i stayed in was very small, with little room to put your bags. Kitchen is also too small for the amount of people. The location is very good and i loved the old building it is in. Beds were very squeeky.

The kitchen was dirty most of the time and the TV was on 24/7 and way to loud, killed the atmosphere of a place that could be quiet good.

Good standard hostel except the beds were awful! They were uncomfortable as the mattresses were not deep enough and you could feel the solid slats underneath! They also had a nasty plastic 'creak' whenever you moved or twitch. The beds themselves were also quite flimsy and creaked also!! Meant that all night was woken up from various people moving in their sleep!!

if you buy wifi you can only access it on one device but I wanted to use it on my phone too but couldn't after I had logged into it on my computer but I had paid $4 for it so it should be unlimited.

Unable to fairly rate atmosphere or facilities as was only there for part of a night. Good place to stay and would stay again. Apparently some other hostels have individual secure storage in shared rooms, that may be one thing to look into one day if you are trying to improve services.

Extremely clean, only letdown in that regard was the kitchen, which was very small and seemed to get dirty. Facilities were really nice. Stayed in a double with an en-suite to start with, which was really nice, then moved to a very spacious 8 bed dorm. It feels like a hotel, and people tend to keep to themselves. Staff are all very helpful and friendly about from one jobsworth on reception.

Hostel is in a good location, and has secure doors, but no lockers in rooms (as in all other hostels I stayed in in NZ). I stayed in a 4 bed dorm and the room was very small, with little floor space for bags, also the bunks were very rickety and squeaky. I had a good cheap meal at the bar next door.

Excellent! Loved staying there, was a nice place, comfortable, felt like a hotel to us (stayed in a private en-suite for a change at the end of our NZ holiday!) but still had the benefits of a travel desk and fun common room. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

We stayed at double room and that was nice: clean room, comfy bed (but the bed was a little bit small and it squeaked and it was a bunk bed) and we had our own shower and toilet. Kitchen was clean. Staff was very helpful and the location was good.
