Didn't like that we only got a douvet couver as a blanket when it is winter it is way to cold for that. A 16 bed dorm is the largest I have been in and for a 16 bed dorm $26 is way to expensive!! Expecilly since we. Don't get any bedding.

I travelled as a couple and there was heaps of things to do in Noosa. The hostel was relaxing during the day. I definately reccomend it. The place was clean and had a really good vibe.

I spent most my time chilling out with the staff, there a lot of fun. I read the reveiws before i stayed and most said the place was dirty and they wouldnt recommend it, But i knew some people that had aready booked in, soi booked in to stay with them. There was nothing wrong with the cleanliness of the place, It was fine!

No pick up bus. On check in staff carried on personal conversations amongst themselves, gave us no info about hostel or area and we received no apology when we asked why the shuttle had not met us. Bad first impression. 16 bed dorm was clean and spacious with 2 big showers. Beds had dirty sheets on though. Staff gave us dirty broken plate sets crawling with ants. Kitchen too small and filthy to use. $5 meals not served hot. Would not reccommend, not worth the price at all.

I'm sorry to hear you did not enjoy your time with us here at Nomads Noosa. First impressions are important in any business, so I will speak with all reception staff about their customer service. Our bus runs to and from the transit centre several times throughout the day offering a free pick up and drop off. I'm sorry to hear you missed all bus runs. Our $5.00 meals should never be served "cold", I hope you let the bar staff know and they replaced it with a hot meal. Thank you for your feedback.

I was horrified to read there were "rats" in our kitchen. I hope you notified a member of staff at reception about these unwanted pests. Our kitchen is cleaned 3 times daily, if the cleanliness of the kitchen is not up to standard, then I will speak to all housekeeping staff. Thank you for your feedback.

Noosa is a cool place but this hostel could be better, kitchen is awful for the amount of people staying at the hostel, when I stayed there was only 1 sharp knife and 3 pots. The staff were cool and very, very chilled. Security checking peoples cool bags for alcohol was a huge negative. One of a very few hostels to which I would not return.

Thank you for your feedback. Due to our liquor licensing requirements, no alcohol can be brought onto the property. All alcohol must be consummed in our bar. On arrival everyone fills in a check in form and signs it to say they understand the no alcohol rule. Enjoy the rest of your travels.

Only stayed one night, but found the kitchen and the rooms to be very dirty. Furthermore the only signs telling you where things were, were advertisements for their packages and nomads travel shop, so when you arrive late at night its very dis-orientating.

I'm sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay with us at Nomads Noosa. When staying in large shared dorm rooms, sometimes they can seem quite messy. However if you found our rooms to be dirty, not messy, then I will bring this to the attention of our housekeeping staff. Thank you for your feedback.

Really great!! Staff were really helpful and informative. Noosa is amazing. Nomads was where everything was happening at night, so there was no need to travel to/from your hostel, the bar is wicked! then during the day it's an easy walk to the beach and national park. Clean rooms. Will definitely be back!

The hostel shuttle bus drove straight past me without stopping and I was offered a lift by a friendly driver driving for another hostel. The kitchen is dirty, small and the power points and one of the taps were broken when I stayed. Paying $28 a night for a 16 bed dorm seemed very expensive in comparison to everywhere else I have stayed along the east coast. As the bar is open to the public there was nothing to stop people walking down to the rooms and kitchen area.
