This has to be one of the best hostels I have stayed at I have a private double room and it was like staying in a hotel. We had ensuite, tv and balcony it was amazing, the staff really friendly and helpful. Free breakfast is a bonus and the location is brillant!!

The reception staff were extremly friendly. However I stayed for over a week and I found the staff that were staying/working there very "clicky" and not overly friendly towards other backpackers.

Thanks for your feedback, we're stoked you enjoyed your stay! We have had a few long termers here before they move into flats in town and have spoken to them to make sure they're not groupy - they're usually really friendly, hope the rest of your travels are awesome. Nomads Crew :)

Nomads Queenstown is absolutely the place to stay if you need a nice, decent, and safe place to stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone to this place without any hesitation! The staff members are so friendly, who literally make your day, and should you require any information on where to visit, just approach them, they definitely know the place! Two thumbs up!

Relatively new, big, high quality hostel located in the middle of the center. Relatively many youngsters, but they are kept pretty tight. Every night has different activities with the Pub Crawl as a highlight. Kitchen feels a little bit too small for the number of guests.
