Great hostel, very nice rooms and common rooms is awesome. Location is prefect as everything is just a short walking distant away.

Clean, secure hostel with friendly staff. Bars behind the hostel play music loudly until 3am and it was impossible to get any sleep before 3am. The hostel offer free earplugs but had none available when I asked.

Nicest hostel I have stayed in by far. Bathrooms were very modern and vert clean, bedrooms a little on the small side but very comfortable. Friendly staff - great deals on activities. Definitely recommend to anyone going to Queenstown, and I will definitely be booking again with Nomads.

Can not find any faults with the best hostel I have stayed in anywhere in New Zealand. Very modern, very clean, very fantastic. Full of young people doing their own thing in the adventure Capital of New Zealand.

The hostel was very clea, vibrant and lively. All of the staff were active and enthusiastic, which makes you feel comfortable and welcome. Sometimes people are not there to go out everynight and some more activities in the day to help people congregate might be an idea. But i certainly would not change what you are doing at present as it was awesome, just perhaps it can be added to.

Room is spacious & comfy. Except for the kitchen which is a little untidy, the hostel is generally clean & neat. Staff are great and so is the location. Security is good. Can be a little noisy at night as my room is above the bar. Overall a good place to stay.

2nd stay there, staff great, near to beach & town centre, & free all-day parking a short walk away. Handy to have en suite rooms, breakfast & tea/coffee provided. You need your own milk, but there's a handy store next door.

Had an awesome stay, really really nice for a hostel, and a great price. The only downpoint I found was the number off staff coming in and out of our room each day, it made me feel uneasy about the security of my possessions. But other than that, great! Will not stay anywhere else in Queenstown.

Nicest hostel I have ever seen, I had a twin en suite and it was more like a hotel room.

This is one of the best hostels, I have stayed in. Staff were extremely nice and helpful, especially when I asked to move rooms (nosy people in my room, don't disrupt my sleep!). Some of the nicest dorm rooms I have seen. Would definitely recommend!

Everything was great. The staff, the location, the activities. Well played guys. Of course, the place is MASSIVE so one could feel lost a little bit and I dislike rooms where you can't open a window... especially in a 8-bed male dorm, you know? But the rooms with the balconies are sweet as. There was a bed-bug scare while I was there but I didn't experience anything like that. Showers and rooms seemed clean to me!

Nomads Nomas is exactly what we were looking for: an excellent location, cleanliness, relative calm, space and good comfort. It is slightly impersonal but you don't need a hostel to have fun in Queenstown and I felt some people were having a blast at Nomads. Staff is really welcoming and helpful, they seem very professional. There are also several facilities and a comfortable common area. The main drawback is the kitchen closing so early and the drinking ban after 9pm (even for wines and beers).
