The bar staff charged me more for my beer than my friends were charged. No idea why. When I questioned it they snapped back "that's what it is, do you want it or not?" Possible racism? I am a chinese/ english, young female traveller. Also, the worst night's sleep I've had ever. I was in a 4-bed ensuite room with... More

This is a great hostel. Stayed in 4 bunk female dorm with an ensuite. Small room but no smaller than usual hostels I have stayed in. Nice and tidy with modern enough amentities. TV room/lounge on our floor. Bar in the same building with cheap drinks :) Great location... just round the corner from Cuba St. Would stay there again!

We ended up booking a 10 bed dorm room online a few days before we got to Wellington. Once we got here, they ended up putting us into a family room (a queen bed with 3 singles) instead! The whole place was very clean and noise was kept to a minimum. You even get a free nightly meal down at... More

We've stayed at this Nomads a couple of times and would definitely go back. The rooms can be fairly small but we've been 'upgraded' both times into rooms with smaller dorms so can't complain. There seem to be lots of bathrooms so not having ensuite really isn't a problem. I never had to wait for a shower/toilet, or even saw... More

I stayed here with my parents for two nights in a king room. The staff was really friendly and it wasn't a problem at all to put an extra bed in there. The room was nice and had a clean and spacious bathroom. We haven't used the kitchen or the lounge area, but I know that they offer a free... More

Having stayed in Nomads in Queenstown, which was a great hostel, I was left disappointed with this one. I was in a 4 bed dorm and found it to be quite claustrophobic. The only window looks out into a central external lightwell. Shower rooms were clean, but the noisy nearby nightclub didn't give me a good nights sleep, and I... More

Coming from South Africa and not knowing New Zealand very well, i found Nomads Wellington to be an excellent base from which I could explore the country. Arriving from the hellish SA-NZL flight at 12:30pm, I was helped quickly and efficiently and soon found my comfortable bed to catch up on some sleep. There is a good range of rooms,... More

It´s in principal a nice hostel, good location, only 15 min. walk from the ferry and 2 min. from Isite/city centre. It´s convienent with elevator and 24h staff. It´s just very big and commercialised. The room also had a funky smell and only a small window to let some fresh air in.

We stayed here in a double room for about 2 weeks while we searched for jobs. One member of staff was nice and helpful but the rest seemed uninterested. The kitchen was small and almost unusable. It is in a good central location and we recommend it for people on a budget.

A good place for a family. The twin rooms very good value. The staff are lovely and friendly if not a bit busy at times (not their fault). We had one complaint which was something outside the hotel's control and the hotel sorted us out in a very friendly and co-operative manner. Would definately go back with the family.
