Very central location to all the attractions.
Gihan De, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Not really what we class as a hotel room, no chairs to sit on, no counter space in the bathroom, no suitcase stand. Was close to the action, but horrendously loud at night, hence the complimentary ear plugs, not sufficient to drown out the noise until 2:am. Would not stay there again.
Chrissie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent staff, great location, was able to walk to every destination we needed to go to. Nomads and Queenstown is amazing! Highly recommend for first time visitors 🤗

Sawa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rachael is very friendly, welcoming and very pleasant to interact with. This place was perfect for our needs and the amenities (large shared kitchen, couches next to fireplaces, sauna, etc.) were the icing on the cake. Thank you, Nomads!

James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value for the money. Clean. Safe. Convenient
Klara, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location with street parking in front of hotel. This is more of a hostel/backpacker hotel. Can be loud at night due to bars/clubs across the street and behind the building. Only like a minute walk to the lake and maybe 5 minutes walk to the main street. Price is good and has a central kitchen if you like to cook your own meals (can be crowded at times)
Pao-Ting, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good place. City centre so all the local areas are walking distance
