Nomads Brisbane Hostel

I submit this review in the throws of the Covid-19 global pandemic, where Queensland is 20 days into having closed its boarders. In regards to my requested experience of and at Nomads Brisbane Hostel, I arrived a month ago today with the intention of staying here for a week at the most. As the hostel boasts, "

Great place! Clean and very comfortable environment. Staff are very helpful. Just opposite the central train station and less than 5 mins walk to Queen's street mall. Best rates. Cheap and affordable. Definitely stay there on my next leisure trip.

Run down, dirty. Shower facilities had broken tiles, wrong labels hot water. Lift not working

Horrible smell when first walking in the door, very hot everywhere including the rooms. Amenities are very old and dirty and so too is the elevator. Bed was clean and tidy however, the bunks are very unstable. Would not stay again.

Liked the location which suited me , close to central station. I used nomads for 3-4 months in between going back to Melbourne and Sunshine Coast to visit my terminally ill brother on Sunshine Coast . I regularly purchased single room or 4 bed dorm night by night so I must have spent thousands there . After first few weeks I asked staff if I could leave my big bag there as I will be back next day which was fine . I regularly extended in the morning if I knew I was staying in Brisbane that day or I checked out if there was a chance of me being called up to Sunshine Coast . Often I would hang out in common rooms like many others who had checked out and awaiting transport etc etc . I would often rebook late in evening , either coming back from coast or if in brissy . The regular night shift guy was very pleasant to deal with and knew my booking would always come through if he seen me there . The last time I stayed there I checked out ad usual and was in and out of common room through out day . I didn’t end up making a booking that night as I was told about a 24 hour Internet cafe so I decided to work there for the night . I had to come back to my bag after midnight to get a SIM card , which took 2 mins then I left . Seems a couple of the ani Australian staff members didn’t like this and felt need to get me banned by the manager . I was not told , back on sunny coast a couple days and rebooked and found out trying to check in . Spent 4 k at that place - lovely

Great location, and pleasant staff. Good value for the money. Complicated code system to open room, especially tricky to enter in the dark! But would stay here again.

Location is great , some staff are awesome Some of the English ones have massive problems with aussies

Great location , old heritage building so understand cannot fix many things . Very dirty at times Some very rude staff who seem to hate Aussies Some great staff members Aswell

Nomad's was a lot cozier than I expected! I love the old school elevator and the shared bathrooms were very clean. The location and surroundings are incredible as well!

Friendly and helpful staff. Room was advertised as a single room with twin bed but had a small single. Nothing else in room at all (Jug, TV, No towels etc)
