Pros: Everything was very clean, modern, new, etc.. It was like a big city hotel, 6 levels building with everything you could need for your comfort! - I liked the big individual lockers in each room with charge plugs, the bed linens were perfectly clean and new. - the bathrooms at each stair were big, clean, modern, with hair dryer and straightener ! - the 2 kitchens were very wide with everything you could need to cook! Even rice cooker, Smoothie blender, etc. Everything was labeled, signed, organized and the smallest kitchen even had a walk in fridge which was great as regard as the hostel capacity ! - staff nice and welcoming, not too friendly but polite and helpful - I found the information boards area very useful and nicely done with all the informations needed about the city and the rest of the country. - there is a reading room which was highly appreciated to work or read quietly but being just next to the tv room is not a good idea cause some people are really loud! - the laundry lounge with tv, plugs, hangers and the view are really nice

Pros: Location was good, near supermarket and waterfront. Room was fine and clean. Bathroom was clean but shame some guests so dirty and left it in a state on occasions!
Cons: Mattress a bit hard. Signs to tell guests not to slam doors at all hours would be good as very noisy. If quiet time was after 22.00 then it did not work
6,0 Good
Pros: The WiFi was excellent. The beds were comfy
Cons: There were very few instructions on how everything worked. It took me 2 days to realise that I could have bought and cooked my own food.

Pros: the facilities were great on the whole. The beds were very comfortable.
Cons: the sink plug holes in the ladies bathrooms need cleaning. The building was rather hot inside so air conditioning would certainly improve this.

Cons: - the lockers for bags when you are checked out are a really good idea but shame that is so expensive.. 1 or 2$ the day or half day should be fair enough.. - the individuals bed lamps are good thing but seems to disturb other people ..even when its still early and you are reading a bit.. maybe the light is too bright or maybe it could be better with some curtains on the beds.. - the wall plugs in the rooms are not thought for several people using adaptators..and some of them are stuck against beds so useless.. - the comfort of this hostel is indisputable but if you look for friendly hostel atmosphere you will not find it there..nobody speak to each other, its too big..

7,1 Good
Pros: Central location in walking distance to all major sights. Friendly staff. Free pancake breakfast and free dinners if desired.
Cons: Not as clean as we would have liked. Toilet wasn’t clean and shower could do with a good scrub. Previous guests’ rubbish was left in the bathroom bin. Cups for tea and coffee had not been cleaned either. Towels and linen seemed clean though.
9,6 Excellent
Pros: Great location and very friendly helpful staff. Impressed by offer of free breakfast, dinner and extremely well priced drinks.
Cons: noisy from bar? Downstairs late into night. But to be fair we are much older than the usual guests staying at Nomads.

Pros: Nice courtyard, very good location, big showers but not so clean and evacuation holes of showers and sinks most of the time were clogged. Staff was nice but not so friendly Secure entrance of building and room, lifts to every floor.
Cons: The free wifi was horrible, most of the time not working and when so, very unstable and slow.. Rooms were messy, hot and humid, dirty, furniture and spaces are not well organized and thought for people to have a nice personal space. Bedrooms too hot, no air circulation even with tiny window opened. No reading light. Kitchen a bit too small, no glasses, TV room noisy and used as a corridor and always messy so hard to enjoy it.
9,1 Excellent
Pros: There were good storage available in the dorms with lockable cupboards, bag/shoe shelves and space to hang clothes and towels.
Cons: The bunk beds were especially noisy and rattled with even the slightest movement. I had the bottom bunk and the girl on the top one was only slight, yet I kept waking up any time she moved as the whole bunk creaked and rattled.

Pros: Clean and well organised, appreciated the bag storage when we got in.
Cons: The people in the room next to us were SO loud, late into the night. Also, there were a couple of staff who seemed to be more interested in messing around than in doing their jobs, while holding up the elevator.

Pros: Great location and friendly staff.
Cons: We were not told at check in that we were not allowed alcohol in our (private) room. We were aware that there was a bar there but it was not made clear that we couldn't bring our own to drink in our room. We bought some alcohol but it was taken off us. We were able to pick it up from reception at check out though.

Pros: I liked the location and the friendly staff.
Cons: I did not like that it wasn't very clean. The bathroom floors were covered in water and the showers were messy. There wasn't electrical sockets in my room and had to charge devises in the common room. The kitchen was lacking enough bowls, plates, and cutlery.

1,0 Poor
Pros: Location was fine.
Cons: They overbooked my room, sent me to another room with the squeakiest bed I've ever slept in, there were a lot of flies in the kitchen as well as a leak from the bathroom(?) upstairs. The whole place smelled dirty and old and gross with walls and doors and appliances needing repair.

Cons: Nothing
4,0 Okay
Pros: Location was great and price was very affordable. Staff was friendly.
Cons: Bathrooms were kinda of gross. The door to our room was extremely hard to close so it was very loud (same problem with the stairway door next to our room). The whole building could use some renovating.
4,0 Okay
Pros: The beds were clean and comfortable
Cons: The staff member on the front desk sent us on a wild goose chase for our parking although we had pre-booked it. The bathroom was nowhere near what the photos showed, so that was somewhat misleading.
