Liked: Good kitchen, tv room, sauna etc.. Bunk beds were very new, not creaky and comfortable. The reading lights for each bed are a great idea!

Disliked: Bit of a party place. The no drinking after 9pm is enforced, but if you don't go out, expect to be woken up as everyone comes back.

Liked: The location is great. The building itself looks really new and the (female) dorm I stayed in was pretty big, at least there was more than enough space for all our bags. The beds are also quite good. I also really liked the free breakfast and dinner.

Disliked: Mostly that is was really noisy. All the surrounding cafés play really loud music almost all night long. This is not nomads fault, but even with the balcony door shut the music was still really loud (but at the reception you can get free earplugs). The ensuite bathroom wasn't that clean, but I've seen worse. The kitchen is too small for the amount of people staying there.

Liked: Location couldn't be much better. Center of town surrounded by restaurants and pubs. Beach within sight of the front door. Nightly free meals, including BBQ on the beach. Internet decent, but expensive (though expense is normal for NZ)

Disliked: Were not informed that Christmas Day much would be closed in town including additional alcohol sales restrictions.

Liked: Everything about the hostel was how hostels worldwide should aim to be- clean, fun, affordable, with awesome staff and a great understanding of backpacking needs. Free food every night is a bonus, and a central location close to everything (although it's hard not to be in Queenstown!) makes for the best hostel I've stayed at in 6 months travelling SE Asia and Australia.

Disliked: Honestly? Nothing. I can't find a single thing to fault with the place.

Disliked: Found most of the staff really nice and helpful but a few were a bit rude and thought they were above the rest of the people in the hostel because they worked there.
