Liked: Very helpful staff Free dinner every night (makes such a huge difference to your budget when you dont have to buy dinner!), Really clean, Good social areas, Great bar, Location is great coz it's out of the city so you get a good night''s sleep but only 5 minutes to walk to the central city.

Disliked: I always like a free breakfast but I guess the free dinner makes up for that!

Liked: I liked the central location and the free snack/meal.

Disliked: The beds were so squeaky that when someone turned in their sleep, everyone in the room would wake up. Never had such noisy, unstable beds. There was also only a small window in the 10-bed dorm so it became really warm and smelly overnight.

Liked: Safe and secure

Disliked: As usual this Nomads was like staying in a night club. The music went on until the early hours which left the door in our room vibrating to the bass and nearly wobbled me off the bunk. This is the 2nd Nomads I have stayed in and it is the 2nd time I have experienced what it is like to try and sleep inside a nightclub. I'm sure this would suit some travellers who want to fall into the room drunk at the early hours but would definately NOT recommend to anyone who actually wants to sleep after a hard day.

Liked: very busy, good to meet people

Disliked: Beds were horribly squeeky and uncomfortable, noisy during nights as this is a real party hostel, facilities were not the cleanest either. All in all not worth my 55 $ I had to pay for a 6 bed dorm.
