Liked: What I liked most about NoMad was the friendliness of the staff. The reception, the cleaning staff, everybody was friendly and I felt that I would have their help whenever I would want it or need it. Although I had travelled on my own, I never felt alone, as the atmosphere was really cosy.

Disliked: The thing that I don't want to remember , was the condition of the toilets and showers a specific time in the morning. Don't even want to remember it....

05 September 2010 Nicola would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the rooms as they were big and spacious

Disliked: When I got to the hostel they were trying to charge me an extra 6 pounds, if I hadn't had my booking on me I would have ended up with the extra charges (because I think on here its a special price compared to the walk up price.) I also think 6 pounds for washing is extorniate, but it was done for me so wasn't too bad really.

Liked: Cheap, was quiet when I got there, good breakfast. Quiet for sleeping.

Disliked: Was a bit further out of the centre than I thought which was fine. The beds were the most uncomfortable I have slept on in 4 months of backpacking, like every spring was poking into my back!! When I got there the man was a little bit strange, accusingly asking me if I had a booking which I did. Calmed down a bit after that though.
