Nomads Sydney

The best part is the location. Unfortunately the remaining details are lacking. Metal bunk beds were very noisy and unstable. Sheets were clean and comfy. I slept on the top bunk bed and unfortunately had no power plug to charge my stuff. Couldn't find lockers in the room, but also didn't look for long after the first night before booking another place to stay. There were large metal drawers underneath the bottom bunk bed which I believe were supposed to hold out stuff, but I wouldn't keep my clothes or bags there as it was very rusty. Aircon worked fine and temperature was pleasant. There are no alternative lighting to the ceiling lights so at night if people are asleep you either use your phone (at this point with no batteries) or try your luck in the dark. That was the ok part, and now comes the not as good one. I had trouble checking (11pm), the staff took a few 20 mins to fix the issue and after asking me the same questions 6-7 times (as they didn't know what to do) they had to ask another staff for help. The second person just wanted to enjoy the party next door (mee too!). Unfortunately bathrooms were dirty or lacked toilet paper on the night and morning I was there. I understand I didn't give the hostel much opportunity to change my mind before fleeing the place, but my friends continued there and didn't have much positive points to share. I understand the vibe of a party hostel is to just enjoy and relax and it is my mistake too for trying, but no toilet paper at 8am and the black mold and pee smell in the showers were a bit much for my hostel vibes. Cleanliness is the bare minimum, I believe. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend. But the linked bar next-door is very good.
