Just arrived in Australia and went to Nomads Westend. I got a free ride from the airport as stayed longer then 3 nights so good start. I walked in to a hostel full of amazing staff these guys rocked and so friendly especially at 7am in the morning!! Rooms are standard size and basic but have all you need with... More

I've done a lot of travel in different places in the world and have a fair bit of experience with hostel. This one was not the best I stayed at. The room were too small for the amount of bed they had. We barely had space for our backpack. The bathroom was also fairly small and not the cleanest. I... More

I do frequent (once every couple months) trips to Sydney central, and being el-cheapo when it comes to backpacking I have learned to tolerate all manner of things (rooms that smell like feet, cockroaches etc.) just so I don't have to pay $150+ a night for a double room. So imagine my surprise when I come across a room in... More

I have stayed at a lot of different hostels in Australia while backpacking and this was by far the worst! Me and my boyfriend stayed in a 6-bed dorm one night, and ended up sharing it with 8 guys that were sharing 4 beds by sleeping in shifts. The door to the toilet didn't work-you couldn't close it at all,... More

Stayed here over new year for a few nights as it was one of the cheapest places in Sydney for the time of year. I was a bit unsure what I was letting myself in for after reading some of the reviews but it was really not that bad! The hostel is located right in the centre of Sydney and... More

Dirty, loud horrible hostel legs got bitten by bed bugs as the sheets had not been cleaned we stayed in a 8 bed mixed dorm with ensuite and the door to the toilet completely came off so that you couldn't use the shower or toilet in private. Reception staff were useless and one night some random slept in the bed... More

I unfortunately have to agree with most of the reviews regarding this hostel as it was not as sanitary as I would have liked, especially for the cost. The sheets did smell odd and I questioned whether thay have been washed or not. The smell of mould was by far the worst aspect as this is not just an inconvenience,... More

We booked a double room. Turned up and we left within 20 mins. We inspected the room and found. *A microsmall room * mould smell *windows brown * could not open windows to airate *thick line of dust around the room * a used tissue behind the bed. *stained matress AVOID

Being a backpacker on a budget and travelling alone I booked into the 32 man dorm in nomads westend. I thought this would provide a good opportunity for me to meet more people and give me more chance of making friends. On arrival the reception was fairly busy with one woman behind reception (who I later found out was called... More
