Stayed here on 2 separate occasions a year apart, and both times for just over a week. Got to say, as with some of the other newer large Nomads, such as Nomads Queenstown, they are very well organized, as in the check in staff, cleaning of the rooms etc. The facilities are top notch, very good toilets and showers, kitchen...

Good point: Clean rooms. Actaully managed to get some sleep at night. Staff seemed very well organised. Bad points: Too expensive, not much going on, couple of dudes walking around with their tops off showing their tattoos giving people an awkward eye, possibly the worst pool table ive ever seen in my life, there was a serious collection of stains...

I stayed at Nomads in 2010 and it was nothing special. Just a big clinical hostel with no atmosphere. My stay in 2013 was a lot better, the people seemed nicer - it was easy to make friends. There are daily activities like "walk to the lighthouse" or quizzes which is a great way to meet people if you are... More

This has to be one of the best hostels I have stayed at! It was lots of fun and very central! It's full of backpackers who are all friendly and up for fun. There is something organised everyday which makes it easier to chat with others and meet other travellers. They have a great travel desk who are always willing... More

Do not stay here if you want to be able to relax in the evenings or if you don't like loud drunk people! Very noisy and from 8 pm each night it's basically impossible to sit anywhere in the common room as everyone's playing drinking games and taking up all the room, staff were friendly, toilets and showers were always...

This hostel is so new and the location is perfect so really can't fault it. Seen quite a few bad reviews that I really don't understand, the rooms were spacious enough and had little lockers available for valuables, the bathrooms aren't en suite but they're pretty big and so modern so not really an issue, kitchen is pretty big with...

This place was a pretty fun place to stay. As it was raining the whole time I was in Byron Bay (which was absolutely devastating), the entire trip was not so bad as it was fun just hanging around the hostel. They organize party nights at different bars almost daily I think as well as activities in the common room.... More

Loved my stay here, great location, big spacious dorm rooms, plenty of clean toilets/showers, comfy beds, great staff and entertainment/drinking game in the common room. I would recommend anyone stay here when they visit Byron Bay. Byron itself is amazing!! Gorgeous beach, and super-cool surfer vibe to the place. Make sure you make a trip to Nimbin.
