Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was impressed with how clean quiet and high tech this hostel was. I was even able to rent a towel and do many things from the app they use for all guests. It is right in the middle of everything. Great location. Staffed 24/7 made me feel safer than the ones who don't have someone watching the door at night. Would love to return to this one someday!

For a backpacker hotel, it was brilliant . I had one night during NY , so this was all I could get. I asked for a Female only room and they catered for this perfectly. Secure, Private and with its own bathroom. It was a few days after NY, so it was VERY NOISY at night, but what can you expect ..it right in the heart of Queenstown

Reasonable deal in an expensive town
I don't enjoy staying in Queenstown because everything is so expensive, but the en-suite rooms at Nomad's Backpackers are a reasonable price for the area, and provide you with your own private bath, a balcony, and a mini-fridge. What they don't provide you though is hand towels, soap, or shampoo ... There is a soap dispenser, but we stayed in two different rooms a week apart, and neither of the dispensers had any soap. So bring your own.

Great! Stay in double bed room
Jared at the front desk is awesome. I only wish that there was a hallway light into my room. I booked a double, thinking that I had full bath access. The baths are shared. I love that they offer cooking class as well as you get a free dinner. I'm not sure when they cook for the free dinner but when I checked in I was told that there was going to be complementary Indian food in the kitchen if I wanted some. The theme does change. You use an app to unlock your door. Unfortunately the app keeps messing up and for some reason it takes about 15 tries for my door to open There is a sona, it is usually occupied and I think it only seats two people. When I went up it was occupied by two gentlemen, so it was a tight fit for two people. There is also a backyard terrace. Parking can be a little tricky. I parked on the street in front of the hostel, and got lucky both times. They have some pretty cool stickers I purchase. Super convenient location to downtown Queenstown. Literally a 6 minute walk
