After a bit of exploring we found where we were booked, and it was crummy to say the least ##### Spaceus This review was submitted before 2018 and can't be verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dotti 21 Jan 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Substandard Accommodation/3rd World! Our group of 6 girls stayed in an 8 bed dorm on 31 Dec 2013\. We have stayed in numerous hostels both internationally & nationally. This one takes the cake! We encountered the following: CLEANLINESS: I can't comment on the kitchen (but on appearance, it appeared very grotty). However, the room we were given was disgusting. - The floors were disgusting. Under the beds were covered in dust & dirt along with various pieces of rubbish. - The bins in the bedroom & bathroom hadn't been emptied for who knows how long. The guy on reception, claimed the rooms had been cleaned & proceeded to empty the bedroom bin. - The surfaces were covered in dust & dirt. - There was left over products ie shampoo, soap etc in the shower. Not to mention hair, mould etc - There was also urine on the toilet seat. - There was a large louvre missing from the only window. - The furniture was falling apart, with at least one cupboard door just placed inside the unit. - The airconditioner had what appeared to be faulty wiring with duct tape covering it. The airconditioner was coin operated, which did not work to start with. We were advised it would be complimentary after 8pm. When this did not take place, we were told it would be 9pm. Upon arriving back to the room at 1.30am, it still was only operational via coin deposit. We were not going to set our alarms hourly to keep the airconditioner running! With the missing louvre, it almost defeated the purpose anyway. This was in the middle of summer! SECURITY: They sleep in the dorms like the guests do. If there's an issue, the after hours number doesn't get answered. We were lucky 2 other guests knew which room the security guy was in (asleep). On a side note, their website for Nomads esplanade, is very misleading. If you look at the photo gallery, it shows a swimming pool. This place does not have a swimming pool. It shows lovely clean rooms, not so. It says the rooms are airconditioned, but there is no mention that it is coin operated! The Hostel refuses to refund our money. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Der er rent osv., men tydeligt at se at det er billigt. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Hermann, K 13 Mar 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### unzumutbar Ich konnte dort nicht übernachten, Zimmer gesehern, dunkles Loch, laut etc. gleich ein anderes Zimmer gebucht, auf meine Kosten. Eine Übernachtung in einem solchen LOCH ist schlimmer als ein Gefängnisaufenthalz in der Schweiz. So etwas müsste amtlicherweise verboten werden ##### Hermann ### 4/10 Poor #### Johan, Skärholmen 2 Feb 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nomads hostel Esplanadel i Cairns - centralt läge Vandrarhemmet har det bästa läget i Cairns. Personalen i receptionen var väldigt serviceminded att ge information. Bra frukost som ingår. Rummens standard och renlighet var inte så bra. Vill man ha bra läge som viktigast kan jag rekommendera. ##### Johan ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 20 Jan 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Nomads Esplanade Hostel Zimmer war ok, auch wenn es sehr nach Chlor gerochen hat. Das Hostel hatte eine super Lage mitten im Getümmel der Strandpromenade. Von dort konnte man auch einfach zum Hafen laufen, von dem aus die Boote ins Great Barrier Reef starten. Ein Plus ist ein gratis Essen (kleine Pastagerichte und Chili con carne) bei einem Partner Restaurant/Bar und es gibt auch ein kleines Frühstück. Das Hostel wirkte im Ganzen ein wenig heruntergekommen und die Zielgruppen sind definitiv Backpacker und junge Leute. Dafür war es aber nicht um so viel günstiger als ein Standardhotel. Wahrscheinlich bezahlt man einen Aufpreis für die gute Lage. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### jiyeunkim, seoul 7 Jan 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very good location and convenient accommodation Excessively close to the lagoon was too good. With location close to the ferry terminal was also useful for various activities. Using a double room, but also nice and clean and the reception from early this morning until late at night anxious to ask you good. Those who daily cleaning of bins with a neat clean cleaner cleaning clear the halls and defragment fragmented sigo letting could comfortably accommodate. If he wants to or staying in the following. ##### jiyeunkim ### 4/10 Poor #### Amy 8 Sept 2011 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not impressed Apart from the location & friendliness of the staff, I was bitterly disappointed with this accomodation. The info was misleading when booked, not once did it say we would be sharing a bathroom when we booked a double room. When we got there I struggled to get my small suitcase through the room as it was that tight. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable. There were cigarette butts in the room. There was constant noise every night we stayed until the early hours of the morning even though there was a sign saying no noise after 10pm. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to family or friends. ##### Amy ### 6/10 Okay #### c 25 Aug 2011 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Bad condition but excellent location Even though this hostel was mostly dirty (walls and floor were dirty, Bed and linen was clean), I would definatley stay here again for the location alone. Its the only thing that saves this hostel ##### c ### 4/10 Poor #### Brian 23 Aug 2011 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Interesting to say the least Let me start off by saying that this was the first time I had ever stayed at a hostel and that I wanted to stay somewhere inexpensive, so I could have more money to have fun with. Being the first time staying at a hostel and the fact that I was alone, I opted to get a private room to suit my comfort level. That was a little less than double the rate of the "dorm rooms". I would also like to point out that for around the same price I got a 3 star hotel in Naha, Okinawa Japan! I'm not sure what I was expecting the place to be like but I was not prepared for what I experienced. The front desk where you check in/out is not in a lobby or even in doors, but a little enclave on the sidewalk. So you have all your bags and stuff and you're checking in with all these shops and people walking about. The staff working there were very young (perhaps to connect to their target demographic, backpackers) and came off as unprofessional. The room I stayed in was not attached to the front desk but a few shops down where there was a locked security door. The room itself was tiny, I would guess 15' x 6' maybe a little bigger, with nothing but a metal framed bed and a plastic chair. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillow they provided simply sucked. I had to buy one just be able to fall asleep (also had to buy a towel). Thankfully it was air-conditioned albeit by a noisy window unit. Overall nothing more than a place to keep your stuff safe and a place to sleep. ##### Brian ### 6/10 Okay #### popo 12 Aug 2011 #### 只有地理位置讓人無法挑剔\~ 位在海濱大道上,最熱鬧的街區,出入很方便,設備普通,但千萬不要住在靠近庭院的房間(此處大都是兩到三房的房間),因為常住客,或是團體年輕人會在庭院開音響,聊天到午夜,雖然房規有註明十點後請小聲,但我到十二點時,忍不住去前台詢問,職員跟我說他們馬上就會安靜了,到十二點半準時把音響關了,但是一群人還是聚在庭院大聲喧嘩談笑直到一兩點,連續兩晚都是如此....,所以貪圖地裡位置的人,請自備耳塞喔!! ##### popo ### 8/10 Good #### Ines 15 Mar 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Das Hotel liegt direkt an der Promenade mit vielen Restaurants und Souvenirshops. Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage. das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Die Einhaltung von bestimmten Hotelregeln sollte allerdings etwas besser kontrolliert werden, denn dann kann es auch nicht vorkommen, dass man mitten in der Nacht durch in den Pool springende Leute gestört wird. ##### Ines ### 6/10 Okay #### Anonymous 24 May 2010 Disliked: Staff & service #### 立地はエスプラネード沿いにあるので良いが、設備はよくない。 立地はエスプラネード沿いにあるので良いが、設備はよくない。 夕食は他のバーの食事券をくれるがドリンクをオーダーしないといけないし、1回試したが冷えたポテトと冷えたピザ一切れが出てきた。ちなみに受付で朝食（コーンフレーク）も夕食もあることを聞かないと教えてくれなかった。 部屋では外の音が丸聞こえなので夜中まで騒いでいる人たちがいると眠れない。朝は5時くらいから業者が出入りする音で目が覚める。 キッチンにはまともなナイフがないので自炊は殆ど出来ない。 プライベートが良かったので個室にしたが、料金に見合わない場所だった。 どうしてもエスプラネード沿いが良くてドミトリー（大部屋）でいいならここでもいい。 近隣のバックパッカーズを見に行ったがここより悪かった。 ##### Anonymous ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 20 Jan 2010 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### While the location is great, it While the location is great, it is quite hard to spot from the road. The entrance and the sign advertising Nomads is obscured from view by the awning for the restuarant next door. Walking along the pavement it's easy to spot. As part of the booking, an entree sized meal is included, however, since the kitchen is closed you are now provided with a breakfast of tea/coffee, toast and cereal. As my plans had involved dinner at Nomads and not breakfast, I was eventually provided with a $5 refund in lieu. This process was frustrating and required a great deal of 'negotiation'. I was very pleased with the rest of the acommodation provided. ##### Thomas ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 25 Oct 2011 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Noosa Harbour Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Noosa-Harbour-Resort.h4478149.Hotel-Information) > - [Aries Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Aries-Holiday-Apartments.h83398932.Hotel-Information) > - [The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Star-Grand-At-The-Star-Gold-Coast.h6921.Hotel-Information) > - [The Edge Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rockhampton-Hotels-The-Edge-Apartment-Hotel.h4313015.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Lagoon Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Blue-Lagoon-Resort.h1773107.Hotel-Information) > - [Soda Apartments by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Soda.h16219162.Hotel-Information) > - [Rydges Gold Coast Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tweed-Heads-Hotels-Rydges-Gold-Coast-Airport.h57794898.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Salzburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salzburg-Hotels.d3350.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Tangalooma Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Tangalooma-Island-Resort.h2254989.Hotel-Information) > - [The Star Residences Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Star-Residences-Gold-Coast.h72545549.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Eagle Heights Mountain Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Eagle-Heights-Mountain-Hotel.h19287204.Hotel-Information) > - [Brisbane Skytower Apartments by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > - [Chill Backpackers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Chill-Backpackers.h37147932.Hotel-Information) > - [Don Pancho by the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundaberg-Hotels-Don-Pancho-By-The-Beach.h2161531.Hotel-Information) > - [ULTIQA Burleigh Mediterranean Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-Mediterranean-Resort.h980661.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels.d6069845.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [YHA Coolangatta Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Coolangatta-YHA-Hostel.h9624261.Hotel-Information) > - [All-Inclusive Hotels near Ibiza Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ibiza-Island-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602653-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [City Backpackers HQ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-City-Backpackers-HQ.h20576485.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Ibis-Brisbane.h119509.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Noosa Backpackers Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Nomads-Noosa-Backpackers-Hostel.h3856711.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B Bath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6084496-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [BUNK Surfers Paradise - International Backpacker Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-BUNK-Backpackers-Surfers-Paradise-Hostel.h16174712.Hotel-Information) > - [LyLo Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Limes-Boutique-Hotel.h2135031.Hotel-Information) > - [Phoenician Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Phoenician-Resort.h456419.Hotel-Information) > - [Turtle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Turtle-Beach-Resort.h2649543.Hotel-Information) > - [Unit 3 Noosa Moorings, 303 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Noosaville-Hotels-Endless-Water-Views-In-Noosaville-Noosa-Heads-Unit-3-Noosa-Moorings.h38124679.Hotel-Information) ---
