Rachael is very friendly, welcoming and very pleasant to interact with. This place was perfect for our needs and the amenities (large shared kitchen, couches next to fireplaces, sauna, etc.) were the icing on the cake. Thank you, Nomads!

Stayed in one of the private rooms with an ensuite bathroom. The best location, right in the heart of Queenstown a few steps from the lake. Fairly clean. As others have mentioned, it can get loud in the evenings, but they do give you ear plugs, just in case you need them. Tour bookings on site, which make it really convenient.

It's an older, well used property. Basic amenities. We didn't take advantage of the kitchen facility but looked like the young adults were getting good use out of it. Good value considering how popular the area is. We loved our small balcony.

8/10

Located in center of the city nice neighborhood. I enjoyed walking to the riverside market as well as the park area. The staff was helpful at the check in. There are rooms that the guests can eat, drink, and chat, as well as work. I stayed in the bigger room to take care of some tasks. The ambiance was comfy,!

Night club plays super loud music until about 3 am every night. Even on the top floor the sound level is way too high to really fall deeply asleep. They provide earplugs in your room which is a foreshadowing of the night to come.
