Nice and close to town, but the duvet has some blood in it. It's very disgusting. Will post some photos of it. They would have changed the duvet cover and seen the blood but didn't do anything about it. It's very disgusting.

This place is whack lol -> they make you download an app to use as a room key which is totally fine and limits having to use key cards but the app has the world's longest delay in actually opening the doors and is really finicky to use!! The room had some kind of mold in it as we both were pretty congested and had a hard time breathing during our stay. There was only one bathroom stall and one shower for our side of the floor (probably like 20 people??). In addition the mattress and sheets were stained and funkyyyy. The staff were super nice tho and it was fairly affordable, but I think unless I was broke as I would pay to stay in a hotel next time hehe!

The staff are very helpful and the rooms are clean and tidy . The shower facilities are good with hot water . This is my second stay and would recommend to stay in the female only dorms as I felt very safe travelling as a sole female traveler. The elevator are out which is my only negative but due to required maintenance that’s not the staff fault . They are very helpful in helping you with getting your luggage to your room . Would def stay again. great location and activities within the hostel are well rounded and accommodate all

Nomads Sydney - Hostel is in an unbeatable location—walking distance to trams, ferries, and trains, as well as Chinatown, eateries, the aquarium, botanical gardens, parks, and the Opera House. The staff, mostly travelers working for their stay, are friendly and helpful. The hostel organizes weekly activities announced via an app and intercom. This keyless hostel requires the app to unlock rooms and communicate with the front desk. The spacious kitchen is well-equipped with cookware, stovetops, microwaves, toasters, and blenders. There are three large refrigerators with a labeling system, cleaned weekly. Free filtered water is available at the front desk. Bathrooms are basic and not always well-maintained, sometimes running out of toilet paper—though the app makes it easy to request replacements. The dorm-style setup is the main drawback. Beds lack privacy screens, are squeaky, and some linens had stains (though mine were clean). I stayed in the all-female dorm, which was quieter and included a vanity with free hair dryers and straighteners. These rooms are on the 4th floor, avoiding noise from the attached bar. While not luxurious, it’s an affordable, well-located stay that gets the job done.

Staff and checking was awesome. They even upgraded me to a good room. I would be happy to stay here next time too as it is very convenient to move around. Downside - Broken fixtures in bathrooms and loud doors. Elevator is being fixed which was not ideal for me to walk 3 stairs after running a gruel marathon ( 5 floors to kitchen) Rest else, great work team and loved my stay here.
