The shared bathroom facilities were damaged and filthy, toilet bowls were clean.that was it. Beside the all night construction noise, some guests had no regard for others. The aircon poking through the window added to noise from outside because you couldnt close the window!! Not to mention the insects. The mattress is disgusting and needs at least a clean mattress protector if new clean mattresses can't be provided ... i was there for the impending death of a loved one and could not find a closer hotel..we just stayed out until we had to rest and then had limited respite from the kaos and filth

The location was very convinient for me as I could walk wherever I needed to go. I also appreciated the flexibility to check in and out as I arrived and left very early morning. The place itself is very old, which is fine with me but it's not looked after properly, the lift and 3 out of 4 showers can't be used and are in a VERY poor state and that's only the little part that I had access to. An old building is full of charms and tells a story, it needs a lot more care and attention than a new building otherwise it quickly becomes a ruin! I travelled the all night prior my arrival, early morning and I managed to sleep a bit on that day. But the next night was hell, I came back in my room around midnight, I had to get up at 5am to take a train, I didn't sleep much the night before so I was eager to get those 5 hours sleep. There was a huge party downstairs that lasted until very late as well as a women obviously drunk and even drugged shouting, yelling, swearing, injuring a man right in the hallway. it lasted untill very late that night.

Absolutely outdated hostel. The elevator doesn't work, the room was on the fifth floor. The room itself was tiny, no air conditioning and extremely loud. Location is very central though.

My bed was infested with bed bugs and after raising my concern with staff they didn’t seem phased. There was hair under my sheets when I arrived and dust everywhere. The location is great but that was about it.

Okay stay. Crazy expensive for what you get.. extremely dated facilities, extra noisy rooms due to the walls having open vents, dirty, old and broken facilities like bathrooms and kitchen. Cold rooms. Fantastic location, free meal and drink for everyone with booking.

Covid-19 in Brisbane ‘20
Submission of this review lands on the 36th day of the WHO declaring Covid-19 a global pandemic. And 22 days into Queensland’s boarder closure. My experience of/at Nomads Brisbane Hostel began a month ago and two days ago today. Upon booking in, I intended to stay for a week. Due to two circumstances, both extreme yet both largely unrelated (the later, however, being the boarder closure), it has become my home and for (?)… Thankfully, as my form of exercise, so far the unexpected beauty of the city has revealed itself to me thru my camera lens. Boasting 'We Beat Any Price’, Nomads is self assuredly safe within its competition. Therefore, condition wise, expect what you pay for. But in this time of global uncertainty, more importantly humanity wise, expect more. Over the month, I’ve observed it become the beaming example of a place of necessity. Considering this time last week it housed 17 guests to its 500+ beds, if management has demonstrated the odd level of anxiety, it's a relief knowing that they are human. As the staff have adjusted to changes in law that are rewriting the book of hospitality from how, only weeks ago, we knew it. But by doing so with kind yet firm measure over didactic discipline, the guests accordingly oblige - dropping the odd question where necessary. This has created a house of unity in a time of dispersion which is a credit to all concerned. I highly recommend Nomads Brisbane Hostel by the best example of the present into a readjusting future

Horrible smell when first walking in the door, very hot everywhere including the rooms. Amenities are very old and dirty and so too is the elevator. Bed was clean and tidy however, the bunks are very unstable. Would not stay again.

Liked the location which suited me , close to central station. I used nomads for 3-4 months in between going back to Melbourne and Sunshine Coast to visit my terminally ill brother on Sunshine Coast . I regularly purchased single room or 4 bed dorm night by night so I must have spent thousands there . After first few weeks I asked staff if I could leave my big bag there as I will be back next day which was fine . I regularly extended in the morning if I knew I was staying in Brisbane that day or I checked out if there was a chance of me being called up to Sunshine Coast . Often I would hang out in common rooms like many others who had checked out and awaiting transport etc etc . I would often rebook late in evening , either coming back from coast or if in brissy . The regular night shift guy was very pleasant to deal with and knew my booking would always come through if he seen me there . The last time I stayed there I checked out ad usual and was in and out of common room through out day . I didn’t end up making a booking that night as I was told about a 24 hour Internet cafe so I decided to work there for the night . I had to come back to my bag after midnight to get a SIM card , which took 2 mins then I left . Seems a couple of the ani Australian staff members didn’t like this and felt need to get me banned by the manager . I was not told , back on sunny coast a couple days and rebooked and found out trying to check in . Spent 4 k at that place - lovely

It's a great place to stay in brisbane if you want to be close to everything. It's a little bit noisy and there is sometimes a lot of people in the common areas. The building is kinda old and they could use a revamp in the showers and toilets. The staff is super nice.

I enjoyed my stay, room was clean, I got a better room than I paid for, air con was amazing, big bathroom areas, and bed was comfy. It’s an old building so i don’t expect it to be spotlessly clean and fresh looking, as long as there’s a clean bed and clean toilets/showers I am happy. I have booked to stay again!
