Manage your Expectations

Didn't even get to stay. Was totally let down by the images online and I wasn't even expecting much. Just incase you're thinking of having a peaceful sleep on the cheap - forget about it. They have a rule of no parties, but don't fear, the hostel is attached to a bar that turns into a loud nightclub! Parking is a nightmare and when you say something about it they say \"There's street parking\" - there's also drunk patrons on the street, I'd rather not. They will talk about everything but a refund. Clearly a trap for backpackers that don't expect much and have nothing to lose when it comes down to it.

Too much noise and bed not comfortable.

Strict minimum in the room but everything you need. But the beds are not comfortable. Bunk beds very dangerous. We put the top mattress on the floor. We did not sleep well at all. People talking outside until 4am without any consideration of others! Too expensive.

I enjoyed staying here. Bed was comfortable, rooms were big, decent sized lockers, and good facilities. The most annoying part about the hostel is only having one en suite shower and no shower block when a lot of people are coming back / leaving for K’Gari and the sink being in the shower room rather than the toilet. Only one other toilet always accessible on the site and sink was often blocked and not the cleanest. Some of the bar staff could be quite rude, other staff were good and helpful. Nice location with a little high street close by and near to the Greyhound. Food and drinks at the bar were expensive. But generally clean and well maintained, good atmosphere and everything you need for your stay.

The toilet area walls had black spots between the tiles and the shower room walls seemed dirty. I think the staff does a great job with daily cleaning, but the hostel needs more of a deep cleaning.

Our stay was really nice and the place well kept. But this changed when we were checking out and had to strip our sheets off the bed to take to reception. When doing this we found black mould over the mattress and I’m not talking about a little bit.
It’s was truly disgusting and after seeing that, I think Nomads needs to step up and get on top of this as it’s not good enough for how much they charge for a backpackers.

Location was convenient to buses, walking , shops for groceries, eateries. Staff were extremely accommodating, friendly, housekeepng / and front desk were quick to help us out where we needed assistance. Thank you for this! It was a little lively outdoors socially until the early hours of the morning so earplugs were necessary for us light sleepers. Otherwise, the room was clean and bright and bed very comfortable. We had a very nice stay in the area for our first trip here. We enjoyed meeting lovely travellers both locally and from farther abroad .

Recommend the private rooms at Nomads. Shared bathrooms are clean, with towels and soaps provided which was hugely appreciated. The bed was comfy and all facilities, including aircon were reliable. Feels secure & convenient with the access key being via the app. Staff were friendly & helpful and the atmosphere felt sociable during our brief stay. Overall would recommend, thank you!

No social distancing or sanitisation in place other than a hand sanitiser at the front desk. Room absolutely stunk. I know it’s a youth hostel but there’s a certain level of responsibility everyone needs to be taking in these times. Very unfair to the Australian economy and everyone you are putting at risk. Entire place stinks from the piles of rubbish.

Not a bad call for your stay in Noosa.

Decent bed. Great showers. Lockers are a good size. Not enough plug sockets. Floor space is scarce for a 10 bed dorm. Night activities are good, lacking much beyond that. Noosa Junction is a minutes walk away for easy food and shopping. The beach and the national park are a bit of a walk away.
Got a mixed feeling from the staff. Some spot on. Others mopey.

Decent value

Beautiful area, good location. Parking lot is absolutely terrible, I didn’t realize there was parking on the back of the rooms until I’d left so I actually parked in the free parking lot at the bottom of the hill. Rooms were decent and clean... definitely a party hostel with things going on nightly. Someone from the hostel actually came into our room to encourage us to go to the bar, which was weird...

Staff weren’t particularly friendly, rooms weren’t particularly clean and it was very much a party hostel, so it wasn’t particularly peaceful. Bunk beds squeaked every time someone moved during the night. “Air con” wasn’t effective, so it was hot & sweaty round the clock. Rooms DID have lockers & there were outdoor eating areas available. 5 min walk to shops. 10 min walk to bus station. 20 min walk up a BIG hill to Hastings St & beach. You get what you pay for.

Not bad, but a bit shabby.

Your usual backpacker hostel, though kitchen was fairly grimey.
Upon return from the frasier island trip, it might've been nice if we had all been put in the same rooms together instead of being woken up at 6am by the next group leaving from our room.

Strip Club Night just outside the room? Seriously?

Nomads - time to raise your game.Noise insulation a must if you persist with the Club all-nighters next door. And drop the sexist advertising - it is boring and a serious turn-off to at least half your customers. Convenient location. Shame.

Perfect for partying backpackers

I stayed a few nights at Nomads Noosa before and after a trip to Fraser Island and while it wasn't unpleasant, you get what you pay for. The rooms are clean but offer no air-con or storage. You can hire lockers for your valuables although during my visit they weren't working properly. Staff are friendly, there are plenty of cheap drink and food offers and the location is very convenient for both town and the beach. It's perfect for young travellers looking to make new friends and party. This means, that as a more mature traveller, you might find it a little loud.
