Nomads Queenstown Hostel

Being in the city center, it's very convenient to get around, and close to the InterCity bus and airport shuttle stops. It's also about a 10-minute walk to places for tours like Milford Sound. I'd say the location is excellent! The room itself was very clean, and even though all the beds were occupied, the other guests in the room were quiet, which made it easy to sleep. The building itself also looked very clean from the outside. However, it was a shame that there were no power outlets near the beds, no hairdryer in the bathroom, and the common areas were incredibly dirty – though that might have just been bad luck with the other guests staying at the time. Considering the price, if you can overlook these issues, it's probably worth staying. I'd consider staying here again.

There weren't enough power outlets for the number of people, and they were placed too high, which was inconvenient as I had to leave my iPhone and Apple Watch on the floor to charge.

This hostel is unfortunately located directly above a bar. Some men were yelling and screaming there until 4 AM. The kitchen was sometimes clean, sometimes dirty. The rooms don't have curtains, and the outlets are far from the beds. Towels are available for $5. I think there are better options out there; I was glad to only be staying for one night.
