The location of Nomads is great, walking distance to any location within St Kilda, with excellent transport links to the Western Suburbs and to Melbourne CBD and beyond. The price of the rooms was very low considering the quality provided. I stayed/worked here a few years ago, and the amenities have only improved since then. I rather liked the digital key situation, although the option of a physical key card would be nice for those who don't like bloat on their smartphones. The events put on in the bar are excellent as always.
The bed was a bit soft, but that's just down to taste, and while the soundproofing to downstairs was excellent, between rooms could be improved, and to the roof was rather lacking - you can hear all of the HVAC and water heating units going on the roof, so Noise cancelling headphones made the nights go a lot smoother.

Staff always available, friendly and very helpful. They helped me to get a sim card for my phone and print out my cv. Every person has a locker in their room. Thereās a storage in the basement for big luggages. Washing machine and drier available for 5$ each. In the kitchen thereās a lot of room to store your food also in the fridges. Fun events are organized almost every night to help people socialize. The en suite bathroom is cleaned every day. Common areas are clean and spacious. Good location, 5 minutes walk to St Kilda Beach and 35/40 minutes tram to the city centre.
In the en suite bathroom there wasnāt any piece of furniture to place our stuff on and the floor flood when showering, but it dried pretty fast. The toilet seat was broken. The room floor is vacuumed once a week.

Staff were reakly great and always ready and available to help. I aporeciated the breakfasts that were provided though I did not take advantage of them all days
Having 1 toilet and 1 shower in 1 dorm for 10 people is just not enough. The shower and the toilet were also in the same room so if someone was in the shower there was effectively no toilet. Perhaps a limitation of the existing building - or perhaps current dorms could be converted to shower/toilet facilities . Expensive perhaps that the building is generating a lot of income. I moved after 3 nights because of this and have booked 6 nights in another hostel

Thoroughly enjoying my current stay here! Clean facilities, ensuite bathrooms in every room and the rooms generally feel pretty spacious. Lots of social events running throughout the week so there's always plenty to do! (Party bingo, beer pong and trivia to name a few!). Free breakfast every morning is definitely a highlight - shout-out to Dominique for making delicious pancakes! š„ All of the staff are really friendly and chatty- Ronnie from reception is always super lovely and chatty whenever I walk past and made me feel incredibly welcome whilst checking in! āŗļø Definitely worth a stay here whether you're looking to stay short or long term ā„ļø

I loved my stay at Nomads - it is one of the best hostels I have ever been to! The location is great; there is a bus stop right outside and a tram stop round the corner which makes it very easy to travel into the city centre. There is also a Main Street behind the hostel with multiple cafes, restaurants and a supermarket. In the hostel, the beds are comfy and rooms are spacious and clean. As a solo traveller it is nerve wracking trying to meet people but I have found it very easy because it is such a sociable hostel. There are events hosted daily at the bar such as bingo and trivia which makes it super easy to chat to new people. All of the staff are very welcoming and genuine and will stop whatever they are doing to help you!! Anita and Ronnie in particular on reception are always smiling and have been so helpful with any queries. If you need any help booking a trip up the East Coast, speak to Emma and Oscar at Happy Travels on the ground floor of the hostel - they are very patient and friendly and talk you through different options to suit you. I would recommend this hostel to anyone!

Private bathroom for each room, friendly people and very social vibe, our room was always clean.
Itās a party hostel so itās loud ag night but I expected that from all the reviews - bring your earplugs. Breakfast is very basic and the same every day but itās better than no breakfast at all! You canāt control the ac in your room so it gets either too cold or too warm and you always need to contact reception.

Great staff, especially Luke. Give that man a pay rise. I have to say, Luke's check-in performance was the highlight of our stay! Move over, stand-up comedians, we've got a new star in town! Luke not only checked us in swiftly, but he did it with such flair and enthusiasm that I half expected a drumroll and confetti. His helpfulness reached superhero levels - I'm pretty sure he could find a needle in a haystack blindfolded. Need extra towels? Luke's got you. Want insider tips for the city? He's your guy. Need a recommendation for dinner? Luke practically moonlights as a culinary critic. And let's not forget the bar! If Luke were a drink, he'd be a mix of charm, wit, and a dash of mischief. In short, Luke turned what could have been a regular check-in into a sidesplitting, unforgettable experience. Move over, world, because Luke's in town, and he's checking guests in like a rockstar. Bravo, Luke, Bravo! š¤šø

Great events and social atmosphere and central location for st kilda. Bingo was a lot of fun! They have happytravels there to help with onward travel
No plug sockets by beds, lockers only cater for small/thinner locks so take a smaller lock. Painting of corridors/doors going on when I was there so it was a bit of a mess. No real social areas except the bar if you want a night away from drinking

Great location . Comfortable double private room. I choose this backpackers for my 18 year old daughter who was travelling alone based on previous reviews that said it was ideal for solo travellers. She was able to meet people easily and said that both the staff and the quests were super friendly and she felt very safe. The party atmosphere helped š
