I was impressed with how clean quiet and high tech this hostel was. I was even able to rent a towel and do many things from the app they use for all guests. It is right in the middle of everything. Great location. Staffed 24/7 made me feel safer than the ones who don't have someone watching the door at night. Would love to return to this one someday!

For a backpacker hotel, it was brilliant . I had one night during NY , so this was all I could get. I asked for a Female only room and they catered for this perfectly. Secure, Private and with its own bathroom. It was a few days after NY, so it was VERY NOISY at night, but what can you expect ..it right in the heart of Queenstown

Reasonable deal in an expensive town
I don't enjoy staying in Queenstown because everything is so expensive, but the en-suite rooms at Nomad's Backpackers are a reasonable price for the area, and provide you with your own private bath, a balcony, and a mini-fridge. What they don't provide you though is hand towels, soap, or shampoo ... There is a soap dispenser, but we stayed in two different rooms a week apart, and neither of the dispensers had any soap. So bring your own.
