all night it felt like you were sleeping in the middle of a nightclub. The place was extremely noisy; you could hear people talking in the other rooms, and you could also hear everything from the rooftop. The beds were incredibly small, and I’m a small person myself. The other guests were very disrespectful, turning on the main lights all night (for long periods), showering in the middle of the night, and not even trying to be quiet. Staf was kind tho

Je n’ai pas trop aimé mon séjour à Nomads Hostel, j’avais pris le dortoir pour femmes pour être au calme mais les dortoirs sont mal insonorisés et c’est un endroit assez bruyant. Le bar/resto du rooftop est super cher pour une qualité médiocre. Absence de cours de yoga alors que c’était indiqué au planning. Je n’y retournerai pas même si dans l’ensemble l’hostel est correct et propre.

Great location. One staff did not help to take my suitcase up unfortunately. There is no chair or enough points to hang in the 6 bed female dorm. No soap in shower room. No place to hang wet clothes. They charge in Usd and set their own rate of conversion. They have 1 usd guest service charge. Looting in broad daylight.

Me quedé en una hab compartida y todo muy bien todo limpio mi cama y el cuarto en general, me cambié a una privada y en la cama había demasiados pelos que no eran de la cabeza, no pensé que fuera a estar tan sucia ya que era privada ymás cara la noche.. el personal muy atento y amable, resolvieron todas mis dudas en todo momento, la ubicación muy buena quedaban muchas cosas cerca, el soriansoriana, el oxxo, la similares, no estoy segura si volvería a hospedarme ahí

It’s boring,people don’t socialize at all,or only with there only people. I was bitten by a bedbug. Really disgusting. It’s a shame that I don’t can’t me pictures. So have fun here for the people who are going 😂

Freundliches Personal und nette Dachterrasse. Leider miefende Bettwäsche, durchlöcherte Bettwäsche, Discobeats bis nach Mitternacht, Gegend etwas fragwürdig in der Nacht, aber gut an den Busbahnhof angebunden. Friendly staff and nice roof top terrace with bar. However, very noisy at night, stinking bed linen in poor condition. Staff is generally nice. The surrounding area seems a bit dubious at night.

I paid for a private room because I was very sick and needed to sleep. Unfortunately with the restaurant located above my room, there was an unbearable amount of noise coming from above, making it impossible to sleep. It sounded like constant loud bangs, dragging of furniture, rolling bowling balls etc. And it continued til around 2am. Had I known, I would’ve booked a dorm room on lower floor as I’m sure it would’ve been quieter. Can’t recommend a private room here unfortunately.

Waardeloze ervaring. Je kunt beter op het vliegveld zitten ‘‘s nachts dan hier. Hele nacht enorme herrie! Zelfs met oordopjes. Een biertje halen of eten kan niet, want restaurant dicht, ondanks dat receptie zei van wel. Toch tot 4 uur keiharde muziek. Muren zijn van karton, je hoort alles. Daarnaast hele avond geen stromend water, konden niet douchen of naar het toilet. Tenslotte gaan ze slordig om met je documenten bij de receptie. Mijn ID slingerde nog rond een uur na inchecken. Niet veili...

Hébergements assez sale et bruyant par rapport à ce qui est vendu sur le site. Les chambres sont en dehors de l’auberge (?) et la piscine n’est qu’en réalité une pataugeoire. Les chambres sentent mauvais du à l’humidité et ce n’était vraiment pas propre (cheveux partout, tache sur les draps et moisissures au plafond…) Ce n’est même pas vivable pour une nuit.

I was in a 6 bed dorm. It was a good size, with big lockers, good wifi, sturdy beds, privacy curtain, charge point and lights. One of the better dorms I have stayed in. The daily free activities were a good way to meet people. Jade's daily beach excursions were good, and she was a great host. The rooftop bar and pool was very good I thought, the staff were very nice. The restaurant on the ground floor was good. The reception staff were helpful. I would definitely stay here agai...

Auberge de jeunesse de qualité, avec un bâtiment moderne et bien équipé. Plusieurs activités et sorties sont proposées chaque jour par l’équipe. Mention spéciale à Carlos pour le mini-cours de guacamole 🥑 et la sortie à vélo jusqu’au malecon (zone portuaire). La cuisine ouverte et le rooftop avec bar & piscine sont agréables ! Je recommande.

Mi socio y yo la pasamos muy bien. A pesar de que el hostal tuvo problemas de internet (ajeno a ellos) siempre buscaron la manera de solucionar ese problema ofreciéndonos ir a un cowork de otro hostal que ellos tienen totalmente gratis. Carlos que forma parte del equipo de recepción nos recibió muy bien, nos explicó cosas que hacer cerca y siempre muy servicial. Lo mismo el resto del equipo.

Das Hostel ist grundsätzlich gut und das Personal ist sehr nett! Die Küche ist gut sortiert und sauber, das hat uns gut gefallen. Das Hostel liegt in der Nähe der ADO-Busstation und ein Soriana-Supermarkt ist fußläufig gut erreichbar. Schräg gegenüber gibt es eine leckere und günstige Taqueria (besser als die Taqueria im Hostel). Die Schließfächer sind groß und die Vorhänge dunkeln gut ab. Mein einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass die Bar für ein Hostel teuer und zu laut ist!

Great hostel, very clean. Dorm beds all come with a big locker for your bags and a curtain for privacy. The dorm also had a private bathroom and private shower which was great and they gave us towels and clean sheets when we arrived. The rooftop bar is cool and does great drinks but isn’t too loud to keep you awake if you don’t go up there. Would recommend to anyone and would stay again.

Cómodo hostel en el centro, cerca de bus station, dorms amplias, baño interior, bunkbeds privadas, con cortinas, luz y conexión eléctrica, lockers amplios, y que te incluyan la toalla es un gran punto, a demás la puedes cambiar diario. El bar de la planta baja y el roof están ok. Las actividades no son tan frecuentes. Lo único que pudiera señalar como malo es el wifi, es lento, pésimo, se desconecta a cada rato, y en la planta baja la señal de teléfono es nula
