Robert, Apr 2019

Pros. Nomads Capital is excellent value for money, especially when traveling on a tight budget. And the staff are friendly and helpful - couldn't ask for better!

Cons. The couches in the common room are very tired and could do to be replaced.

9.1Wonderful
Robert, Mar 2019

Pros. There were good storage available in the dorms with lockable cupboards, bag/shoe shelves and space to hang clothes and towels.

Cons. The bunk beds were especially noisy and rattled with even the slightest movement. I had the bottom bunk and the girl on the top one was only slight, yet I kept waking up any time she moved as the whole bunk creaked and rattled.
