Everything was nice and clean albeit slightly older. The balcony was lovely to use on the sunny afternoon! The free earplugs were perfect to block out the rowdy partygoers downstairs!

Not really what we class as a hotel room, no chairs to sit on, no counter space in the bathroom, no suitcase stand. Was close to the action, but horrendously loud at night, hence the complimentary ear plugs, not sufficient to drown out the noise until 2:am. Would not stay there again.

Rachael is very friendly, welcoming and very pleasant to interact with. This place was perfect for our needs and the amenities (large shared kitchen, couches next to fireplaces, sauna, etc.) were the icing on the cake. Thank you, Nomads!

Fantastic location with street parking in front of hotel. This is more of a hostel/backpacker hotel. Can be loud at night due to bars/clubs across the street and behind the building. Only like a minute walk to the lake and maybe 5 minutes walk to the main street. Price is good and has a central kitchen if you like to cook your own meals (can be crowded at times)
