Hostel Overview

Nomads Sydney is in the Sydney CBD (Central Business District). It is 2 minutes’ walk from the famous Darling Harbour and several cafes, bars and nightlife options. ICC Sydney (International Convention Centre Sydney) is 10 minutes walk away.

Trains and buses to Bondi Beach, the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and ANZ Football Stadium stop just across the street at Town Hall Station. The historic Rocks precinct, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House are a 15-minute bus ride away.

The Scary Canary is Nomads Sydney’s local watering hole where backpackers and locals meet. It serves a good quality lunch menu and by night, the bar offers drink specials, DJs and events such as a silent disco, beer pong, bingo and a pool competition. There are trivia nights and pub crawls as well. Complimentary daily pancakes are served for a limited time in the morning and pasta lunch is served on Wednesdays.

If booking an airport shuttle service externally, guests can provide the property with their receipt and they will receive a $15 refund. A partial airport shuttle refund will be given to guests staying for 3 nights or more.

“Great location and help and advices from Bridget from reception was the highlight of my stay”

10.0

11 Feb 2025

I liked the location of the hostel the most and the fact that it has girls only area. Also help and recommendations from Bridget at reception desk was something I really appreciated. She notified me about everything even before I asked and she is very professional but so friendly and kind at the same time and she’ll help you with any question or issue you have regarding your trip in Australia. That was really a highlight of my stay and it made my experience with staying at Nomads Sydney hostel great and I’d like to stay there again!

“Really good”

7.0

10 Feb 2025

The room was very modern. The bathroom was split into 3 sections. The sink, toilet, and shower were all individually accessible which when sharing with multiple people is a fantastic design choice. The fact there were privacy curtains and lockable luggage drawers, which were really big. They provided breakfast for an additional fee. There was air-conditioning that worked really well and an additional pedestal fan. There was a social area, multiple vending machines, and a lanundry floor. There was also a kitchen with fridges and pantry storage for you to use. Really well thought through design.
