About Nomads Sydney
Nomads Sydney is a backpacker hostel on Kent Street in the CBD, run by Nomads World Hotels, which is based in the same building. It's two minutes on foot from Darling Harbour and Qantas Credit Union Arena, and Town Hall station, with trains and buses to Bondi and the stadiums, is directly across the street. The Scary Canary, the hostel's own bar, serves lunch and at night runs drink specials, DJs and events for guests and locals. Nomads takes group bookings for schools, sporting teams and hens and bucks parties, and the Sydney group page advertises a free stay for hens and bucks, with details on enquiry. For a stag or hens party, Nomads says it will give the group whole dorms so nobody shares with other guests. Groups of six or more need the hostel's approval, and group stays are quoted on enquiry. The hostel can arrange full catering, and the bar offers lunches, dinners and function packages for social groups. Rooms include 4-bed deluxe dorms with their own ensuite, lockers, swipe-card access and air conditioning, 6-bed dorms, a 2-share deluxe ensuite room and private king rooms with an ensuite, TV and daily servicing. Linen is supplied, and there's a communal kitchen, TV room, laundry, free wifi, luggage storage and 24-hour reception. The house rules are worth knowing before booking. Alcohol can't be drunk in the rooms, so drinks happen at the bar. Guests must not disturb others, or they can be asked to leave. Guests must be 18 or over, and shared rooms normally require an international passport unless the hostel has given written approval in advance.
