I did not enjoy my stay at Nomad for the following reasons.
1) The place is run down. Lighting is very poor in the room, only a dim yellow orange lantern in the middle of the room. Wallpapers are peeling. Chairs in the common area has cushions with exposed sponges. Disintegrated floor mat at front door. Missing hostel signboard.
2) The sound insulation between rooms is non existent. You can hear the person talking even when he/she is speaking with normal loudness. You will hear people using the hair dryer. You will hear doors closing and opening.
3) There are times there are NO communal slippers to change into. I would assume that the hostel would have as many slippers as there are beds in the hostel. Apparently not, my family (3 of us) had to go barefoot.
4) Double decker bed has an inconvenient ladder to climb up.
5) Poor designs/layout. Some doors open outward and some open inwards. You can easily be hit by opening doors if the door swings outwards.
Steps in the private room section walkway (probably for drainage) is quite irritating and can be dangerous. They should have leveled the whole walkway instead of creating steps.
Lighting of private room section walkway is controlled by switches. ANYONE can have access to it. Common areas should stay lit since people may use the toilet at night. There were at least 2 instances during my stay in which the walkway was pitch black in the middle of the night. It is dangerous to walk without lighting and the presence of steps makes it worse.
6) Shampoo and Body wash ran out. Either some inconsiderate tenants had used up a ton of shampoo and body wash after the morning cleaning, or the morning cleaner did not check to see if the shampoo and body wash needs replacement.
7) I know there is more but I cant remember.
Pros for the place
1) Decently location. Cross the Sumida River and you are at Asakusa Station. Walk another 5 mins or so you can reach the Asakusa and Sensoji.
2) Host is responsive.
I personally would not want to stay at this place again if i can help it.
If you are looking at purely money, location, and purely just to have a roof over your head. This place might be for you.
Your mileage may vary. Good luck.
