Carolina Hostels

I was pretty happy with my stay at Nomada. Bed was comfortable (though they didn't give me the lower bunk I asked for). Room had AC. Decent privacy. Property is mostly clean. Not sure the kitchen is cleaned by staff on a daily basis or if they expect guests to do that. Dorms room cleanliness depends on who is staying there. Same with how respectful they are of the space. Bathrooms were clean. Kitchen had everything in terms of cookware and utensils. Fridge should be cleaned a bit more. Overall, no complaints on this. Excellent location. You're near the airport and it's a quick walk to the beach. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. No noise even though you're right off a busy highway. I didn't use the pool that much but sat by it pretty regularly. Would be great to have more comfortable seating. Generally, there are no staff people around. I'd say the front desk is staffed 10% of the time. Staff is generally reachable by text. My sense is that they are more focused on running the bar/club than the hostel. I would recommend Nomada to friends but the rate was spendy. Top marks for having a hostel WhatsApp chat - great for getting ideas for what to do and meeting up with other guests.
