Nomada Hostel

A small, cozy hostel, El Nomada has a great ambiance and is nicely located for strolling around historic Asunción and its food scene. The staff are warm, friendly and very welcoming and helpful, with great advice about the local museums, restaurants and sights. I stayed in the 4-person hostel room, which worked well; other lodging included the triple bunks (9-people per room) and another few bedrooms. The hostel has a nice plunge pool for relaxing, just alongside the dining area. And, the breakfast is a nice, healthy meal including fresh fruits.

Cozy Nomad hostel with cute cats, garden and a cooling pool with a nice vibe to it. They played nice music all the time and the staff (both owner and volunteers) is super friendly and helpful. We had a spacious private room (couple), the bed was comfortable, AC made the room cool and wifi worked really good. Breakfast is pretty good and they have good prices in the bar. Shared kitchen for cooking. Just walking distance from supermarket, a few restaurants, bars and a mall. We had shared bathrooms (but there are privates ones with private bathroom as well) and that was the only thing we did not love as one of the two shared bathrooms are just at the bar (less privacy). Would stay there again and recommend! :)

Really not a good experience. I got back after a night out and the doors which require you to be buzzed in by someone were not answered. I started to panic a bit because it’s a dodgy area and felt unsafe. No one answered for 10 minutes or so and I had to climb in over a 2 metre fence. The main issue was when I explained this to the staff the next day. They told me I was waiting 2 minutes which was not true, they then didn’t say sorry. They were mean and hostile towards me. They made me feel uncomfortable for complaining and both changed and got really mean towards me. I decided to leave and go somewhere else as I had a flight the next day at 6am and didn’t want to miss it if the door was not answered. They said they would not refund me for my last night and I said that’s their decision but not good customer service. It feels like a weird environment, I sat down on a table the first day and the owner told me I can’t sit there as she is having all her friends over this evening. It was hours before they arrived, it was just to be mean she said this. It’s in a dodgy area, which is about 20 minutes walk to the centre and longer to the attractions. There were not many people there and there was no vibe / social element. There were just people remotely working. They had no activities that could offer and they told me not to bother exploring as the attractions are very crowded. Probably one of the worst hostels I have ever stayed in and I don’t recommend.

Spending a couple of weeks here. Despite the pandemic situation, it's been a very pleasant staying here. Room is super, clean and spacious. Garden is amazingly green with flowers and palms. I've seen lots of hummingbirds, and there's a pool as well. Breakfast is included and very delicious! Hosts are super cool, friendly and helpful. Location is good, center is 10mins by walk. Supermercado is a few blocks away. Highly recommend! Thanks for everything, it's been a pleasure meeting you both and staying at your place.

El lugar es muy tranquilo y perfecto para ir acompañado, ya sea por viaje o pasar el rato. El personal es muy amable, al igual que los demás huéspedes. Tienen un lugar para beber y comer, un patio trasero con piscina y varios arboles, lo que da un toque de tranquilidad.

Dentro del contexto de un paro de transportes, necesité quedarme una noche más en el hostel. Sin guaranis (moneda local) para un hospedaje extra (por no haber planeado quedarme por más tiempo en la capital). El hostel, no aceptó ningún tipo tarjetas y ningún tipo de transferencia. tampoco aceptó dólares (un billete de $20 que estaba doblado en la mitad, y otro de $100 por qué no tenía cambio). Sin opciones de cajeros por la mañana y queriendo salir al terminal, el hostel NOS ENCERRÓ, manteniendonos prisioneros hasta que arreglemos todo! Gracias a eso, perdimos el bus de retorno y solo salimos de allí con ayuda de otros viajantes. A los trabajadores les faltó empatía, flexibilidad y respeto. ABSURDO!
