Duo Nomad

This was the worst and most unsafe experience I have ever had at a hotel/hostel. Duo Nomad and Duo Housing are managed by the same company, so expect the same type of treatment in both. On September 26, 2024, I was forcibly removed from Duo Nomad with police present — even though I had broken no rules. Here is exactly what happened: • The front desk employee approached me and asked if I was extending my stay or checking out. He already knew I was a guest. Then he demanded my full name, and when I only gave my first name, he left. • He came back aggressively, verbally insulting me and claiming he was “the owner,” when in reality he was only the receptionist. At no point did he show me any employee ID — for all I knew, he could have been just another guest. • I showed him my Booking.com

Excellent location just off Eastern Market Metro. Good restaurants nearby|All staff were very friendly and helpful|One must remember this is a hostel, small rooms, bunk beds, but it is very clean, great hot water and pancakes for breakfast we’re great |We didn’t cook , but kitchen had all necessary items to use |Note of caution, bring an older home, stairs are narrow, just take it slow

Positive: The flexibility, the cleanliness, the quietness and respect for all Negative: Shoes to be kept at the reception level at all times

Pro: It was closer to Eastern Markets metro.. Walkin 5 minutes from the metro. It has a park nearby and also wharf is 20 min walk which is a great place to hangout. Wifi strength was good, bathroom amd showers were clean. They gave a tour of house which is nice. You can cook your own food, heat so kitchen is available. Luggage storage facility is available where they keep even after checkout for free. The 2 people that I met who manage the property are well spoken and friendly. Free breakfast pancake only. Small Patio is there at roof top which is nice.manage Cons: 3 unisex washroom for entire house and 2 shower for men/2 for women in a house full of Approximately 20 dorm beds. That is way too less so you might have to wait for sometime to get your turn. Doesn't provide shower gels and sha

I went here about 3 years ago now. Staff was a dream. I barely remember the names. Helen was at the front. They were intensely rude but also really good vibes, I liked them all a lot. The stay is okay it’s just a hostel but really the staff is what leaves a lasting impression. Good people in what I’m assuming is a bit of a risky work environment considering you’re living amongst strangers 24/7. A shorter guy there called me Kenny from South Park. Very great staff, I wonder if they’ve changed (probably have) since but if they haven’t, doubt they’ll remember me but I would go again just to kick it with them again. Would recommend here 2-3 nights maximum
