Awesome place to stay! Super central and great facilities! Shame about the people in my room had made an absolute mess of the place but the actual hostel was epic
Good location and lovely restaurants nearby. We stayed three friends in a private room which was spacious. Enjoyed the pool and organized events such as bbq.
Friendly staff and good facilities. The bed was super comfy, and we slept well! The ventilation in the room unfortunately wasn't great, and having the window locked meant we couldn’t get fresh air in. Overall it was good value and convenient though, and we would stay again!
In a 4 bed dorm with en suite.
Room was clean , large, luggage lockers for each bunk.
A/c was the quietest I'd stayed in on this month long trip.
Although lots of schoolies staying, the large, immacutaly clean kitchen and dining area coped with the numbers.
This is a modern building and is an ideal, affordable place to stay in Byron Bay
I had a private room, very modern bathroom and spacious. Bed was ok and couldn’t control temperature of the room so opened a window. I had a large spider crawl in and made its way to the ceiling so fly wire would be a good idea. I also got bitten by a mosquito so my last night there I didn’t sleep well because of the visiting insects.
Beds are super comfortable and all amenities are new with a clean aesthetic, had a noisy bunk mate that truly ruined my stay here. Told the staff at front desk about what happened that night during checkout and nothing was resolved just a sorry. Otherwise would recommend staying here
Wow, this dark room was pretty nasty and damp and they did not clean the private rooms until after 4 nights. Staff were not helpful with anything either. Reasonable prices for the area but really regret staying there.
Bad experience, fire alarm went off twice during the night, too much noise, extremely dirty bathroom. We wouldn't go back, we were disappointed at over $250 a night. Look elsewhere.
The hostel is relatively new and has a large open air shared space, a large shared kitchen which is kept very clean.
The room was fine. The bunk beds are cheap, you can feel your downstairs neighbor move. The mattress had seen better days, it is thin and mine was so slept in it came with a clear impression of where other people slept. The bathroom and toilets are okay, but are not cleaned daily.
