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!

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.

Great base for the beach
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

Comfortable Stay
First time I have stayed at a hostel/backpackers, the experience was excellent. Friendly staff at check in, room was clean, and comfortable bed. The location was also very good, close to everything so can walk easily anywhere.

Tiny & basic family room with two beds, shower, toilet and pretty much nothing else. OK to stay for a few nights on a budget.

Perfect location and atmosphere
We loved the atmosphere of the place, and the great area provided to cook and chill. Everyone left it really clean and was respectful to others space. The rooms were a good size, clean and we had A/C in our private room plus a fan, so nice and cool. Would highly recommend for couples and singles

We stayed in the premium double ensuite with aircon and it was fantastic, me and my husband loved it! modern, clean and quiet. So glad we went with this! The pictures don’t do it justice! Choose this place over the dodgy looking place you won’t regret it
