Convenient & walkable to shops & dining around the property. Staff were friendly. Room is clean & bed is comfy. It lacked a proper table, even a small one will suffice cos there's no space to place small stuff.

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

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!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

I stayed for a week and only once did someone come by and very quickly "cleaned." Its a beach town, it was sandy and dirty. The vent in the bathroom doesn't turn on and when someone showered it steamed the entire room. No bathrooms on my floor besides the one in my room, which was always in use. Only one mirror and hook and they also were both in the bathroom.
