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.
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

Great location right in the centre of town. Really well equipped kitchen, super clean. Activities available each day. Highly recommend
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!
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
We stayed here for a night with our children. The room was clean and comfortable, the kitchen and communal spaces were inviting and well set out. We didn’t swim in the pool because of our short stay, much to our kids dismay but it looked beautiful. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, beach and all for a very reasonable price. Would recommend. Would come back.
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 hostel. Spacious kitchen cleaned daily as well as the property. Staff were great, they had someone on site who can book you in for surfing or kayaking for cheap which was helpful.
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.
