“Nice vibes, but could be better in some areas”
This hostel has nice hangout spaces like a pool table, ping pong, and board games. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of cooking equipment, and there is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the sunshine. The location is nice, not right in the centre but just a short walk from the high street.

“Peaceful and clean, one of the best hostels.”
Great location walking distance into the main parts of Byron bay and the beach. The Hostel was peaceful at night with a friendly atmosphere during the day amongst fellow guests. There is a nice outdoor space with a big lawn and outdoor benches. The showers were clean and the private double bedroom was a good size with storage and fresh clean bedding. There was a good ceiling fan.

“Excellent, would stay again”
Private double room we stayed in was lovely and cancelled the noise from outside out well. Less than a 10 minute walk to the town.

“Great value for money. Clean and spacious room.”
The room was very spacious and clean. The accommodation was quiet and we had a good night’s sleep here. Not sure why the feedback for this place isn’t great as we thought it was good compared to some other hostels we have stayed in and great value for money.
