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.

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.

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!

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

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

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!
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.
