Friendly but quiet hostel, staff are lovely, all the facilities and close to everything in town and the beach. They have a few social things going on throughout the week like yoga and zumba, lighthouse walks and bbqs. Rooms are very clean and I've never had to wait for the bathroom. Chilled out common areas and book exchange. Laundry machines are $5 each. Free towel on check in. Great kitchen with all the equipment you need. Good space in the fridge/cupboards. Super organised hostel - I've extended my stay several times now as i really like it..

Shower heads were a bit broken but they have already been replaced.

Friendly but quiet hostel, staff are lovely, all the facilities and close to everything in town and the beach. They have a few social things going on throughout the week like yoga and zumba, lighthouse walks and bbqs. Rooms are very clean and spacious (I've stayed in 4 different rooms now), beds are comfy and I've never had to wait for the bathroom. Chilled out common areas and book exchange. Laundry machines are $5 each. Free towel on check in. Great kitchen with all the equipment you need. Good space in the fridge/cupboards. Super organised hostel - I've extended my stay several times now as i really like it.

The shower heads were a bit worn and would spray you in the face but that's already been fixed so we all good!

Staff allowed us to use facilities prior to check in Room was basic but very comfortable and clean Clothes horses provided to allow you to dry clothes Air con worked well with ability to change modes Shared toilets and showers were clean and modern, warm water and good pressure Kitchen system worked well, with a fridge to keep labelled food in and good kitchen facilities to cook a proper meal Selection of activities to join in on, we did not participate but would be good for a solo traveller Staff were friendly and helpful, allowed us to rent bikes for sunrise Bedroom was quiet and there were no issues with any noise

really nice bathrooms, always clean, lots of outdoor space, good common areas The staff were really professional and helped me switch rooms as well when I felt uncomfortable. Great people and would highly recommend as a stay

I have no real complaints, but I found it a bit odd that they were cleaning the bathrooms in the morning at 7:30 when it was prime time for them to be used (They would still let us use them if no one was actually inside), in addition, someone was buffering the floor at 6:30 am for 30 minutes waking everyone up. I cant complain too much as the hostel was very clean, but just odd hours.

Absolute gem! Super cheap for a great hotel like room. Bathrooms are always spotless and cleaned multiple times a day. You can control the temperature of your room. Personnel is simply adorable, always ready to help, asking you about your day and genuinely giving you advice about what to do and where to go. Always smiling and ready to help, but no help is needed because everything is great! Great cafe next door for yummy breakfasts, walking distance to the main beach and all the little shops of the city There's even free parking around. What more could you ask for ?

Be carefull, parking clearance is 2meters high (not enough for some vans)

There are three big points. ①Anyway, the staff is a reliable place. If you are in trouble, you will definitely help me. ② The kitchen and toilet are all cleaned and it's very clean. ③ The guests staying at the hotel are warm and welcoming. You don't feel alone Even if the nationality is different. ---------------------------------- Kanami, one of the staff, is very wonderful. When I talked to her, I was able to relax and enjoy my stay here. Max,one of the staff, worked hard to solve the troubles that occurred during my journey. I left my cell phone on the bus and my cell phone went to Brisbane. He called the bus company over and over again so that I could get my cell phone back. It was enough to impress me. Thank you sooo much, Max!made my Byron LIFE.

The wall is thin, so you can hear the voice of the person next to me. But I think it's not bad normal at a backpacker hotel.

Convenient and very clean. Bed was very comfortable.

No mirror in the bedroom. A technical problem on arrival: We arrived after the office had closed, when we picked up the key from the night box, it had not been activated to open the car park rollerdoor., which was a little inconvenient. We had to call the night manager to open the office and resolve the issue.. I also felt the cost was too much per night for a very basic room with no mirror and a communal bathroom/shower/toilet cubicle.

The rooms were clean, amenities were licked. I loved the pool, it was great, but not nice that it was closed in the morning hours for some divers. Kitchen was good and clean. Workers really cared about it

The beds were not comfy, as it was used so much that you got forced in the middle of the mattress. Were not the only one that said this. The kitchen was sometimes a bit to small for all the ppl. But not that of a problem. Surfboards hire is a bit expense, as we got it for free in Newcastle YHA, here it was 15$ for "half of day" which is only 4 hours?! 12÷2 is 6 not 4.

Yoga class was so good!! Only $5 but make sure you pre book day before as gets booked out quick! Bed was surprisingly comfy, nice showers, so much social space, and huge kitchen with all appliances you’d need! Became more social the longer I was there too! And although it was annoying some evenings being pushed out of social areas at 10pm for noise, I’d respect that as someone who enjoys an earlier night sometimes. Rooms seemed pretty sound and light proof which meant I slept super well and air con was really good (one of only Yha hostels I’ve stayed at that actually has Aircon!!)

Showers/toilets could’ve been cleaned abit more frequently! Another microwave would’ve been nice to prevent waiting in busy times. Would’ve perhaps liked more activities on during days and evenings too? Can be hard to mix as a solo traveller so any activities that help with that are awesome! Other nearby hostels also give free drink voucher to nearby bars, which would be nice!
