This exceeded expectations for a hostel. It was right in the city center and a 3 minute walk to a gorgeous beach. The location is unbeatable! The staff were super friendly and it had a huge communal kitchen and living space. I had a private room and found the beds to be comfy and loved that they provided warm comfy bedding and clean new white towel.

The staff was awesome! I’m pretty introverted but on the first night, a male staff member saw me standing by myself watching beer pong and immediately introduced himself and then introduced me to a group of girls who I’ve met up with a few times since during my travels. Property was clean and quiet and the hostel had fun events to meet people. Probably my favorite hostel I’ve ever been to!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, walking distance to beaches, greyhound bus, cafes, restaurants.... Surfboard rental in the hostel (20aud/6 hours), very clean, very good amenities, great showers with shower gel, shampoo etc.. quite big room (4 bed dorm).. There are so many crappy hostels in Australia... This one is a great exception! Best hostel in Australia so far!

    The hostel is pretty new, so there is some space for improvement, but as the manager told us they are working on it to make Vali the best hostel in byron! Everything is really clean and it’s very easy to meet new people there. Overall a really good place to spend your time in the middle of byron. Special thanks to Tassilo for being the best receptionist!
