Lock in a great price for Byron Bay YHA – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Room was clean, bathrooms were clean every time I used them. Kitchen was surprisingly clean for how many people use it, many stations for cooking, very easy to find a spot to do your thing. I met so many great people here, had a lovely stay in Byron. So close to everything you will probably want to do. I highly recommend staying here!

Prime location - close to the bars, restaurants and shops as well as the beach. Staff are friendly and helpful. Very clean and modern, with lots of space in the common area to meet new people.

One of the cleanest and frankly swankiest hostels I've ever stayed at. Felt more like a resort than a hostel. Super great layout and tons of places to hang out and socialize. Late night checkin was amazingly helpful. Staff was 5 star quality friendly and knowledgeable. Location was superb. Would definitely stay again. Byron Bay upholds the excellence of the YHA chain in the best possible way.

The common areas are very nice and modern, with hammocks, sofas, a huge kitchen etc. and the bathroom was really clean. The room was kind of basic but enough for us and the one night we spent there. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My friends loved the pancakes!

Sabrina

Appreciated the efficient staff who worked hard to clean and tidy the facilities. If there was a mess, it was due to irresponsible guests. This is a well run facility and the staff are eager to help with directions, activities and excursions.

Location was perfect, close to town and the main beach! We loved the staff, very friendly, specially Ashley! And they always have a lot of activities for the guests.

I stayed in a 4 bed dorm, and it was by far the most confortable I stayed at. The beds are nice, there is a privacy curtain ( that to me changes everything in a dorm) plug & light at each bed. Everything is new, clean and modern. The kitchen is a nice place to hang out, so is the swimming pool. Location is just perfect near the greyhound bus stop, all the shops and less than 10 min walk to the beach. It was my favorite hostel of my whole trip in Australia.

Great facilities - clean bathrooms and kitchen, plenty of areas to relax both outdoors and indoors, comfy beds. The staff on reception were great, and allowed me to leave my bags in the lockers the day I checked out.

“good value for money, it's not a 5-star Hilton”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
The Bathrooms were filthy and definitely not cleaned even once during my four day stay. Bedrooms were nice and somewhat clean, the floor should be mopped properly and more often instead of only vacuuming.. I was a bit bummed about the lack of the curtains of the beds to get some privacy as shown in the pictures, but probably they were part of other room types. Also remember to bring your own lock for the locker in the room!
Location was great and restaurants around amazing. There's also a big woolies just in a walking distance. I didn't use the kitchen but it seemed big and nice.

“Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The dorm room floors could do with a bit better clean, although perhaps that’s because sand comes in quite regularly! Also I’d have liked it if there were more arranged events in the week like a bar crawl.
And I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels! I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm with an ensuite shower and toilet. The dorm beds were super comfy, had their own privacy curtains, plug and individual light as well as large locker and actual space to open your bags in the room. Despite being busy I slept very well and the hostel was very quiet. Shower and toilet were separate and both modern. Central location, everything walkable. There’s also a secure underground car park you can reserve a bay in for $10 per day. The hostel facilities were great, great pool and lots of comfy seating & hammocks to relax in!

Arrived at YHA with a bad foot/ankle from surfing, the lady on reception ensured I got a room with a lower bunk and carried my bags up for me Next morning still couldn’t walk properly and a guy at reception carried my bag all the way to the Skybus stop for me. I have never felt so grateful for the staff in any hostel before - this is the third hostel I have stayed at during my time in Byron Bay and trust me it is the best!! Rooms so clean and new
