Best hostel we’ve stayed in! Private room was more like a hotel and was smart and spotless. Really nice vibe in the communal areas with great facilities and a good pool area. 1 dollar toasties were great too!

Sarah

Really great location and atmosphere! Stayed in one of the private rooms and it felt more like a hotel than a hostel.

Clean, friendly staff, great deal for 4-female room w/ private bath.

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.

Everything. The whole facility is well designed and fit for purpose. Quite possibly one of the best hostels

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!

Bathrooms could've been a little cleaner, showers in particular could be very sandy and dirty on occasion but usually following peak times.
Hostel was great - huge space, great facilities and always kept clean and tidy. Welcoming and happy staff made all the difference and always willing to help / offer advise. Great location and lovely pool.

Nothing serious but the paid carpark was a squeeze - something to bear in mind if you have a big vehicle. Also, my door rattled every time someone else on the floor shut theirs - resolved by wedging towels under it!
I haven't stayed in a hostel for a long time and was mildly concerned - but my room (private) exceeded expectations. Clean, comfy bed, nice bathroom. Staff were friendly and helpful, both before I arrived and during my stay. Bonus points for sufficient (yet not excessive) loo roll in this time of madness in Australia.

There was add on charges for EVERYTHING. We stayed in a double en-suite room so it wasn’t a very cheap price tag. Never have I been asked to pay for reception to watch our bags (Per bag) for an hour (while we also checked out of the actual room an hour early). Charged $7 to use a towel. House cleaning didn’t make the bed just swapped towels.
Location is great. It’s a cool vibe and clean.

Not very turned to customer service. A shame, but anyway, it's only a hostel, you can't expect a 5 star treatment, right? It's a very hippie and "cool" environment, so just play with it and your fine. In my case I was expecting more as I paid over $700 for 5 nights. But anyway, Byron itself compensated it.
The location is quite nice. A walking distance from supermarkets and restaurants and also from the beach.

I stayed in a private room which had no ventilation. It felt fine staying there but our towels and swimmers never fully dried even after 3 days of trying to air it out.
Location was excellent! Super convenient with lots of street parking, if needed. The place is clean and modern and the kitchen is spacious and airy. Better and cleaner than hostels I have stayed in in the past.
