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.

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!

Jeremy

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.

“Clean and comfortable, but boring”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
There really was not much of a vibe in the hostel. I do not know if this is because of the pandemic but the common areas close at 10:30pm or 11pm and no alcohol was allowed after 9pm. Not really the kind of socialising atmosphere you would expect from a backpackers.
The location is very central and very convenient. The hostel is also very clean.

Music on the loud speakers until 11pm and sometimes later. Sometimes it’s nice to have the down time at night without grease lighting Blasting 😂😂
Location was great! Also really reccomend Sunday Sustainable Bakery which is just around the corner and I found myself going there most days because it was delicious food and close to the YHA. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help me. Thankyou!

“Another great stay at Byron YHA”
- • Leisure trip

Put off as there were signs everywhere about how there was extra cleaning due to COVID, however I found a flip flop tucked under the bed from a previous guest so I don't believe the cleaning was that thorough. Some noisy guests at night as it's a hostel but that's to be expected
Can't beat the location or the facilities, one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in and will happily stay here on every trip I take to Byron. Large kitchen, big terrace, surfboards to rent and you can reserve a spot in the car park for a small fee (which is definitely needed)

Nothing special.
I really enjoyed staying here. Staff are friendly, location is perfect, facilities are good and clean. This was my first experience staying at a hostel. I was a bit worried about staying a room with other 3 girls, but it was beyond my expectation. I met a lot of new people there and got to make new friends. I loved chilling at the deck. I'll never forget this stay in Byron bay and would love to come back. Thank you very much for a great stay.

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.
