The stay was great! A friendly hostel, with nice activities. I liked the yoga class, and the breakfast after the class that make me meet new friends. The location is perfect, and accept the stairs in the entrance, it was very accessible and comfortable.

Immaculate hostel in the middle of Byron
We stayed here in January 2024. The check in process was seamless, in addition very helpful and friendly staff. The hostel is immaculately clean and modern. The staff go above and beyond to assist with any inquires or needs. The bed was extremely comfortable and noise levels were very minimal. Location is right in the heart of Byron Bay township. I highly recommend this hostel and will be a returning guest.

Best hostel in Byron Bay
Amazing spacious clean hostel with very convenient location to main beach and town. Spacious clean kitchen with lockers and boiled hot water and filtered cold water handy in the kitchen.
Beach towel and surfboard provided for free.
This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed and I would definitely come back again.

Probably the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in globally. Private room was great - comfortable bed, good ensuite, air con. Hostel facilities also great - huge kitchen which was always clean, big social area on the roof with activities so easy to meet others. Super convenient location walking distance to everything. Staff friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

This is our second time staying here and we still love the ease and fuss free for environment here. There just a level of fun that comes with staying here that makes Byron Bay that much more appealing. I always feel younger staying here lol. Love it. Will always stay here every time we visit Byron Bay.
