we stayed in byron bay for one night on our way to brisbane driving. We arrived at the reception that man told us that this was the best yha. Me and my friend just looked at hime and at this point we said we had been using diffrent ones for the last 2 weeks and no comment was made. The... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights over Bluesfest. Nothing flash but clean and welcoming which is what I look for in a hostel. This is not a party hostel but close to everything you need: beach, pubs, nightlife and restaurants etc. Would recommend it to anyone who really wants to appreciate byron bay not just party.

Such a nice and clean hostel. I met heaps of great new friends here - excellent for solo travellers! The pool was really nice and relaxing, but the beach is so close why would you!

The hostel is big and clean, good sized kitchen and seating area with a seperate tv and movie room. Its small in Byron Bay so its close to everything and especally woolworths. Our dorm was nice and clean.

Stayed here for one week on my trip up the east coast of Australia. As per the reviews from other people the hostel does try to inforce a strict no partying / drinking after 10pm and all communal areas closed after 11pm.

I actually only stayed here 1 night as I really didn't like Byron so left for Sydney earlier than planned. Hostel was pretty quiet, but clean and with a nice pool and communal area (at least during the day). Great location for the beach. Bit annoying that you have to pay for towels and wifi but this seems common with... More

As a backpacker you hear lots about byron bay and how its the party spot of oz! I was so excited to get here and see if that was true. As a yha member I picked this hostel as I expected it to be of a high quality like other YHA's I'd stayed in. However it wasnt. Upon arriving you... More

This hostel was just awful in terms of sleep. It advertises itself as a quiet non-party hostel. It has signs everywhere saying no drinking after 10pm, no being in communal areas after 11pm etc which sounded great. And the manager really tried to keep to this, but the structure of the hotel made it impossible for the poor manager. The... More

We had plan a 3 or 4 night stay at Byron Bay after hearing all the ''good stories'' about sun, surf and nightlife. There was sun, there was surf, there was nightlife but the stay at YHA was not wat we expected. We had booked a 4 shared room but due to a fault in their system ( which they... More
