For the price we really weren’t expecting such a pleasant, clean, spacious and well appointed apartment. So close to the beach with secret direct access. Short stroll into town. Staff and management went over and above to help with all enquires even lending us their own personal stroller for my toddler. Pool area was quiet and our ground floor apt was so easily accessible with a baby. Loved our stay and can’t wait to come again.
The hotel is in a great location, far enough away from the main street of Byron, but close enough to walk everywhere which was perfect for us. We stayed in Bryon for 4 nights. The room was clean enough, but found that was very over priced for what you get. Anywhere else and it would be a 3 star resort. Byron Bay as a whole is very overpriced, which is surprising given that the average age of people there seems to be early-mid twenties. A little disappointed that not even tissues were supplied in the room. But overall was ok. The hotel mentioned beach access, however, even though there is a gate, you need to walk through scrub, over railway tracks, and over sand dunes to get there.
Check in was efficient but welcome was lacking.
Great location, 6 minute walk to cafes, restaurants and shopping in the main street, further 2 minutes to main beach.
Pleasant pool area, though on the small side, good hot spa.
Secure undercover parking.
On the downside, lots of noise from other rooms - the doors bang loudly when closed and could hear what people in next room were saying. Light from hotel next door shining into room entire night, bright light in hallway kept on all night and shone under door (should be dimmed after 10pm). Room was dark and damp, no privacy when curtain opened due to hotel next door. No water pressure in shower made it almost impossible to wash hair or properly rinse off soap. Rooms are only serviced every 8 days. Only one set of towels provided. Notice said free laundry downstairs but we grabbed fresh towels off a trolley in the hall and placed wet towels in a basket near the pool. Think other guests did same. Floor in room wasn't clean. I swept every day - going under chairs and tables - so much dust and other bits of rubbish. No sharp knife in cutlery drawer. Rubbish bin had a bad odour. At $360 per night was very over priced but demand is there as wasn't much else left in Byron at time of booking.
Stayed here for the second time and it hasn’t changed. It’s conveniently located close to town, so we were able to walk everywhere. The rooms are spacious, although ours was a little bland. Would love to have a full sized fridge as it is marketed towards longer stays and it’s more an apartment than a hotel room.
Byron Beachcomber was the perfect place for me to spend 10 nights in Byron while on holiday and attending a wedding in the hinterland. Andrew and Jacinta were very welcoming and cheerfully answered all my questions and helped me organise tours while I was there. My room was clean and spacious, the bed was super comfortable. It is only a short walk to the town along a well lit main road and I felt safe walking alone at night back after meeting up with friends and family from the wedding at one of the many fabulous restaurants in Byron. It was a bonus that the Skybus from the Gold Coast stopped right outside. I definitely recommend Byron Beachcomber and intend staying there on my next visit.
