Aquarius Backpackers Byron Bay

Facu at the front desk was amazing! He was so friendly and helpful and made Aquarius backpackers a brilliant stay for us. The room was extremely clean, great location and brilliant hostel activities. I would highly recommend this hostel for anyone staying in Byron Bay! Thank you Facu💓

best hostel in australia

Das Hostel hat sehr viele Aktivitäten die toll organisiert werden. Von der Sauberkeit im Zimmer war ich etwas enttäuscht, da das Bad überall voll war mit Schimmel und die Matratzen so durchgelegen waren, dass ich die Metallstangen in meiner Rippe gespürt habe. Ansonsten sind die Zimmer groß und geräumig. Der Pool ist nicht mehr frei verwendbar, dies ist nun ein extra Pool Club. Ansonsten war die Küche immer sehr sauber und aufgeräumt.

Bathrooms need deep cleaning, especially showers.

Excelente

the place is in a good location, I felt safe, the common area are clean and nice. but the room is a bit old and the en-suite bathroom could be a little bit more cleaner… no curtain on the bed and the windows in the room, even if the windows are blurry the light get in easily in the morning so bring something to cover your eyes while you sleep. overall a good place with good vibes!

Amazing hostel, booked my bed 2 minutes before checking in and it went soo snoothly. The receptionist was incredible; upgraded my bed after knowing I made 2 separate bookings over 2 nights. Enviornment was nice and the location is close to the beach.

Social hostel in a great location. However only one shower/toilet for 10 people.

Location is great as it's only a couple of minutes walk to the beach. I had to ask FIVE times (over several days) for the handwash dispenser in the shared bathroom to be refilled. The lack of handwash also meant other guests were walking around and touching handles with dirty hands. Cleanliness wasn't great in the rooms either as there is a large build-up of dust on floors and beds, and snot on walls. Staff singing loudly whilst cleaning. Some staff rude. Noise disturbances not prioritised.

This place is so lovely! Got super lucky with my roommates and all got along amazingly! Love the balcony and all the facilities it has to offer! It is in the centre of everything, and all a walking distance! It’s so good we are coming back lol!

Zimmer war nicht „frisch renoviert“; es war nicht sehr sauber. Ansonsten alles top

I adored this hostel, ended up extending another 5 nights. The 10 bed dorm with the balcony was the perfect place to meet people and socialise as a solo traveller - the memories I made here are amazing !! The hostel puts on fun events and the rooftop gym is gorgeous. Shoutout to Janu at reception he was amazing. Also the happy travels desk is a great addition (shoutout Ross !!) I can’t wait to be back here later this month!!

Social area & kitchen is renovated and really pretty. Rooms on the other hand are not that clean, mould in shower and bathroom. Stuff is friendly, really social hostel :)

Loved it here! Great atmosphere and people, there's even a gym on the property and discounts for the restaurant nextdoor.

The shower kept dripping uncontrollably but besides that it was great:) a bit annoying that they didn’t have curtains around the beds

Cute place and great location. I loved that it was on two floors for a ten beds room. Although, the bathroom needed some serious cleaning as there was mold in the shower. Also, there was holes in the blanket provided.

Cool hostel and good location. Big rooms , only bad thing was the bathroom was not so clean

Eines der hostels mit den meisten Putzaktionen in den Gemeinschaftsräumen. 3 mal täglich wird die Küche gesäubert. Das hat mir sehr gefallen. Allerdings war das Bad auf unserem Zimmer sehr dreckig… alles in allem kann ma das Hostel für ein paar Nächte empfehlen

I especially enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped and clean kitchen

Rooms were decent, bathroom could have been cleaner. The sink was blocked for the 2 nights I was there so we couldn’t use it. Very big kitchen so plenty of room for numerous people to cook at one time.
