A great hostel to get some downtime. Not too busy, so using the kitchen is a breeze, but the common area is massive so plenty of space to meet new people. Location is ideal, short walk from the coach station and the main beach.

I was a returning visitor having stayed here in a dorm as a backpacker some years ago. I returned this time on a weekend break with a friend and stayed in a private room. An impressive upgrade for sure. The room was well appointed and comfortable, with a good sized comfy bed, icy cold air conditioning and a large clean bathroom with excellent shower. The provided shower soaps and toilet roll were high-end touches. Cleaner than last time around the place, too. 10/10

The location was great and rooms clean. The 5 female bed was too small. Only 4 lockers for 5 people so i didnt have anywhere safe to put my things . Also there was only 3 female showers for the whole top floor . And no charging plugs for the top bunk

A fab hostel - always clean, spacious rooms, comfy beds. Kitchen areas were great. Super nice staff. Could be more social - more quiet vibes, but still some nice activities you can join onto. Only 2 showers in the new building though so there can sometimes be a queue. Overall would stay here again :)

Really enjoyed my stay here! Can’t fault it. The location is amazing the facilities are great especially the kitchen. There are loads of places to sit and enjoy time with other travellers. The one thing I will fault this hostel for it the fact that the cleaners clean the toilets at 9am every morning (when everyone wakes up) so you are not able to use them when you wake up, which was really frustrating. Other than that amazing!

Very nice facilities but the wrong hostel if you want to be social and party. A lot of longer stays with people working here.

✅ The location is close to the beach and downtown, there is plenty of outdoor seating on the deck, the pool is nice and the kitchen is large and relatively clean. ❌ The rooms however are small and felt a little like a jail cell. There was mold on the walls and no plug ins for the upper bunks. Some of the staff were friendly but most were cold and unwelcoming. Overall, I wouldn’t stay long term but it’s fine for a short visit — for the same price I’d argue there are better opti...

Such a nice hostel with great facilities. We stayed in a 5 bed female dorm and it was lovely. Beds are comfy but could do with some curtains. Kitchen is big and well equipped. Nice social area with lots of seating. Along the Main Street of Byron so easy to get to places 👌🏼👌🏼

The hostel is quite new looking, my room with the en-suite was nice, clean and had AC which was lovely. The door didn’t close unless you pull shut so beware. No social events which I feel it needs badly that was a shame, only Pilates and yoga from what I see, a WhatsApp group would be nice to get to know people In your hostel also. Good location, staff could have give more information as only got told my room number. Overall 7/10 just the social side lets it down.

Loved staying here in Byron Bay! The hostel is very clean and has a nice environment as well. The only thing I would say is that the bathrooms were on a different floor than my room so that was a bit inconvenient when I needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

My FAVOURITE HOSTEL IVE EVER STAYED IN !! such a great location, close to town, close to the beach, close to a food shop. The hostel itself is beautiful, surrounded by trees and feels very tropical, lots of social areas and a pool!! The kitchen is huge and was always clean, the best hostel kitchen I’ve ever cooked in.

Loved it here. Pristine conditions for the kitchen, restrooms, community rooms, dining areas. Curtains on all the beds with charging spots accessible from each bed. Spacious rooms, plenty of storage lockers in the room. Staff was so friendly as was the vibe of all the guests staying there. Would absolutely return to YHA Byron bay and recommend anyone coming here to stay aswell. My bus didn’t leave until the evening and they let me stay and use the facilities after check out no extra charge 10/...

Fik værelse i den nye bygning. Og der er man ikke lige så meget en del af fællesskabet som i den originale bygning. Dog er der en stor og god terrasse!! Der er kun 2 bade hvilket jeg syntes er for lidt. Men god plads på værelset!! Mangler bare en skraldespand der inde

This hostel is not social at all. If you want to meet cool people, don’t come here. The staff was rude to me. I spoke to the manager about it, but she didn’t believe that her “super friendly” staff would behave like that. I didn’t feel like I was taken seriously. The only good thing is that the kitchen is great.
