We stayed in the pentagon. We would not reccomend, the tent zipper did not close or zip at all, not clean and we would wake up to everything wet the next morning even if we hung stuff up. The kitchen was quite nasty. The staff however were very kind and friendly we loved them all.

Nice and fun place to stay. Nice and spacious location with a generally good vibe. Very nice and helpful staff and rooms being cleaned daily. Kitchen was also pretty good. Can definitely recommend the talent night on Monday. Would come back again if I’m in Byron Bay!

Me and my friends stayed in arts factory for 4 nights in one of the tents we were skeptical at first but we absolutely loved it, the vibe is unmatched everyone is very friendly.You get what you pay for, it was nice having a pool on the site and we loved the hammocks.There is a bar attached to the hostel where they host events which we really enjoyed, only thing I will say is that the kitchen was so gross worst one i’ve seen of a hostel so far, felt very unhygienic and there was never any cutle...

This hostel has a really chill, social vibe that makes it easy to meet people. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the common areas are great for hanging out.

Estuvimos más de 1hora para hacer el check in, esperando a la chica que nos iba a enseñar la habitación y las instalaciones. Dormíamos 2 noches, 2 personas, después de la primera noche nos dicen que mi compañera se tiene que ir a dormir a otro dormitorio porque el staff que hizo el check in se equivocó y no la apuntó bien. Este proceso duró 3 horas. Una verguenza. El staff no da a basto, la recepcion estaba colapsada y la amabilidad… bastante deficiente.

Les commentaires déjà postés permettent de bien comprendre la vibe de l’endroit, c’est assez hippie (positivement !!), et très artistiques. Les personnes fréquentant l’auberge sont complètement à l’origine de l’atmosphère qui s’en dégage. On a adoré mais il faut penser que ça ne peut sûrement pas plaire à tout le monde

Average stay to be honest. Room was grim, cobwebs , dead flies, old food , mess everywhere which was from people staying for a long time. Only bit of cleaning was a mop here and there. Bathroom attached to the room wasn’t the nicest either. Very social hostel though, depending on your vibe, kind staff, wonderful location and locks on room doors were very secure too. I didn’t have a bad experience here but wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness of the place.

Good vibe at the hostel but no air conditioning was a killer in those 26°C nights. A bit of a walk out from anything in Byron but for the price you can’t complain

Good atmosphere with plenty to do every night, the only thing I would say is that the kitchen is small for the amount of people staying in the hostel. 2 sinks for over 100 guests is a bit minimal
