Great budget style accommodation. Fabulous location, 5 minutes walk to all the main dining, bars and beach. Would have been helpful to have flyscreens on the windows so we could keep the windows open to let fresh air in, or maybe a ceiling fan to circulate the air. Shower could do with an ungrade and bathroom was a bit small. Beds were super comfy.

Right in the heart of Byron, one block from the beach, this motel was excellent. Check in was at the next door Waves hotel. Parking outside the room was easy. The room where 3 adults stayed was very comfortable, lovely comfy beds, super clean. There was a fridge, kettle toaster tv iron ironibg board and hairdryer. No need to bring anything! Great spacious shower with complimentary toiletries. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

A clean, quiet, basic motel room a few hundred meters from the ocean. Small kitchenette with some supplies. Good lighting. Check-in at other motel next door. Pricey, but that's Byron Bay.

Overpriced motel in Byron Bay. Bathroom was in very bad shape and there were lot of ants and they did not even bother to apply some insect spray. When I complained to reception , responded saying it’s because of wet weather. Pathetic experience after paying premium money for stay. Worst part is nobody available after 7 pm to address this kind of issue so incase of emergency you rely on so called security service which is chargeable service as on call. Do not waste your money, go find better place to stay.

Bathroom could be cleaner and more modern, get shot of the mouldy shower curtain! The room, 9, was obviously converted from a previous reception room and was odd in layout and confusing for guests who came to our door thinking it was the reception. Generally the room needs a good refresh and the photos when booking need to be more accurate to the room.

Room are nice and like on the pictures. The rooms have no soundproofing, so if someone is starting the car in front of your room early in the morning you falling out of the bed. The value with high prices is not good, but thats a byron bay thing.

Nice two bedroom apartment in great location. Really close to everything but still just outside the most noisy party area. Beds very soft but comfortable. Only thing we weren’t satisfied with was the Wi-Fi, it didn’t reach to our room since it was a very big hotel and we were in the Hibiscus part (and not the Waves part).

Had noisy neighbours making lots of noise till 3am. A very down market motel. Had to check in at another property and the checkin person was off hand. Bed was too soft and gave me a sore back. Two star rating is about right. Wouldn't stay here again. On a positive side, the location is good.

Firstly because the Hibiscus motel is what the reception staff said as being the budget section of the Waves Hotel the staff treated you like asecond class citizen. There was an A4 size sign high up on a post telling you to go round corner to the Hotel to checkin not good. I have slight mobility issues the step to get in door of unit was over 300cm it was really difficult did not make stay pleasant. Only 2 towels for 2 people for 3 days yuck! Microwave didnt work. Overall DO NOT STAY HERE OR THE WAVES HOTEL ROTTEN EXPERIENCE. Only good thing was the coffee shop across the road.
