What guests think

At YHA Byron Bay, reviewers highlight a central, walkable setting, friendly staff, and modern, well kept common areas, while feedback on rooms and cleanliness is mixed, citing occasional maintenance, ventilation, pests, and late or infrequent cleaning.

Many guests find beds comfortable and rooms spacious or modern, but several mention thin bunk mattresses, locked windows, poor airflow or temperature control, and limited furniture or storage. Shared facilities, especially the large communal kitchen, receive frequent praise, but one review reported late-night noise around the pool. Expect a convenient hostel stay with strong communal spaces but variability in room features and cleanliness.

Great hostel. Spacious kitchen cleaned daily as well as the property. Staff were great, they had someone on site who can book you in for surfing or kayaking for cheap which was helpful.

The hostel is relatively new and has a large open air shared space, a large shared kitchen which is kept very clean. The room was fine. The bunk beds are cheap, you can feel your downstairs neighbor move. The mattress had seen better days, it is thin and mine was so slept in it came with a clear impression of where other people slept. The bathroom and toilets are okay, but are not cleaned daily.

We loved the atmosphere of the place, and the great area provided to cook and chill. Everyone left it really clean and was respectful to others space. The rooms were a good size, clean and we had A/C in our private room plus a fan, so nice and cool. Would highly recommend for couples and singles

In a 4 bed dorm with en suite. Room was clean , large, luggage lockers for each bunk. A/c was the quietest I'd stayed in on this month long trip. Although lots of schoolies staying, the large, immacutaly clean kitchen and dining area coped with the numbers. This is a modern building and is an ideal, affordable place to stay in Byron Bay

War nur eine Nacht dort und es hat durchgehend geregnet. Das Hostel hat mir gut gefallen, auch wenn der Aufenthaltsraum etwas genutzt aussieht. Bei schlechtem Wetter gibt es nichts zu tun in Byron Bay 😄

I stayed for a week and only once did someone come by and very quickly "cleaned." Its a beach town, it was sandy and dirty. The vent in the bathroom doesn't turn on and when someone showered it steamed the entire room. No bathrooms on my floor besides the one in my room, which was always in use. Only one mirror and hook and they also were both in the bathroom.

I had a private room, very modern bathroom and spacious. Bed was ok and couldn’t control temperature of the room so opened a window. I had a large spider crawl in and made its way to the ceiling so fly wire would be a good idea. I also got bitten by a mosquito so my last night there I didn’t sleep well because of the visiting insects.
