Fantastic!
Excellent hostel - fantastic facilities throughout with the kitchen, pool, bar, laundry etc, the place is well maintained and my private room was kept incredibly clean throughout my one-week stay. Belonging Beach is literally on the doorstep, and there's a great cafe/restaurant right next door. They also run hourly free shuttle services to/from the town centre which is super convenient. Highly recommend!

The distance to the beach was great, and the food and drinks in the bar next door was fantastic. Very convenient and appreciate that the bar closes at 10pm to allow people to sleep

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean and cosy. The bathrooms look quite new, and that may also be because they are cleaned daily. A bit of a walk from the centre of town, but the hourly shuttle buses to and from make things much easier. The beach directly opposite is beautiful. If you're driving to Byron and have a car, staying here is very beneficial, as there is plenty of on-premises parking as well as street parking; where as in town would be more difficult or costly due to metered parking.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed 4 nights and the Private Rooms were great. Very clean and the staff were always attentive. Private room came with aircon and a basin etc, shared bathrooms were ok but the lights were out for the last 2 days I was there. Nice area of Byron Bay and Belongil Beach is literally across the road. Treehouse cafe is next door and this place was my go to coffee stop, great tunes too. Free shuttle bus is very handy to get into town, parking in Byron Bay is a nightmare and a rip off so the bus was great to have. Staff forgot to do my room on one of the mornings but besides this the hotel is very good. *Note: This is a very young hostel and the backpapers I found were very young. If you are looking for an older group of people to stay with then this might not be the place. I had a private room which was ok but if I was to have stayed in a dorm I would have felt out of place.

Overall great service, amenities and location. One important critique is to ensure all towels and bed sheets are not stained. It does not give confidence as a customer that they are clean.
