After 4 nights at Wake Up! Byron Bay, I can confidently say I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The value for money is excellent, and the girls at the front desk were always kind, welcoming, and accommodating.
I appreciated receiving a fresh towel each day, and I also enjoyed the activities on offer. I attended one of the yoga sessions, which was a great experience.
Although the hostel isn’t located in the town centre, I actually preferred that. It’s right across from Belongil Beach, which is beautiful, less crowded, and, in my opinion, even nicer than Main Beach. Getting into town was never an issue thanks to the complimentary shuttle service that runs every hour and conveniently stops right at the bus station.
The only thing I would have liked to see improved was the volume of the music around the pool area. It was a little loud around midday, and I would have enjoyed being able to read and journal there more comfortably. I also noticed a few other guests who seemed to be trying to do the same.
The rooms were kept quite clean, and the floors were vacuumed and mopped daily, which I appreciated.
Overall, I would highly recommend staying here and would happily return on a future trip to Byron Bay.
