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.

Friendly staff and good facilities. The bed was super comfy, and we slept well! The ventilation in the room unfortunately wasn't great, and having the window locked meant we couldn’t get fresh air in. Overall it was good value and convenient though, and we would stay again!

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
