Arts Factory By Nomads

Good wee spot, can't complain whatsoever. 10/10. Fun fact, it's the Inbetweeners hostel. Legit only realised this when I rocked up. One thing I would recommend is some recycling bins.

Dirty communal areas but clean ensuite room

Everything good except one thing. Please provide light and power point in every bed (up or down). Everyone deserve this.

Super loud until about 3-4am with the drunk people.

Choosing to stay here you need to keep in mind that it is a 2 star hostel so you can't expect bells and whistles. You have to manage your expectations. That being said me and my partner found this to be the perfect base for our Byron Bay stay. We stayed in a private cube double room and to be honest it's everything we needed. We've stayed in 5 star hotels before and I can honestly say the bed in this hostel was one of the comfiest beds we've ever slept in! We had a fridge to store food and drink & even a kettle with tea, coffee & milk. Please be warned the rooms are not air-conditioned but we did have a big fan on the wall that helped massively! We can't comment on kitchen/ cooking facilities as we did not make use of these. Bathrooms are perfectly functional but could do with some tlc and a more regular cleaning schedule. We made sure we took antibac wipes in with us every time & always where you flip flops in the shower lol! The room was overall clean but could have definitely done with a deeper clean such as upholstery clean & walls/skirtings/Windows. Overall we had a lovely stay here and found the staff super friendly and helpful!

Room was clean and had 2 fans was basic but had everything that we needed Staff at check in were lovely

Clean room, easy check in (please offer ways to check in without downloading the app) and good facilities. Sadly a bit too noisy for a decent sleep.

Shared kitchen and bathroom facilities were very dirty. Fan broken in room- we were provided with a second standing fan however could not have both fans on due to position of plugs, no one came to fix ceiling fan. Parking not guaranteed in hostel car park for guest which was not told to us, we parked in what we thought was overflow which resulted in a $330 fine. On arrival no staff member advised which car parks to park in or asked if we even had a car. Overall very poor stay

The Cube double rooms are a great budget alternative to the dormitories to have your own space, security and privacy. Fridge and tea making facilities included in the room. Convenience of a shared kitchen for food preparation. Plenty of communal areas and activities to enjoy. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Thisnplace is awesome for a chilled stay or if your looking to meet people, this place has you covered, can't recommend this place enough

Great quick place to stop if you are in Byron Bay.

Nice accommodation but sadly rude people staying there over crowded the two person cabin next door and was rudely loud til 4:30am

Haven't been to the Arts Factory for quite a few years now. Love the place, its uniqueness in the vanilla of the modern Byron Bay, as well as its proximity to beaches, town etc. The staff were a mixed bunch, the lady that checked me was awesome, friendly, competent and welcoming.Other staff were a mixed bunch with some having little interest and others being somewhat rude. The joint is also looking a bit run down compared to what it was years ago. Would I stay again?, possibly, I hardly spent any time there as I was working at the Mullum Music festival, so if was living the backpacker ( as opposed to traveller) dream perhaps I would stay again.

A really cool hostel but unfortunately a few areas letting them down. The staff are great, welcoming and helpful. The hostel itself is a super fun space. Super cheap and affordable. And a near spot to Byron. However it does not attract the best guests. We found people did not respect the space or other guests. The kitchen area was disgustingly dirty. The 10pm noise curfew was ignored and the pod next to us raved with loud speakers until 2am when we had to personally tell them to turn their music off, after they had been told off by staff several times previously with no consequences enforced. The travellers were generally unfriendly and hostile, which is a shame as could be a brilliant vibe like other hostels if they could implement some new rules or stand up for the place and enforce them.

Far cheaper than other accommodation

We enjoyed out short stay at the Arts Factory. Friendly staff and the vibe in the property was surreal. Definitely a great place to stay for young folks and young at heart.

Everything was great for a hostel. Only complain is some of the workers were rude.

Absolutely amazing. Can't recommend enough.

Good
