Arts Factory By Nomads

.

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

Such a beautiful community feel, I arrived late and the service was outstandingly good and welcoming at Reception, Very Grateful

Très sommaire, bruyant, sanitaires rudimentaire

Excellent value for money Friendly helpful staff

Chambre correcte mais le sol n'avait pas été fait (sable par terre). Les douches sont nettoyées plusieurs fois par jour. Bruyant le soir/nuit car toutes les chambres donnent sur les parties communes. Le wifi n'est pas terrible. A 10min à pied des bus.

You can sleep with 🐭

I really like the vibe at Arts Factory Lodge! It is a beautiful, cozy, friendly and artsy place with a lot of young backpackers. It can get a bit loud at times but there is loads of space and a big kitchen fitting many chefs at one go. Also loved the morning yoga! The dorms only have one ceiling light, no individual lamps or power sockets and the wifi isn’t very good in the rooms. But all in all it was a good stay!

Kitchen dirty and not much kitchen utensils and all in bad condition. The beds in the teepee didn't have blanket so it was cold to sleep. Noisy.

Overall it’s a good place to stay .

Fun and funky, good showers and nice room

Everything was great. Highly recommended. Will return. Toilets could be cleaner as my only gripe.

ew! worst place ever stayed nothing about it was nice, the bathrooms were vile plasters, mud and hair all over the floors. the room didn’t have an aircon so it was like being in a sauna there was a fan in one corner that you couldn’t move and it just blew out hot air, the bed was rock solid! the kitchen was a mess! if you have a car the parking lot was full of pot holes! it’s about 20 mins walk to the beach

Oil squeaky doors...how can staff not hear them! Bathrooms and Kitchens (due to sloppy customers and food bandit turkeys) need to be checked/cleaned more often.

Myself and a friend decided to stay in the Arts Factory, for a two day stay in Byron Bay. We have been travelling Australia for 4 weeks at this stage and when we turned up we received weird looks, I assume this was due to not looking a certain way, and having suitcases. The hostel is located among a significant amount of greenery (almost forest-like) and is at the end of a road with no street lights, which is very unnerving when walking home late at night. As a result, a car leaving the hostel during the night proceeded to beep and scream at myself and my friend when we were walking home alone in the dark. We stayed in the Cosy Corner, and this was a private room with a sitting room attached. Upon checking in, we noticed that this room was unclean with chewing gum on several walls, dirty sofa, dirty curtains and a bathroom which had mould and no hand soap present. When we entered this room, someone attempted to open the sitting room door, which was very unsettling and the curtains do not close properly, leaving you visible from the bed. This level of cleanliness followed into the shared bathrooms, which were covered in urine. We made the decision to vacate the hostel a night early and rearranged our trip to leave Byron Bay, a day earlier, as this experience tainted our view of Byron Bay as a location. Luckily, the manager agreed to issue a refund for this extra night which we did not stay, which was appreciated. However, I would not recommend staying here

The forest setting was beautiful but the filth especially in the way that soiled toilet paper was visible on a tour that I took of the camping area. I was trying to run away from the horrible doof music that was playing on my first night there. It was a shame to spoil the quiet with such rubbish. The last night music offering was better. The staff were willing to refund me my money but last minute didn’t so I had to put up with an isolated filthy place. I will not be booking accommodation with you again !
