YHA Byron Bay

Good location, near supermarket and not too far away from the beach. Modern, clean and I was quite happy with my bedroom. It was for 4 persons with own shower and toilet, separated which was great! Beds with curtain. Nice working area with television, movies, books, games and tables.

We stayed in a private room - as a couple and a third wheel, the layout was perfect for us. The private WC and shower was great and very clean, as was the room. The private bathroom had body wash, shampoo and conditioner available to use. The beds were comfortable with well-placed outlets below the light for the bed. The AC in the room works well and kept us comfy overnight. The communal areas were wonderful, it's just a shame that the weather was awful and did not stop raining as I would have loved to use the pool! The staff were very friendly and happy to offer local recommendations. The reception offers surfboard hire (we did not use it but it was there). Just around the corner is a bakery with amazing pies, highly recommend grabbing breakfast there :)

Location was perfect. We had a double room with ensuite, which was great for three friends. We were in town for a festival, so it was a handy spot close to everything. Room was clean, linen was good quality, hotel facilities were really good. Was great having the ensuite. Wasn’t too loud.

I recently stayed at YHA Byron Bay and had an absolutely amazing experience—it’s easily one of the best YHA hostels I’ve visited in Australia. The entire property feels new and modern, a big contrast to older YHAs. One standout is the kitchen facilities, which are top-notch. Everything you need is there, and it’s all clean and well-maintained. They also have washing and dryer machines on-site that are actually new and work really well—much better than the older machines you often find in other hostels. If you’re a digital nomad, you’ll love the dedicated co-working room with fast internet and plenty of space to set up a laptop. Every table has a plug for charging, which can be hard to find in some hostels. It’s comfortable, quiet, and ideal for getting work done. When you need a break, there are tons of cozy spots around the hostel to relax and unwind. During my stay, I joined the lighthouse tour organized by the YHA staff. They were super friendly and helpful, and it was a fun way to meet fellow travelers and explore the local area. The hostel also hosts plenty of events, so there’s always something social to look forward to. Overall, YHA Byron Bay is a fantastic choice—perfect for travelers who value cleanliness, modern amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re there to enjoy the beach, work remotely, or just take in everything Byron Bay has to offer, this hostel ticks all the boxes. Highly recommended! https://youtu.be/xM1u4QVIYwE?si=VvcLg8K5P5rHEKaf

Great hostel central to Byron Bay. We had a private room with bathroom and its was clean and quiet. The hostel is good with lots going on either at their one or the one up the road. The kitchen was quite small making it difficult to cook at times but a little bit of patience and somewhere will free up. Only issue is they close for cleaning for an hour or so each day but started 30/40 mins early a few times during our stay so had to wait over an hour for it be used again.
