Wake up! Byron Bay

Cute room! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great food next door. Couldn't enjoy some of the amenities since the place was renovating. Not the best showers around, but overall worth the price!

Clean and comfortable stay, great location with the beach across the road.

First the bad news: overpriced private rooms with none of the assumed basics and amenities for a room of this price. One tiny bar of soap which needs to last the duration of your stay and split between the bathroom and shower. (I cut mine in half). There are definitely cutbacks in toiletries. (An extra shampoo would have been great - I was rationing this like the soap) Whoever is sourcing the hostel supplies needs to upgrade his vendor list - saving a few pennies on these essentials almost always kills repeat business. Housekeeping is hit and miss. I finally gave up getting a towel replaced after many days. Did not come on all days. (It’s a hostel) The Hostel really is out of town. It’s not really walkable. The shuttle is handy but don’t expect it to depart on a strict timetable. The restaurant is cool and well designed but pricey, menu fairly static and is your only food source this far out of town. Please drop the ridiculous default tipping menu when you order digitally- that I can assure you turns customers off very quickly. The good: great bed, room and bathroom totally adequate for a hostel. AC great. The staff are friendly. Facilities are as you expect for a hostel - actually a high quality hostel. I just hate when you pay hotel prices for a private room and no effort is made to elevate the experience beyond the normal standard hostel conditions.
