“Lovely stay”
+The pool area and common area was really nice. Had a lovely vibe heaps of seating by the pool
−The cleanliness!! I had a private room and it got cleaned once by house keeping however they didn’t really clean they just made the bed and gave towels. The location is great however the street is a back alley and at night felt somewhat unsafe especially for women

“Lovely hostel but be open minded to who is staying here”
+Perfect location for Byron Bay, very lovely modern hostel and parking also available. Comfortable beds and spacious room
−If you’re after somewhere more quiet don’t bother staying here. Mainly filled with backpackers who get in at 3/4am and have no regards for anyone else that might be sleeping. Shouting/laughing/talking loudly in the corridors

+The location is good, as are the communal areas.
−The cleanliness of the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen leaves a lot to be desired; the bathrooms are always dirty, particularly the shower area, with lots of hair in the drains, sand on the floor and no soap in the soap dishes.

+- Gute Lage
−- Sauberkeit des Bades im Zimmer (Gemeinschaftduschen und -wc waren okey) - Zimmer und Türen sind sehr hellhörig (es wir schon ziemlich laut morgens und spät am Abend, man hört Türen zuschlagen, Leute im Gang und in anderen Zimmer sprechen) - Sauberkeit im Allgemeinen (Bettlaken waren dreckig, Boden war dreckig bzw. staubig
