The property is newly refurbished, spotlessly clean, and offers very comfortable beds. The staff are amazing, and its convenient location makes it ideal, just a short 10-minute walk to the beach.

The location is very nice, a short way to the beach and directly in the town. The kitchen was big and had everything I needed. I stayed in a 6 Room bed and we had our own bathroom.

Great hostel with great facilities, clean, good vibe and great social options. Free yoga and surfboard hire is a great plus. Bit further out from town but shuttle runs every hour and it is still walkable. Probably the best hostel we have stayed in 3 months of travel.

The best hostel I've booked to date. They put a lot of effort into maintaining a VERY clean, safe, comfortable and relaxing environment for all guests. Location couldn't be any better, literally just outside is one of the best brunch places in Byron (may I say the best). Staff all lovely. Facilities great and functioning. You meet some great people that are staying there. 10/10!

The whole vibe at the arts factory is amazing. There’s a big courtyard where you find heaps of facilities to chill, work out and socialize. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds. Also the bathrooms were clean.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location- walking distance to everything. Friendly, helpful staff and nice clean facilities and rooms. The pool area was also very nice, as well as plenty of outdoor and indoor eating/ chilling space. Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far!
