Horrible and dirty
Way overpriced and so dirty even the staff avoids the bathrooms. The management is unfriendly, unhelpful, and really seems annoyed at you if you ask any questions about the hostel. It's so loud at night not an hour goes by that you don't hear someone yelling at someone else to be quiet. Too many other less expensive, nicer hostels in Byron. Avoid this hostel.

Disappointing
Who wants to pay 33 dollars for a sixteen-bed dorm without toilets (while the common toilets don't look like being cleaned too often)?

Wouldn't recommend it
Rooms were way too cramped and i got bitten by bedbugs. The toilets were skank and the floor was always wet. The blokes bathroom stank out the whole place and smelt like it hadn't been cleaned it ages. The staff weren't particularly friendly or helpful. Good points were the big, well-equipped kitchen; how close it is to everything; and the atmosphere, but that might have just been because it was Australia Day.

Disgusting
Couldn't sleep as couldn't stop itching, had to sleep with clothes on, and when I woke up in the morning had bites on me on places where my clothes didn't cover. Cramped rooms, poor security, kitchen disgusting, by far the worst hostel I have stayed in in Australia.

Ok
This hostel is ok if you want to party all night and not sleep. Although the common areas are closed at 11 p.m., sometimes people still linger about -- plus we had noisy neighbours on the second night and hardly slept at all. It's a good location and there's a travel desk plus free pick-ups.
