The location and staff are also friendly .

Nothing

Probably the worst hostel I've ever stayed in. I stayed in a private room which wasn't cheap; it not only didn't match the description or photos, but it was filthy. There was hair and dirt everywhere. The bathroom was grimly. I would safely say that the bed was made, however the room wasn't actually cleaned properly in ages. Cobwebs throughout the room, Layers of dust on the fan, Mould on the small fridge in the room. Walls are super thin so you could everything from the room next door. The outside area is very loud with music supposedly stopping at 10. Music was still being played at 3am. I couldnt connect to the wifi in the room. The main kitchen was disgusting, with the sinks full of dirty dishes, the fridges were stuffed and looked disgusting. The whole hostel needs a major deep clean and chaotic free for all atmosphere as the staff seem to be nonexistent.

toilets weren’t clean, kitchen wasn’t clean, food got stolen, and rooms were too hot. don’t stay here if you’re not a hippy

cost wasn’t too bad compared to other places

came with my partner in a private room for 2 nights for a wedding. Entering the room it was extremely small but not a issue, we just didn’t like there was a dirty cup and spoon left in the room from the last people, it was noisy and we had random drunk people trying to get in our room multiple times when we was sleeping. Definitely not good for couples at all (backpackers only!) also there was no air con so very hot in the room. We felt so uncomfortable we even looked for other accommodation as we didn’t really want to spend 2 nights there.

My sheets were not changed or I was not offered a clean bottom sheet and I stayed for 9 nights, I would have been happy to change it myself.

Rooms too hot with just a ceiling fan or have bigger windows to allow more drafts. Or if the ceiling fan was in the centre of the room where it was equal would have been a lot better. Shared kitchen...The cupboards and fridge spaces needs to be allocated to people on check in and given a box or bag with their name and check out date so food can be thrown out not just left there to rot and take up space or some system. in place, fill to overflowing. And I am not sure what you do with the lazy guests that don't clean up after themselves after cooking and eating and putting their smokes out in used dishes. Puts a downer on the overall stay, More than one soap dispenser in the shared loos upstairs, hooks to hang your bag up behind the toilet doors and in the shower as you need somewhere for your clean clothes or toilet bag, The whole place was always cleaned every day including the carpark area pool to it never looked dirty, just untidy due to lazy guests, dumping their rubbish, its a shame as I guess they treat the rest of Australia like that when they are travelling around, a few spoil it for the rest of the overseas travellers.

staff were very accommodating, upgraded room due to miscommunication with booking.com

the kitchen was very dirty, not many bathrooms

amazing. way better experience than any other hostel

Beds were comfortable

The room very hot inside Showers dirty Kitchen dirty Wifi didn't work

very good coffee

No or bad internet connection hard to get in touch with people the doors slam by itselfs and it gets very loud female bathroom wasn‘t that clean

Good location - 15 mins walking distance to the centre of Byron Bay and it’s beaches. Friendly staff. Great place to meet new people. Many facilities like a garden, pool, volleyball field etc. Overall, we would recommend the Arts Factory Lodge.

The kitchen was often very dirty and people didn’t clean up their dishes. It also seemed a bit small for that many people. The communal bathrooms were unacceptable at some times. (Our room was clean though.) Wall and ceiling of out private room seemed liked they could use a new layer of paint. It was quite loud at night and people didn’t stick to the 10 p.m. quiet time on the weekend.

the beds weren’t completely uncomfortable there was yoga in the morning

it was filthy with turkeys roaming around the kitchen the staff were rude and unhelpful the doors of the rooms don’t lock there are no charging ports near the beds, just 2 for the room at the door (even though it says there are in the description) everyone (staff included) smoke weed all day and in the eating area If you book a dorm, chances are you’ll ended up in a tent

Good location and relaxed vibes

The bathroom needs a renovation, the toilet was leaking water

location was very good and staff very friendly

music playing until 3.30am and then starting up again at 08.30. wall’s paper thin and communal showers and toilets

Location was kinda close to the beach and that there was a pool

The rooms where extremely hot and small for the amount we paid for and our bedding had blood on the sheets.

close enough to town to walk in

There were not enough bathrooms and they were not cleaned enough Very noisy with music playing all the time even late at night.

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.
