YHA Byron Bay

Very disappointing experience – not worth the price We stayed at YHA Byron Bay in a private room and paid AUD 200 for one night, which is completely unjustified given the experience. The private rooms are surrounded by common areas, which were extremely noisy until very late at night. Despite booking a private room specifically to rest, it was impossible to sleep due to constant noise, conversations, and general activity right outside the room. (406) On top of that, the air conditioning was not working, making the room uncomfortable and adding to a very poor night overall. Between the heat and the noise, we literally did not sleep at all. For a hostel that charges this price for a private room, we expected basic comfort, proper sound insulation, and functional amenities. None of these were met. We are very disappointed and feel that this stay did not reflect the standards nor the pricing of YHA. We hope management takes this feedback seriously and considers a gesture or compensation, as this experience was far from acceptable.

This hostel is not social at all. If you want to meet cool people, don’t come here. Also, the staff was very rude to me. I spoke to the manager about it, but she did not believe that her “super friendly” staff would not behave like that. I didn’t feel like i was taken seriously. Bathrooms were not clean, but the kitchen was very good.

Great private rooms, share space is kept clean and tidy with multiple great kitchens, bathroom is big and spacious Place is clean, rooms are comfy with aircon and comfy beds Right in the heart of town can walk anywhere

Fine hostel with clean facilities. That’s it. Nice pool as well, staff is friendly. But all and all it was pretty boring. Quiet, not a real common area, people were mostly absorbed in there own world. Rooms were fine but not a lot of space
