Didn't mind this hostel but didn't love it. Great location only 2 minutes from the beach and not bad sized rooms (4 bed dorm). Didn't actually pay to stay here, I kipped on my friends floor as I left it too late and all the hostels in Byron were full. But from what I experienced the floor was pretty comfy... More

Literally 1 minute from the sea, but protected from beach which is good. Small pool and volleyball court - nice but unused in the 3 nights I stayed there. Outside centre of Byron bay but only 10 minutes to centre. Good showers, well-equipped kitchen, can rent body/surf boards cheapish. Some good deals BBQ/beer/free drink/club entry for $10. Buses to and... More

I am don't do back packers often, but my collegue wanted to stay here. Staff and patrons friendly. No rooms with ensuites. People were smoking on verandahs making rooms a bit smelly. The bolts on many of the showers and toilets were broken. Close to town, beach and facilities

I don't do hostels so often, but this one was great! Friendly atmosphere, clean restrooms and kitchen and very close to the beach! Quite noisy during the night but whatever, it's normal in a hostel! And if you wanna go to the city centre, just 5 minutes walking.

Really enjoyed my stay at backpackers inn. Generally clean rooms, showers and toilets decent, nice pool and gardens. kitchen could use some new pots pans knives etc but generally ok and plenty provided for all to use. Great access to the beach just out the back and short walk into town.

A really nice beach access that makes the pool useless. Nice hammocks and a good backyard. Need to bring your own sleeping bag or hire one. Showers and toilets are old but acceptable. Free pickups and drop offs at the bus station, but it is so close that there is actually no need to do so.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Pretty decent hostel, friendly staff and quite close to all the amenities in town. Quite annoying that the kitchen closed for a full hour during the day, not that.big of a kitchen so think half an hours sufficient. Also TV room wasn't available, could've done with done entertainment as the weather was so bad!! Liked... More
