I will preface this review with: Do not stay at this hostel if you enjoy having copious amounts of space and privacy. With that being said, the Main Beach Backpackers Hostel is located very centrally in Byron Bay. It is close to various shops and not even a five minute walk from the main beach. It costs $30 a night... More

We spent one night here in a private room which are very basic. The mattress was so thin you could feel the bars underneath and every time you rolled over, the bed squeaked so bad it'd wake you up! There was partying in the common areas until about 5am and worst than that we literally had people using the corridor... More

We got the cheapest room, which wasn't that cheap -28 for a 16 bed dorm. We were put in a room and then told by everyone that the room we were in a few nights before someone had pooed in the middle of the floor -and they are still charging 28 for it. It was quite dirty, the curtains were... More

Very nice hostel with big kitchen, pool, rooftop, big lounge room. It's very close to the beach (2 min walk) and maybe 10 min walk from the bus station. The room has a locker and it's was clean. You have also internet for free !!!

I never write reviews, but had to as this is definitely the worst hostel I've been at - booked Room 1, double room. The whole place is pretty dirty outside, empty beer bottles lying around everywhere. When we went inside our room we saw a mattress without countless unknown stains, a blanket with a big brown dried patch in the... More

I chose this backpackers due to its location...but this was a really bad choice. With Aquarius Backpackers across the road, there is no reason to stay here. Cleanliness was non-existent and while the staff were friendly, that is the only other positive that I could say about the place.

I am an avid traveler and this was easily the worst hostel I have ever been in. The bathrooms and the kitchen were disgusting. There was no reinforcement as to cleaning up after yourself. Every dish was dirty and there was literally food on the floor. There was even a banana peel on the floor of the reception area. I... More

Stayed here on lonely planets recommendation. Positives = good location, friendly staff, good off street parking, reasonable value. Stayed in a double room ensuite. Room smelt of mould or damp. No ventilation. Very noisy location right on the main street. Whole room could do with serious refurbishment. Would probably have nicer bathrooms in prison. Only stay here if you're not... More

I stayed in Byron Bay for a 5 Days whilst travelling the East Coast with Two Friends we're all from the UK. We stayed in a 16 Bed Dorm but as It was quite a quiet time of year only half the dorm was full most of the time. The Staff are all very friendly and we had a really... More
