Great kitchen and common area/terrace, clean, great private bathroom in our room. Great shower. Chilled atmosphere. Not a typical party hostel, that’s great.

Absolutely loved my stay at Wake Up Byron Bay! This hostel has the most perfect location, right on the beach. Our room and all the common areas were super clean. 10/10 recommended!! Special thank you to Zoe at reception!! She helped us check in after our flight got canceled and made sure everything was set for our stay in Byron. Great customer service from her and overall a wonderful stay.

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.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location- walking distance to everything. Friendly, helpful staff and nice clean facilities and rooms. The pool area was also very nice, as well as plenty of outdoor and indoor eating/ chilling space. Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far!
