All hostels in Byron Bay
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Great location, walking distance to beaches, greyhound bus, cafes, restaurants.... Surfboard rental in the hostel (20aud/6 hours), very clean, very good amenities, great showers with shower gel, shampoo etc.. quite big room (4 bed dorm).. There are so many crappy hostels in Australia... This one is a great exception! Best hostel in Australia so far!

    The hostel is pretty new, so there is some space for improvement, but as the manager told us they are working on it to make Vali the best hostel in byron! Everything is really clean and it’s very easy to meet new people there. Overall a really good place to spend your time in the middle of byron. Special thanks to Tassilo for being the best receptionist!

    perfect place - great location, spacious unit & balconies, and super clean and friendly onsite managers. easy stroll into town (best not to stay in town - busy, noisy and like a backpackers hostel), and a few minutes walk to beautiful safe beach.
