I really like the vibe at Arts Factory Lodge! It is a beautiful, cozy, friendly and artsy place with a lot of young backpackers. It can get a bit loud at times but there is loads of space and a big kitchen fitting many chefs at one go. Also loved the morning yoga! The dorms only have one ceiling light, no individual lamps or power sockets and the wifi isn’t very good in the rooms. But all in all it was a good stay!

Kitchen dirty and not much kitchen utensils and all in bad condition. The beds in the teepee didn't have blanket so it was cold to sleep. Noisy.

ew! worst place ever stayed nothing about it was nice, the bathrooms were vile plasters, mud and hair all over the floors. the room didn’t have an aircon so it was like being in a sauna there was a fan in one corner that you couldn’t move and it just blew out hot air, the bed was rock solid! the kitchen was a mess! if you have a car the parking lot was full of pot holes! it’s about 20 mins walk to the beach

Oil squeaky doors...how can staff not hear them! Bathrooms and Kitchens (due to sloppy customers and food bandit turkeys) need to be checked/cleaned more often.

Myself and a friend decided to stay in the Arts Factory, for a two day stay in Byron Bay. We have been travelling Australia for 4 weeks at this stage and when we turned up we received weird looks, I assume this was due to not looking a certain way, and having suitcases. The hostel is located among a significant amount of greenery (almost forest-like) and is at the end of a road with no street lights, which is very unnerving when walking home late at night. As a result, a car leaving the hostel during the night proceeded to beep and scream at myself and my friend when we were walking home alone in the dark. We stayed in the Cosy Corner, and this was a private room with a sitting room attached. Upon checking in, we noticed that this room was unclean with chewing gum on several walls, dirty sofa, dirty curtains and a bathroom which had mould and no hand soap present. When we entered this room, someone attempted to open the sitting room door, which was very unsettling and the curtains do not close properly, leaving you visible from the bed. This level of cleanliness followed into the shared bathrooms, which were covered in urine. We made the decision to vacate the hostel a night early and rearranged our trip to leave Byron Bay, a day earlier, as this experience tainted our view of Byron Bay as a location. Luckily, the manager agreed to issue a refund for this extra night which we did not stay, which was appreciated. However, I would not recommend staying here

Reception staff were friendly & helpful, location was pretty good but for the price there are so many other places closer to town that would cost around the same. The hostel was filthy, the floors were covered in dust & dirt constantly, the bathroom was cleaned once in the week we were there, the kitchen was absolutely disgusting, bins overflowing, old food sitting out stuck to the sides & dirty plates and pans just sitting in the sink… it would have been fine for a night or 2 but after that we were fed up. No aircon as advertised - just a fan in the room stuck facing the floor… the lights didn’t work in the room either! Wifi barely worked & in the room even the 4G signal was poor. Pool wasn’t cleaned once in the week we were there & full of leaves & debris. Other guests left empty cans/bottles/rubbish around in the communal areas so it was difficult to enjoy the creek view being surrounded by mess… Hugely disappointed as I was looking forward to Byron Bay but the hostel kind of ruined it for me…

Helpful efficient reception staff, helping me to find a bed in different rooms for the remaining three nights when I had problem with the room for the first night. Vibrant atmosphere, with some organised daily activities. Bed was fairly comfortable. Toilet and shower were tidy and reasonably clean.

Tucked away in a quiet part of Byron.... yet a short stroll to everything Great vibe & the Talent Show downstairs was actually good! Large kitchen where many can prep own food together. Nice little cafe. My ONLY issue... I could not get Telstra phone or phone internet to work in my private room (9 downstairs), not in most common area either Only in the carpark.... so as I was WFH 0700 - 1500.... I spent most of my time in my van & not the room I paid for A simple enough fix!

After a long series of lockdowns I was going a bit stir crazy, so a quick and close getaway sounded like a great idea. I arrived to the Arts Factory and instantly I was surrounded by a breath of fresh air. The warm welcoming community spirit of the backpacker community whisked me away and transported me to the times of international free travel. Once again I was socialising with people from all over the world, the most kind hearted, considerate and accepting group of people who are still living the dream. I recommend anyone who is sick and tired of dealing with the opinions, politics and restrictions of this pandemic go book yourself in and embrace the individualist yet accepting culture that the people at the Arts Factory have retained.

Interesting vibe, lots going on at the lodge and can see why it’s so popular. We had a private room with tea & coffee and it was pretty nice. The bathrooms were not in a great state which you’d expect from a busy hostel but 2 blocked toilets for a good portion of the day. One fridge was out so everyone’s food was crammed into the two remaining ones, not helped by leaking liquids on the top shelf running into everyone else’s food, but that’s more a guest comment than the hostel. The staff were great and it was awesome to have a shuttle to the bus stop!

It was loud at night from the neighboring brewery. The double rooms on the ground floor had little natural light and were very narrow. The opening of the room door was very cumbersome to open with an app and mobile phone. The app often did not work because the WIFI reception was very bad. The manual code entry was bad. But the Pool was awesome.

Stayed for 3 nights as part of a solo trip. Overall stay was great! Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Lots of fun activities everyday, open space, kitchen area and awesome pool. Stayed in a 6 bedroom dorm, smaller than expected but the bed was super comfortable. I didn't sleep too well the first night as it was really cold but the reception is happy to provide extra comfy blankets for free. In terms of the cleanliness - its not as disgusting/dirty as some of the other reviews claim and is pretty much what you expect from a backpacker hostel full of young adults. The workers do a great job of consistently cleaning the toilets and showers every morning. My biggest complaint would be the noise levels at night, but again its to be expected with the Byron night life/party scene and isn't necessarily the hostel's fault. Also, its a 10 minute walk from the town but they do provide a shuttle service in the day. Overall a great stay and would recommend as an affordable place to stay with good vibes!

The Expedia site said there was a hot tub , THERE IS NO HOT TUB , the shower drain clogged up and I had water filling up the shower floor like a bath tub all The hooks to Hang your towels on the back of the door we’re broken, no where dry or clean to put your clean stuff after you have your shower ... I was told I could stay for $15 a night if I pay a week stay on check in , then when I checked out and confirm the $15 per night for 7 nights stay 2ic said no that’s wrong and I had to inform her I was told this on check in. And on top of all That when I went to go check out and explained all this to the 2ic she had a rude attitude about all this and said what do you expect me To do about all this... will never stay again and would not recommend to anyone, I usually do reviews but I can’t do one on this place as it would be a bad review And I rather talk to 2ic so they can improve on these things
