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 isnāt 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 didnāt have an aircon so it was like being in a sauna there was a fan in one corner that you couldnāt 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! itās 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

My first experience at a backpackers - enjoyed the vibe and the staff were super helpful. The cafe has excellent coffee (thatās coming from a Melbourne coffee snob) and breaky at affordable prices.

A good stay with reasonable price. Good location if you go there by coach. Have own lounge.
You can drop your bags before check-in and after checkout. Staffs are nice.

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 sinkā¦ 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 floorā¦ the lights didnāt work in the room either! Wifi barely worked & in the room even the 4G signal was poor. Pool wasnāt 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 messā¦
Hugely disappointed as I was looking forward to Byron Bay but the hostel kind of ruined it for meā¦

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.
