Her er den opdaterede anmeldelse: Fantastisk hostel med god stemning og komfortable faciliteter Jeg havde fornøjelsen af at bo på dette hostel og var super glad for mit ophold. Jeg havde en seng på en sovesal i et mixed værelse. Selvom jeg måske ville have foretrukket et værelse kun for mænd, blev det opvejet af, at hver seng havde et gardin, man kunne trække for, hvilket gav en følelse af privatliv. Sengen var behagelig, og der var aircondition, så temperaturen var perfekt til at sove i. Der var også helt stille – ingen larm udefra – hvilket gjorde det let at få en god nattesøvn. En ekstra detalje, som jeg satte stor pris på, var, at der var et stik lige ved hovedpuden, så man kunne oplade sin mobil om natten. Fællesfaciliteterne var i top. Der var et køkken med mulighed for at opbevare og lave mad. Desværre var alle fem køleskabe fyldt helt op, så der er klart brug for to-tre ekstra køleskabe for at give alle gæster plads til deres madvarer. Bad og toiletforholdene var helt i orden – rene, pæne og funktionelle. Hostellet har også en skøn terrasse og en hyggelig opholdsstue, hvor man kan slappe af og møde andre rejsende. Aldi ligger lige overfor, hvilket er perfekt, hvis man vil handle ind og lave sin egen mad i stedet for at spise ude. Det er en god måde at spare penge på, når man rejser. Stemningen på hostellet var fantastisk – livlig og venlig. Gæsterne var overvejende i alderen 20-25 år, men selvom jeg er 56 år, følte jeg mig på ingen måde udenfor. Personalet og de andre gæster var åbne og imødekommende, hvilket gjorde mit ophold ekstra behageligt. Det er virkelig et sted, hvor man føler sig velkommen, uanset alder. Jeg vil fremhæve den utrolige service, jeg fik fra rejseguiden i foyeren. Hun hjalp mig med at sammensætte et komplet program for tre ugers aktiviteter, inklusive hoteller, transport og oplevelser. Hun tog sig af alle de praktiske detaljer og sørgede samtidig for, at det hele blev til en rimelig pris. Selve servicen kostede ikke noget

Ulemper ved opholdet • For få køleskabe: De fem køleskabe var konstant fyldt op, så der var ikke plads til, at alle gæster kunne opbevare deres mad. Der er behov for mindst to-tre ekstra køleskabe. • Defekt dørhåndtag: Dørhåndtaget til handicaptoilettet på 1. sal var i stykker, hvilket skabte besvær for dem, der skulle bruge det.

The bed was comfy and felt private!

The yoga teacher was ill so unfortunately there was no activities which I was gutted about! It would have been nice to give yoga alternatives or add a bbq/beach walk activity during the day instead. In the evening they just said “meet at this bar” - but as a solo traveller I think it could have been good to all meet in the hostel for a drink beforehand to meet people. I also booked a 4 bedroom female only room but I do think it’s quite silly how the room was right next to male toilets and other mixed rooms, so had to walk quite awhile to get to the female toilets and showers!

- ruhiges Hostel - gut ausgestattete Küche

- Je nachdem, wo sich das Zimmer befindet, sind die Wege etwas weiter zum Bad und zur Toilette, da es diese nur einmal auf der Etage gibt.

It was good

Our room had a funky smell on arrival and didn’t like how you could hear everything in the hall way

El lugar excelente, el personal súper predispuesto, excelente ubicación, todo con una energía hermosa. Las habitaciones limpias, camadas cómodas, muchas almohadas, cocina con todos los servicios. Un 10/10

Beautiful property in the heart of Byron Bay. The staff were friendly and the amenities were stunning. The private room had a King size bed and the room was spacious!

Good location. Can walk to most of the shops and restaurants and beach.

This is not the same Vali in used to stay at and won’t stay here again. It felt more down market. Which is a shame as I like the location. I’ve stayed here many times in the past with my dog and up until this last stay, was always satisfied. Knowing that I was traveling with a pet, they always had a dog bed, blanket, bowls with nice silicone mat, and a bag of dog treats. After informing them twice before my arrival, when I got to my room, no dog bed, bowls or treats. When they delivered the bed, still no treats. The place has more of a university dorm /hostel now. The place was crawling with 20-something surfer types. The love had way too much furniture and the feel of an rec room. Saw a young couple go into one on the public showers together…hmmm. While the room was clean, under the bed hasn’t been dusted in quite a while. I only discovered this after dropping something and had to look under the bed for it. 🤢 The hallways had food crumbs near the shared kitchen that were there all day. The lift interior floor hadn’t been vacuumed all day. The day I was leaving there was a big delivery of furniture flat packs. Because there’s no freight lift, they had to use the hotel lift and had to share/wait for the lift. They ripped the carpet with the boxes and smashed the mirror panels. Sticky tape was out over the sharp exposed cracks. Bottom line, the lift looked like s—t. When I checked in, I asked to have my parking ticket validated. He took it, then gave it back. Only when I was leaving did I discover he hadn’t. I had to back out from thr gate, park, and return to the desk to get the ticket validated.. While there, I asked if they still included dog treats. I was told they don’t anymore because the Vali was moving away from being pet friendly and moving in the direction of being a hostel. 😲 With this new information, not only is the Vali no longer good value for money, I have no a reason to go to Byron with my dog.
