My partner and I spent 4 days after the Christmas holidays in this place in a private room, and we really loved our stay here! As soon as we arrived, the staff welcomed us in a very friendly manner, the check-in took no more than 2min, but they spent around 10min explaining to us all the activities we could do in the area. The hostel runs a free shuttle-bus that will take you to town every hour, or you can decide to do a 20-min walk on the beach which you will not regret (we actually walked every time, as it is a really enjoyable walk, and Belongil is a pet-friendly beach, so you can always play with the dogs who go there for a quick swim).Christina and Sam were very friendly, they offered us to take a couple of paddle boards to the beach for free (3 hour hire or so, but it was totally worth it). There is a restaurant/bar right next to the hostel called Treehouse on Belongil, they offer good pizzas, the place is nicely decorated and play some nice tunes, with a good party-vibe; it's an excellent option if you want to avoid going back to town for dinner on one night. The room itself had pretty much everything a regular hotel will offer, a nicely decorated room, good A/C, clean bathroom/toilets and comfy beds. Will definitely come back to this place in the future and recommend it to anyone who comes to Byron Bay.

We had a good time. The kitchen closed at 10pm.

Super easy check in, clean queen room with ensuite with room cleaning service, comfortable bedding and large space. Will definitely stay again!

My stay was very enjoyable with plenty of advise and help with requests. The place was kept very clean especially the amenities being cleaned three times a day.The free bus service to and from the town was well organised and came in very handy.Over all a well run place.

Booked a double room, but the hotel changed it to a twin room hoping I wouldn’t notice. Kitchen needs improving.

Great facilities and location. Shuttle bus service was really helpful.

Very nice clean and friendly hostel! I super recommend it! Staff very friendly

Wake Up! is a really good hostel chain. I also stayed at their location in Sydney and this one is very well run as well. They have events such as free wine and cheese night. I had a private room which was nice because it had a sink in the room. The location is a little far from the town center, but they have shuttles running back and forth all day long. Overall, I'd recommend the place.

There were chairs right outside our room which the staff and others used before 8 to video chat with people which was super annoying. One night because we were on the way to the kitchen a girl tried to climb through our window, I don’t see this as a hostel issue just a strange experience. The bike and surfboards being free hire was awesome! Their pancake breakfast is super slow, they need a flat top grill or to use the bbqs with a flat grill on them for it. It was too slow and stopped all other kitchen traffic. More cold storage would be ideal too. This hostel is giant for having only one kitchen.

Stayed in a private room and overall disappointed given the amount we paid for the stay.Pros: beautifully decorated common areas. Regular free shuttles into Byron. Free bike hire. Nice laid back atmosphere in the hostel. Cons: Really expensive! Shared bathrooms were pretty dirty - blocked toilets, loo roll all over the shower cubicles etc. Ants everywhere in our room! Tried to go to reception to ask for some bug spray but no one was there for over 20 mins so we just left it (that was in the late evening). Overall for the price (For a private double room) i’d go somewhere else in Byron.

The bike and surfboard hire was good. Excellent customer service

Wake Up is really close to the beach, has everything needed, and is great for a chilled and relaxed stay. It’s a 15min walk into town, though there’s regular free shuttle buses to help with that. It’s definitely not a party venue, it’s just low key and good place to meet a few new people and chill.
