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

Do not recommend
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

The forest setting was beautiful but the filth especially in the way that soiled toilet paper was visible on a tour that I took of the camping area. I was trying to run away from the horrible doof music that was playing on my first night there. It was a shame to spoil the quiet with such rubbish. The last night music offering was better. The staff were willing to refund me my money but last minute didn’t so I had to put up with an isolated filthy place. I will not be booking accommodation with you again !

Filthy, disappointing, not worth the money
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…

Hey Legend, Thanks for your feedback. We are so sorry that it wasn't up to our usual standard for you. We clean everything Daily, however obviously our cleaning standards have slipped. We don't have Aircon anywhere, and don't advertise this - however we will be checking all of our listings to make sure that it is not being falsely advertised by a tertiary company. We hope that you got to enjoy Byron outside of this poor experience and would like to apologize again for your bad stay. Thanks again,Arts Team

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.

Very social and comfortable
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!

Jax Van de Scheur 3:09 PM (3 minutes ago) to me Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback for your stay. We always really appreciate feedback from guests (positive and negative) as this is a great way for us to improve on our hostel. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our vibes and your room! In regards to the bathrooms, we do clean them multiple times a day. However with so many guests (as you mentioned) it can get a bit harder to stay on top of this, so your feedback is really appreciated and we will look further into this. And in regards to the fridge breaking, we understand that this was made things a bit difficult, however we have ordered a new one and it will be arriving shortly. So this is almost resolved! But we want to thank you for being so understanding :) We hope you enjoy the rest of your travels and thank you again! Much love, The Arts Factory team

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.
