Great central location, although not a good view if that is important to you. Feels kind of “back-alley” but super close to the main shopping area in Byron. Clean, always smelled so good! Was nervous about the noise, being a hostel, but we have a room at the end of the hall and it was always very quiet. Would definitely stay here again!

Staff were wonderful, location was perfect and rooms were clean and well maintained.

Great location and great service, got upgraded to the Cosy Corner, which was much appreciated as we booked for a 5 nights stay. Great room with a beautiful canopy bed. Surprised it was a boutique hotel/hostel as it wasn't mentioned in the description of the hotel but still happy with the premises along with the helpful staff.

This is a lovely Hostel with private rooms. If you are looking for a close walking distance from the beach and a convenient central location this will be best for you The Hostel is in a side street above Aldi not a great view etc but definitely safe and clean. Lots of travellers and young people but if you only needing a room to sleep and mostly out it will be a perfect choice

So convenient and the room we had was a lot better than our expectation. Their staff at the reception were very friendly as well. We would definitely go back!

Rooms were super comfy, really nicely done - all amenities and close to the town

Great boutique hotel and location in Byron

Great location in the heart of Byron. Just know what you're signing up for - a very comfy private room + bathroom within a backpacker hostel. It has a lively atmosphere + fun events with a young clientele overall (I'd say the average age is early/mid 20s). Unfortunately the wifi was really poor for video calls across the 2 nights I stayed there (even in the lobby) and the communal kitchen was always packed and dirty. But a comfortable stay aside from those things!

Private room in a hostel

Vali seems geared towards younger people and backpackers which is fine - however there are certain things that come with that. There seemed to be a smell of vomit in the hallways at one stage and it is quite noisy till the early hours of the morning so can be difficulty if you are a light sleeper. Our room was great, good size and bed was comfy. The shower head was loose and needed fixing and the bathroom was quite tiny for what was a generous sized room.  We were visiting Byron for a wedding so the place was perfect for our needs, very convenient in the heart of town. But my wife did struggle with the noise.

Our stay here was amazing and the staff could not have done a better job at making us feel welcome. The place was clean and very well decorated with really good air con and facilities. The staff were so friendly and they had organised free events for guests most days of the week. We wish we had stayed longer so we could attend them all! They had group walks, a BBQ, trivia night and free boxing classes ect. We attended the walking tour to the lighthouse at sunrise free of charge and even bought us all a coffee/pastry afterwards. If returning to Byron bay I wouldn’t even think about staying anywhere else.

I loved the room was really well set out with nice decor nice comfy bed tv with choices for watching movies. Nice balcony small fridge. Place was great for someone wanting thwir own room snd those wanting to share had big kitchen area and terrace. My room was far from the shared dorms bsthrooms etc which was great.

This hostel is in a great location and overall rooms and facilities are clean.Although having fridges and tables in the dorm rooms encourages people to eat there which can make this area feel messy and unclean. Curtain rail fell down as I was holding it, luckily just missed the head of the person who was stood below! Also didn’t find it a very social hostel as a solo traveller, not many events/activities were put on by the hostel so hard to met people.

We booked the private room suite, and it was very clean and spacious. It had enough storage for two people, and the bathrooms were clean as well. We asked for a hairdryer to be added to the room, and the team was very accommodating.They offered a free boxing class for guests, which is great for boosting physical fitness.The staff and management team were amazing! They are easy to get along with and great to have a chat with.Special mention to Damien and Medard for making our stay an unforgettable experience.

Room was small but clean. Overall the building is noisy.  Constant noise in the hallway and doors opening and closing.  It did quiet down later on but was woken up around 2AM by noisy people in the hall.
