Haven't been to the Arts Factory for quite a few years now. Love the place, its uniqueness in the vanilla of the modern Byron Bay, as well as its proximity to beaches, town etc. The staff were a mixed bunch, the lady that checked me was awesome, friendly, competent and welcoming.Other staff were a mixed bunch with some having little interest and others being somewhat rude. The joint is also looking a bit run down compared to what it was years ago. Would I stay again?, possibly, I hardly spent any time there as I was working at the Mullum Music festival, so if was living the backpacker ( as opposed to traveller) dream perhaps I would stay again.

A really cool hostel but unfortunately a few areas letting them down. The staff are great, welcoming and helpful. The hostel itself is a super fun space. Super cheap and affordable. And a near spot to Byron. However it does not attract the best guests. We found people did not respect the space or other guests. The kitchen area was disgustingly dirty. The 10pm noise curfew was ignored and the pod next to us raved with loud speakers until 2am when we had to personally tell them to turn their music off, after they had been told off by staff several times previously with no consequences enforced. The travellers were generally unfriendly and hostile, which is a shame as could be a brilliant vibe like other hostels if they could implement some new rules or stand up for the place and enforce them.

Truly a unique, enjoyable experience.

We enjoyed out short stay at the Arts Factory. Friendly staff and the vibe in the property was surreal. Definitely a great place to stay for young folks and young at heart.

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 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
