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

Great boutique hotel and location in Byron

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.

New owners. New experience.

Having stayed at the property regularly over the last 5 years, it pains me to say that since the new ownership group have taken over, the place has changed for the worse. No daily cleaning, change of towels, housekeeping. Backpacker vibe has returned and it is very much a party hotel with loud music and conversations in hallways until sunrise. Hotel rates for a backpacker experience. Unfortunately, will not be staying here again.

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!

Location, Staff, Vibe

Cleanliness of the room was poor

Friendly staff and nice room

Private room in a hostel

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!

It was perfect.

Value for money and great location

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

Could do with a microwave in private rooms. Also, a clothes airer in rooms that have a balcony. Overall, a great stay. Friendly staff, excellent amenities. Clean, safe and a lovely little community.

Excellent location Nice and clean and bright rooms Friendly staff specially at the reception area.

The smells coming from the communal kitchen are not good. I suggest better extraction in there. Had to walk passed from my room to the stairs. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful

Interesting as it seems a lot of rooms were being converted to backpacker/pod style accommodation. Should be good once renovation completed.

Great place close to town and beach, as well as bus station. Friendly staff and good facilities.

Excellent value for money!! Excellent location!! Friendly staff, well presented.. Will 💯 rebook in the future

Great location right in the town. No need for car. Walk everywhere. Lovely staff made our stay delightful.

Convenience most importantly ability to take our dogs. It was safe and secure. The fees for the dogs $50 per dog per day was a bit rich. We were left the room in very good condition better than how we got it. Would stay there again. Management was excellent.

Great hostel

Very friendly staff especially Damien. Very clean everywhere.

It is value for money

Noisy room hear everything in the hallway not to mention the two bands close by

Button Bay roadtrip

Bryon Bay was amazing- location was central and easy to walk. Parking was offered and easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice clean hotel.

I will stay at Vali Byron again mainly because the staff are all so wonderfully helpful and welcoming.

Location

We will now stay here whenever we come to Byron!

The staff were friendly and the room was immaculately clean. Such a comfortable bed and the functions available on the massive television for casting was a so useful! As for the location - perfection!

Lovely folks at checkin made our stay comfortable and pleasant

Special thanks to Damien and Tassilo for the nice check in and check out experience

hotel situated in a dirty laneway !

Staff were very helpful, toilets and showers were clean and fresh

It was centrally located. Easy walk to the main beach And dining. Staff were very helpful. The only draw back was the payed parking on top of the accommodation fees. But that was across the board around Byron Bay. So all in all a good few days. 😁.

The room was nice. Staff didn’t clean our room.

It was a lovely place but should've been made clear that it's a hostel and not a hotel.

great

Great staff, Brooke was really helpful ! Rooms are great and very spacious. Balcony is a plus. A lot of free amenities and events such a massages, movies, boxing classes, etc… Great stay overall !!

The location is perfect. We didn’t use the car all we just walked everywhere.

When we got to our room there was sand in our bed on the very first day, didn't think the bed sheets had been changed out, other guests are very noisy running through the halls at night yelling or talking loudly coming back from partying, staff are friendly and helpful

Dirty condom and cans under the bed, toilet paper in the bed. And couldn’t find a garbage shoot or bin. So we left a rubbish in boxes. Wouldn’t have even complained about this but I got charged a cleaning fee when clearly it wasn’t clean before us.

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.

Exceptional room

This was a great accommodation. I stayed across from the women’s washroom and it had a squeaky door. The 6 bed room had a fridge and tv in it, which was very convenient.

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.

I have nothing to complain about, this is a really nice hostel/hotel. The ensuite room has a big tv that you can connect to the room. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Noice fromboutside was very loud on a Friday night but that is expected when you live in the centre of Byron. I recommend!

Great location, good for short stay

Beautiful renovated hotels however rooms are already showing signs of wear and need better cleaning. My room had coffee/liquid stains on the floor and bathroom was in need of a deep clean

Nice and lovely place

.

Fantastic. I stayed in one of the private rooms - I’d highly recommend Vali to anyone visiting Byron Bay.

Good property, very very good location but other than that it’s just ur standard room

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.

Great Place to stay

Great place to stay in Byron Bay, friendly staff and clean rooms

It looks like a really nice hostel but it’s lacking the essentials. The beds have curtains but they don’t go all around and are lumpy. No individual lights, power sockets or towels which you’d expect given the price. Bathrooms were clean however sometimes no loo roll for hours. The free bbq was great but some music or games would have made it more social. There’s outdoor space they could be making use of. Reception staff were lovely and very helpful. I would stay again.

Great location and staff.

I love their fashionable lobby. Especially couches.

Clean and stylish accomodation. All staff are friendly. I strongly reccomend.

Nice staff and great location

This hotel is in the perfect location, right in town centre! Parking is only $15 and multiple entry in and out of the car park. Joanna on the front desk was so helpful and friendly. Will absolutely be staying here again next time Im in Byron!

Great 2 day stay. Mix up about free parking, hotels.com got it wrong. But, great location, clean rooms, high end equipment and shampoo etc. Cant fault this hotel. Didnt realise they had dorms so basically a hostel but no noise. Thank you Damian the manager, we will return

Be aware that you have constant door slamming which is a major problem if you want to sleep! It’s loud and stops late at night and starts again early. Pity. The room we had was tiny but clean . Bathroom products very nice! Super close to centre…

Lovely staff and perfect room

Amazing staff

It was absolutely terrible the other guests were so loud until at least 245am I had no sleep and absolutely so annoyed and angry at the fact that I paid a lot of money to not even beable to sleep , never again !!!!!’

Nice surprise great location trendy

Affordable and luxurious

Really wonderful experience. The manager was extremely helpful and attentive to my needs. All the staff members were friendly and gave excellent advice about local areas to check out. I loved the location and free parking, super important in Byron. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Perfect position. We were in a Queen roome with our own bathroom Clean with a lovely decor especially in the foyer. Laundry was clean with free washing machines and dryers that were easy to operate. Under cover parking was great. My favourite thing was the bench and stools on our balcony.

Great location, fair price

Great location, fair price, and very friendly staff! Highly recommend.

Would stay again.

Great place in a central location. For the cost, it's a great option to stay in central Byron Bay.

Great location, very clean, beautifully styled and staff were amazing!

Fantastic location, immaculately clean

Front desk staff were very friendly, the place was immaculately clean, the bed was very comfortable. The location was perfect, just above Aldi and walking distance to everything within a few minutes. Pillows were uncomfortable which was the only downside. Wouls definitely stay again and highly recommend

Location was great

The lady at the front desk was very nice & helpful. The room was lovely, clean & modern.
