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.

Everything was great for a hostel. Only complain is some of the workers were rude.
Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025

4/10

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.

My first experience at a backpackers - enjoyed the vibe and the staff were super helpful. The cafe has excellent coffee (that’s coming from a Melbourne coffee snob) and breaky at affordable prices.

A good stay with reasonable price. Good location if you go there by coach. Have own lounge. You can drop your bags before check-in and after checkout. Staffs are nice.

I really like the vibe at Arts Factory Lodge! It is a beautiful, cozy, friendly and artsy place with a lot of young backpackers. It can get a bit loud at times but there is loads of space and a big kitchen fitting many chefs at one go. Also loved the morning yoga! The dorms only have one ceiling light, no individual lamps or power sockets and the wifi isn’t very good in the rooms. But all in all it was a good stay!

Helpful efficient reception staff, helping me to find a bed in different rooms for the remaining three nights when I had problem with the room for the first night. Vibrant atmosphere, with some organised daily activities. Bed was fairly comfortable. Toilet and shower were tidy and reasonably clean.

Beautiful hostel with good vibes, the room was perfectly clean, quiet during the night, the bathrooms were ok, the shared kitchen is big, well equipped and pretty clean ! Very hippie vibes, a little bit to much for me but it’s very personal :)

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.

Everywhere was dirty and unclean. Got bitten in the night.

Everything was excellent, the painting was lovely, apart from a small down side which was that the property was not sound proof and it was very noisy at night.
