One of my favorite hostels in Australia! The staff is super nice and the atmosphere is great. Daily free breakfast, activities and the little hostel bar made my stay very enjoyable and fun. I stayed in a 10 person mixed dorm with a terrace and it was super easy to make friends there. The location is perfect and the price was super cheap compared to what you get! The only thing I missed was privacy curtains.

I stayed at Aquarius for 4 months and it felt like home! I've made friends for life and would happily return in the future. The reception staff are great (in particular Janni, Paddy & Josi <3) and always went the extra mile to accommodate us

We stayed here for one night with a friend. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, so no complaints about them. Unfortunately, the cleanliness was quite disappointing, especially the shared bathroom and shower. There was a lot of mould in the shower, and it looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned for a long time. For me, having a clean bathroom is essential, even in a shared hostel, and it really put me off using the shower. The breakfast was also very basic compared with other hostels at a similar price, and the kitchen was quite disorganised, making it difficult to find plates, spoons, etc. I think having someone around during breakfast time to keep the kitchen organised and help guests would make a big difference. The hostel has a lot of potential, but better cleaning and organisation would really improve the experience.

out of the ten or so hostels i've stayed in in my life this has been the best by far. the whole place is spacious and beautiful - the common rooms, the dorm rooms, the bathrooms - with high wooden ceilings. the kitchen is VERY well designed. the cleaning is done every day, the staff are wonderfully kind, and there are many wonderful activities provided. i enjoyed the yoga (three times a week), beach volleyball, trivia night, games night (a beer pong competition). the one comment i would make for an improved experience is that there wasn't a space for chill, quiet, non-stimulating activities like reading in the morning. in the common lounge area there is always music playing (sometimes an overlap of two different songs from two areas) and three TVs on (google chrome screensavers while beautiful are still visual noise). i craved a dedicated quite spot or quiet time where the imposed stimulation was less. i stayed 4 nights and i would definitely choose to stay here again if i was in town. thank you aquarius 🙏🏼🌊

stayed in the single story private suite above roca. when finding accomodation for byron bay i found they oscillated between budget hostel dorms and boutique luxury hotels, with the ‘in between’ price point options lacking in vibes and location. to me, this private suite was the best of all worlds. it was well located just a short walk away from everything in central byron, decked out in such a way that felt considered and cute, and priced very reasonably. the bed was comfy, the bathroom spacious and clean. i would easily consider staying here again. if you’re looking for vibey accomodation that doesn’t break the bank, look no further!!!!

I had a really great stay at Aquarius! The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were lovely, but a special thank you to Patrick, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. He went out of his way to help me on several occasions and genuinely made my experience so much easier and more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hostel

Just arriving in Australia I stay at this hostel. Very clean, tidy, well maintained and maintained. The spaces are spacious and comfortable. The people who work here are very friendly, always willing to help in the doubt you have and what you need. I was in a room of 6 only women and a mixed one of 10. Both very comfortable with plenty of space and good coexistence with roommates. Excellent hostel! I recommend it a thousand times either to be here for a few days or weeks.

Amazing stay! The staff are absolutely lovely, friendly and always helpful. The place is beautiful, clean and really well maintained. The location is perfect too — everything you need is within walking distance. Would definitely recommend!
