"If you
can get in the Byron Bay 's Arts Factory, go there it rocks!" - creeky2002
"The
Arts Factory is definitely the coolest hostel in Byron" - Lunny
"The
Arts Factory is definitely the best - so chilled!" - Alice
"The hostel is incredibly laid back, you could spend ages just sitting
around reading and people-watching. There were so many different kinds of people
there, everybody got on with their own thing and got along together. There was
an amazing community feel to the place, the majority of the people who work
there stay there too (or vice versa) so it feels like everybody has some control
over how the place works. It has a very artsy feel to it (the name might suggest
that), plenty of musicians strumming away on guitars, and the inhouse talent
show on the Monday night upstaged many of the live bands we've seen down the
coast so far." - Mark, Ollie and Owen
"The Arts Factory was a great place
to stay with a great veggie restaurant next door specialising in Indian
stuff, very sociable and live bands most nights!" - Daniel

We love The Arts Factory
because of it's lively atmosphere, great selection of rooms, funky activities,
amazing facilities and top location. Plus with lockers in every room and
female-only dorms, they are safety-conscious too and we like that a lot. It's
all you could ever look for in a hostel and more.
