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. ##### Arthur Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rosa May 4, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness 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. ##### Rosa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Apr 18, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Worst place ever It smelled like weed everywhere and they played loud music, that made it impossible to sleep ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Laurence Jan 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Laurence Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### McKinley Jan 12, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities Everything was great for a hostel.

Les douches sont nettoyées plusieurs fois par jour. Bruyant le soir/nuit car toutes les chambres donnent sur les parties communes. Le wifi n'est pas terrible. A 10min à pied des bus. ##### JUSTINE Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Natsumi Jun 11, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities You can sleep with 🐭 ##### Natsumi Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cozy hostel 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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sauli Apr 13, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Sauli Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shadow Lawn Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-John-Hotels-Shadow-Lawn-Inn.h9997058.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreamweavers Cottages and Vacation Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Rustico-Hotels-Dreamweavers-Cottages-And-Vacation-Homes.h11503860.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Moira Lake Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Madoc-Hotels-Colonial-Inn-Motel.h9844467.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Smithers](https://www.expedia.ca/Smithers-Hotels.d4133.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Dreamcatcher Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Stephenville-Hotels-Dreamcatcher-Lodge.h13141633.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikiki-Honolulu-Hotels.0-n6048741-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Napili Kai Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lahaina-Hotels-Napili-Kai-Beach-Resort.h97621.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [Princess Family Club Bavaro - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Princess-Family-Club.h38331395.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Holguín](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Holguin-Family-Hotel.0-0-d553248633850344177-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Latino - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Costa-Mujeres-Hotels-Riu-Latino-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h80279413.Hotel-Information) > > [Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Montreal-Marriott-Chateau-Champlain.h27637.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Maya Riviera - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Xpu-Ha-Hotels-Barcelo-Maya-Riviera-Adults-Only.h36023215.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/ams/buffalo-to-amsterdam) > > [easyJet](https://www.expedia.ca/EasyJet-Flights.cU2.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Lipjan (PRN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/prn/montreal-to-pristina) > > [Flights from Sechelt (YHS) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhs/yvr/sechelt-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mco/toronto-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/edi/yyc/edinburgh-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Sosúa (POP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/pop/winnipeg-to-puerto-plata) ### Activities > [Things to do in Mahone Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Mahone-Bay.d181853.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General > [Visit Centro Histórico](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Centro-Historico.dx553248633981727802)
