Reviews and Ratings <br />
I had an excellent stay at Aquarius Backpackers! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and I loved the idea of free dinners which brought everyone together. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, although the lack of individual plugs for each bed in my dorm room was a bit of a downside. Overall, the value for money was fantastic, especially with the nightly activities and happy hours that kept things lively.
I had a really enjoyable time at the hostel, especially because of the free dinners and welcome drinks they offered. The location is perfect for exploring Byron Bay. However, the noise from the upstairs rooms can be a bit disruptive, and my private room lacked air-conditioning which made it quite hot during the day. Overall, it's a good choice if you don't mind a bit of noise and are looking for a lively atmosphere.
The hostel is perfectly positioned near the beach, surrounded by great shops, cafes, and restaurants, making it easy to explore Byron Bay. The atmosphere is vibrant, and there's always something happening in the evenings. The rooms are spacious and clean, although the shared bathrooms can be a bit limited. The free dinners are a fantastic bonus, though portions may be small. Overall, it's great value for money, but the party vibe might not suit everyone.
I had a two-day stay at Aquarius Resort hostel that was quite lively yet surprisingly quiet by 10.00 PM. The private room was clean and comfortable, though lacking air conditioning for the price, which was a bit disappointing. The dining facilities were a highlight with generous free meals offered, but the social areas were not inviting. Overall, it’s a decent place for backpackers, especially for those who enjoy a vibrant atmosphere.
My stay at Aquarius Backpackers was a mixed experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and engaging, with fun activities every night, making it easy to socialize. However, cleanliness and comfort were major downsides, especially with issues like inadequate air conditioning and a dirty bathroom. The free dinners were a nice perk, but overall, I expected more from a place with such a high price tag.
