We stayed in the private double room and it was so nice! Lovely decor, clean & provided toiletries, tea/coffee/milk in the room which was very convenient! The walls were pretty thin so pack ear plugs if your wanting a peaceful sleep as it is a hostel on the 1st floor we could hear lots of people in the night/morning. The decor of the lobby is really cool too and great location in the middle of Byron!

Rooms are very clean. Staff are excellent and very friendly and eager to help answer any questions. The property is in central Byron, very close to all the shops and bars, etc. The rooms are a little noisy, you can hear the doors opening from either a fire door or the common area toilets being opened at all hours of the night.
