Best location if you’re wanting to stay in the centre of Byron with walking distance to all cafes, restaurant, beach etc. the 2 bedroom room was clean and tidy, beds comfortable, aircon crisp, included kitchenette with fridge and sink, lounge and desk area with parking for your car directly in front of the unit. My only recommendation is including a sign on the bathroom soap to explain you had to squeeze it to dispense, it took us a while to figure it out and concerned people will break the dispenser if you can’t figure it out too.

The bed was saggy and very worn in. The kitchen was ok. I’ve stayed at much classier hotels for less money downtown Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
The room was clean.
The neighbors came in drunk and loud at 2:30am and woke us and our other neighbors. The noise was like they were right in our room.
Later on, I could here him through the walls vommitting!
I would not recommend this motel to anyone

Bathroom could be cleaner and more modern, get shot of the mouldy shower curtain!
The room, 9, was obviously converted from a previous reception room and was odd in layout and confusing for guests who came to our door thinking it was the reception. Generally the room needs a good refresh and the photos when booking need to be more accurate to the room.

Overpriced motel in Byron Bay. Bathroom was in very bad shape and there were lot of ants and they did not even bother to apply some insect spray. When I complained to reception , responded saying it’s because of wet weather. Pathetic experience after paying premium money for stay.

Worst part is nobody available after 7 pm to address this kind of issue so incase of emergency you rely on so called security service which is chargeable service as on call.

Do not waste your money, go find better place to stay.

The location was great! Very close to the beach and shops. We were there during Cyclone Alfred and due to weather we couldn’t get out much because of high winds and rain. Shops had closed down with a couple of cafes open, much to our relief. As a result we were confined to our room for long periods. We had several power cuts and in TOTAL darkness!! There was only one comfortable seat, two plastic miss-matched chairs so sitting on bed for comfort. We paid £608 for 5 nights and despite the Cyclone I believe it to be overpriced. I used small towels to soak up the defrosting fridge in power cuts and had to ask for fresh ones as a result. Limited contact from from hotel reception.

Great budget style accommodation. Fabulous location, 5 minutes walk to all the main dining, bars and beach. Would have been helpful to have flyscreens on the windows so we could keep the windows open to let fresh air in, or maybe a ceiling fan to circulate the air. Shower could do with an ungrade and bathroom was a bit small. Beds were super comfy.

Could be very noisy at night due to drunks outside, but probably bad luck. Absolutely great staff at reception, good place, close to everything. I had my best time in Byron

The parking is tight, the bed is like the old grey sway back mare, and ants on the kitchenette counter. Inconvenience of checking in at the Waves with no parking lot for check in. Do not be fooled by the picture - curtains falling off runner track and a pathetic pull down window shade.

From the outside this motel looks quite old but we were pleasantly surprised once inside. Room has been nicely renovated, very comfortable with lounge area & kitchenette. Walking distance to the beach and the heart of Byron Bay.

Firstly because the Hibiscus motel is what the reception staff said as being the budget section of the Waves Hotel the staff treated you like asecond class citizen. There was an A4 size sign high up on a post telling you to go round corner to the Hotel to checkin not good. I have slight mobility issues the step to get in door of unit was over 300cm it was really difficult did not make stay pleasant. Only 2 towels for 2 people for 3 days yuck! Microwave didnt work. Overall DO NOT STAY HERE OR THE WAVES HOTEL ROTTEN EXPERIENCE. Only good thing was the coffee shop across the road.

Good location being so close to the beach. Hotel should put a broom in every unit, as sand is an issue on tile floors during multi night stays. Construction in the area surrounding the hotels made for very loud, early mornings.

Location is pwrfect just walk to the veach and shops and bars. The property parking is small a squeeze to get in and out. Property clean but damp smelling and no ability to cook only a microwave. Location sold tue place thats about it. Cable tv wasnt working some excuse solar was installed but the room booklets advertise foxtell. Wifi was free and fast enough. Littoe lounge was comfy ok for ahort stay. Bit less in price be more reasonable for what you get.

Basic but cheap

Small, old-school, basic motel with parking in front of your room, therefore view onto the small carpark. Renovated, so felt fresh, but curtains were falling off the rails and were difficult to close, and the shelf in the shower was broken and missing so the only place to put shampoo etc was on the floor. Kitchenette with sink, fridge, microwave, jug, toaster, tea/coffee. Bed,del, a couple of lounge chairs, tv.
Check in around the corner in another hotel.
However it was cheap (for Byron Bay), great position (5 mins walk to centre of town, 5 mins to beach), eateries and shops around, and it was quiet. All in all worthwhile if you're on a budget.

All reasonable for the price. Good kitchenette but no room to eat inside. A bit small for three adults. They charge 2 percent extra for use of credit card which does not happen anywhere else.

A clean, quiet, basic motel room a few hundred meters from the ocean. Small kitchenette with some supplies. Good lighting. Check-in at other motel next door. Pricey, but that's Byron Bay.

I've stayed here twice, it's in the centre of town. Perfect location everything is within walking distance.
Motel is clean, has all the necessities including a kitchenette and parking is right outside. Definitely recommend staying here if your in Byron and don't want to spend a lot on accommodation or go to a hostel.

We left this property as it was cold in appearance and uninviting for 4 night stay. The bathroom was tiny and inadequate, entrance not appealing. However it was clean and the bed comfortable. We upgraded elsewhere for not much more.

Had noisy neighbours making lots of noise till 3am. A very down market motel. Had to check in at another property and the checkin person was off hand. Bed was too soft and gave me a sore back. Two star rating is about right. Wouldn't stay here again. On a positive side, the location is good.

The Hibiscus Motel has a wonderful comfortable bed and chairs. It is close to everything you need including fabulous breakfasts and good coffee. Byron Bay is always very busy so it is good to have a quiet little hideaway to enjoy a quiet moment. Plus thier giant TV with Foxtel is great for watching Sport or catching up on the local news.
