Byron Bay Motels

Nice hotel, peopre and in front of the beach. Check out super early…. Average value for money (too expensive for what it is. Maybe due to the summer period in the area). Very nice and welcoming staff. If you arrive late, the system to collect the room keys is very convenient.

Whilst driving down to the Hibiscus Motel, I realised that we we’re not going to be at the motel in time for checking and that on the Expedia website it stated that you needed to give them 24 hours notice if you were going to arrive later than 5pm. I emailed the motel and explained that we were going to be late and asked if we could make alternative arrangements to check in. I received an email back in no time, asking if I could call the hotel as my credit card had been declined. I called the hotel and was advised that these things happen and provided my credit card details over the phone. I hadn’t realised that I had had a replacement card. I was told where I could pick the key up from and everything was looking good. Just as we arrived at the motel, I check my email again to find that my card had yet again been declined and I was fully aware that reception had closed. I tried the combination for the safe and thankfully the keys to our room were in there, with a note asking if I could attend reception the next morning. The room, was a good size and whilst it might not have been the most luxurious in Australia, it was everything we needed for a couple of nights. The bed was really comfortable which provided a good nights sleep. The next morning I went to reception and was instantly put at easy by the staff. (This was the first time my card has been declined) We went through the check in procedure, attempted to pay for the room, where I received a text from the bank asking me to authorise the payment, this then went through. The staff could not have been any nicer or more understanding.

This is an amazing place. They’ve taken an original motel on the old pacific hwy and made it such a cool hotel. Rooms are spacious and incredibly the clean. Booking was simple, the pre arrival contact was super professional and the staff are seriously good. The girl that checked me in was so friendly and welcoming. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the pub, which is a destination in itself. Whenever I’m working in Ballina or Byron I make this my stopover.

Arrived at Motel only to find (after a frustrating look-around) a pamphlet on one of the Motel doors to head to the Middle Pub in Mullumbimby to check-in and get your Security Key. It can get extremely busy at the Pub and patience is required as it depends how many staff they have on. A sweet young woman was run off her feet serving Patrons as well as checking-in Motel clients. Easy check- in, only took a couple of minuets. Parking can be ‘tight’ on site but plenty of parking out the front of Motel. Ask them about Wifi BEFORE you leave Check-in! I didn’t and spent a while trying to find an ‘info’ folder in the Motel room (they don’t have one) and had to ring them up to ask where the code was for their Free Wifi. Ours was stuck to the main mirror on a very small tab that you could be forgiven was non- important. Check out the photo I have posted. If you zoom, you will be able to make it out on the mirror bottom left… Super impressed with our room. Queen plus single beds…. Main room was clean,tidy and smelling fresh. The only negative I have was the Bathroom is abit dated and unfortunately had mould in the shower stall and on tiles. It didn’t look like the walls were cleaned either. Air-con was good, small T.V, bar fridge nice and cold. Great sleep and key went into Secure Box downstairs when we left.

Such a cute little semi-retro vibe makes this simple little motel a really nice experience. The room was small with a double bed (not Queen etc.) but good use made of the space & the decorating made it feel great. Enjoyed lounging in & around the pool and it is an easy walk to restaurants, beach, bottle shop, cafes etc.

布里斯班往回開的路上，預訂了這個酒店。到了酒店天都黑了，小鎮到了晚上很清凈，酒店外部環境還不錯，酒店旁邊就是一個餐廳，是唯一熱鬧的地方，房間不是很多，但是裝修很新，房間不是很大，但是設施還是比較新。沒有異味，佈局雖然緊湊，但是基本的都🈶給準備。衞生也很乾凈，床有點偏硬，但是睡得還是蠻舒服。

Positives: Large room, comfortable bed, spacious bathroom. Walking distance to cafes and restaurants and the beach a short walk away. Negatives: No microwave or toaster. Only one chair for the long desk. Oned face cloth in a room for two and a towel holder would have been appreciated. No biscuits and street noise was a bit loud. The man at the desk was obviously having a bad day as he was a little too abrupt, and again when speaking to him on the phone. Asked about a compendium but no because they' get stolen.' Now while there are a number of negatives, this was somewhat based on our 4th night of travelling and we wanted to save what we thought would be 'the best'. We'd stayed in regional towns out west which I believe were better even though smaller.
