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.
