Beds too firm,road works woke us up daily and were going through the night.
BarbaraAustraliaOk but room for improvement

Very noisy and nobody asked the people to quiet down in the night. Partying…

Questions about Drifter Byron Bay
What time is check-in and check-out at Drifter Byron Bay?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Drifter Byron Bay allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Drifter Byron Bay?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does Drifter Byron Bay have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Drifter Byron Bay have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Drifter Byron Bay have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Drifter Byron Bay?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
