Great position and a beautiful peaceful hotel . Staff are excellent and very helpful .
Pros:

Great location . Very quiet and peaceful and beautiful gardens .

Cons:

Definitely need more storage and maybe better lighting in the bathroom at least .
There is a lovely garden outside our room but couldn’t get out of it unless we climbed through the window ( maybe there was a door ?)

This quiet, luxurious oasis provided lovely retreat of vitality and wellness with a perfect location
Pros:

The location couldn't have been better, just walking distance from the center of Byron town and a wide selection of bars and restaurants. Although central, it was also quiet, like a little oasis amidst the hustle and bustle. LOVED that it is adult only and the offering of a private sauna and cold plunge pool.

Cons:

I wish there had been eggs offered on the breakfast menu, but the options they did have were healthy and delicious. Lighting in the room was a bit dim, but that also made it stylish and moody.

Will definitely be back
Pros:

Size of rooms were, style and peace

Cons:

The only thing I could fault was the pool interior. It needs a proper reno to match the rest of the property. Like fully tiled, it’s sprayed concrete so feels like the old motel.

Relaxing
Pros:

The staff were lovely upon arrival and the check-in process was so easy! The facilities were amazing the aesthetic rooms and pool area definitely were a stand out for me. The sauna and cold plunge were also a really cool experience, my partner loved them. The hotel is also in a really convenient spot and walked literally everywhere - it only took a few minutes to get to the shops and restaurants! We would definitely stay at The Swell if we were to visit Byron Bay again.

Cons:

It would be amazing if there was a larger room service menu but since all of the shops and restaurants were so close it never was a big problem for us. On our second night we were unfortunately in a room next to what sounded like a group of friends that were very loud, slamming doors and what sounded like going in and out of the room until the early morning which was annoying, but not any fault of the hotel staff.
