A Dream :)
Pros:

We can wholeheartedly recommend Swell Byron Bay! It is an incredibly beautiful and exceptionally well-maintained boutique hotel, with so much love and attention to detail throughout.

The staff were absolutely wonderful – incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The location is also perfect, just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Byron Bay.

Our stay at Swell was truly special and definitely one of the highlights of our four-week trip around Australia. We felt completely at home and would come back in a heartbeat.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay! ❤️

Cons:

Nothing !!!

Un petit coin de paradis
Pros:

Tout était parfait au Swell Hôtel. Le personnel est plus qu'accueillant et très gentil. La chambre est splendide, déconnexion totale. Les services proposés (café, bar, plats, piscine, sauna, etc.) ont été à la hauteur de nos espérances.

Je recommande vivement ce sublime hôtel intimiste et chaleureux.

Amazing visit to Byron Beach. Gorgeous hotel, such a comfy bed, great flat whites and incredible personalized service. S
Pros:

Staff were amazing - the service felt warm and authentic but not too fussy. Felt like we were staying with very cool local friends that had the best recommendations.

Cons:

Minor but blackout curtains are a little short for windows and let cracks of light in, and there are no drawers or clothing storage.

Style and Comfort -
Pros:

Fantastic locatioj close to town so no need for a car unless you wantetd to travel for sightseeing. Early and late checkin provided; friendly service. Stayed in the Suite with adult daughters and lovely room for handing out together. Garden area and pool very relaxing. This place is worth the money for comfort, hospitality, safety and location if you want a place within easy walking distance to town and beach.

Cons:
