Hi Bruce - We are a backpackers short term accommodation aiming to provide a comfortable and sociable environment for guests to meet and connect with fellow travelers as they work and travel through Australia and as such, we require a valid passport as a form of ID upon check in. This is explained in our terms and conditions before a booking is made so that upcoming guests know what is required for check in. Should you come to Melbourne again and present the required ID at check in, we will be happy to accommodate you here :)

I liked the quietness in the living quarters. I liked the amenities in the reception area and the fact that each new visitor was offered a free drink.

I like the bath room. Specially the big one outside the bedrooms. The common bathroom was awesome. Because it has got bigger space.

This is a back packers,,which isn’t stated anywhere in the advertising. So many young kids every where,,, in hallways , on all the lounges, bags everywhere. We just wanted a good night out and got no sleep whatsoever. Yelling and screaming outside of the room ALL night.Would never recommend or stay here again. Not happy !!!
