Ever heard of backpackers with money in their pockets?

It still comes with all the tradtional backpacker facilites (and more) but with shmick design and a budget price tag.
There's a variety of accommodation - from dorms, doubles, family rooms or even KING rooms WITH ensuites! It has its own cinema lounge, a cosy open fireplace, a 'princess wing' with extra large mirrors and big bathroom just for the girls, state of the art security, it's own funky lounge/bar offering coffees, pub grub and a traditional bar.
It's got 24-hour reception, kitchen, laundry, internet & travel desk, more than you'd find in a real flash joint! And the best thing is you don't have to be a backpacker to enjoy it - anyone can enjoy a great stay in Melbourne, and still go home with change in your pocket!
