Late Night Check-in Procedures

Late night check-in procedures are quite simple. Anyone arriving after 9pm needs to organise late check-in because reception closes at 9pm.

Basically, we charge 1 nights accomodation to your credit card (other methods listed below). We then give you the security code for the 24-hour security entrance. When you arrive, you let yourself in and make your way to reception.

At reception there will be an envelope with your name on it which will contain everything you need - key, map, note, receipt, etc. JUST LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE A SLEEPING BAG, or do you need to hire a doona.

24 hour security entrance

The 24-hour security entrance is located at the end of an alleyway which runs beside our building.
The alleyway is very well lit, and has a lit 'central city backpackers' sign above the entrance.

If you are arriving by Shuttle Bus, your friendly driver will point you in our direction.
If you are arriving by car, park on the street. Most parking on-street is free from 6pm until 8.30am. Check the signs to be sure.

Sleeping Bags or Doona Hire

When you contact us for late check-in, we need to know whether you have your own sleeping bags, or if you need to hire doonas. A doona is a 'feather blanket' or 'quilt' which is called a duvet, comforter or quilt in different countries. A doona is $3 to hire for your entire stay ($3 for 1 night or 7 nights!) just to cover cleaning costs.

Other methods of pre-payment

You can pay by ...
credit card (the simplest method) - you can provide your c/c number my email or by FREECALL 1800 811 507
by EFT (electronic funds transfer) - must send an email dating payment and amount
or by sending a cheque (accom is NOT confirmed until the cheque clears) - include note with accom details
