Get your parents to go guarantor for you.

If i was able to stay in a hotel i definitely would... what do you mean by guarantor??

[vnv8driver]

if your under age and you cant be held responsible for things (legally) you get your parents name/signature to state that any damages, theft, etc that MAY be caused during your visit will be the legal responsibility of your guarantor.


Same for buying things on layby, finance etc... you get your parent to put their name down so if you dont pay the cash back, they have to (legally of course)

sign to say ther will be held responsible for damage etc correct me if i am wrong, im only 17 :P

[Pimpn1]

oops beat me to it...lol

There's a heap of good somewhat expensive Hostels in the CBD but they are usually booked out so you have to book a room in advance. There's also this place which is where my wife and her friends usually stay when they are going on a girly trip to Melbourne, she says it's nice

If its only for a week just sleep in your car,
Its a ****load cheaper than any hotel
And its not ilegal unless its a permenant situation (homelessness)

[Flat_White]

LOL guys!!

Seriously tho, has anyone got any opinions of the "City Centre Budget hotel" or the "Miami Budget hotel" i am currently considering these two places.

It certainly is illegal in a lot of council and private property/commercial areas

VYSam, is that the Miama Hotel in West Melbourne as that is pretty pricey compared to some others for what you get

What's your budget, etc per night as because I work in the hospitality industry I know a few night managers and the like at various hotels and motels around Melbourne and may be able to get you something cheaper

The Formule 1 Motels are very cheap but are more suited for 'short term' stays

thanks very much

I believe it was mentioned before in this thread, given your age you may need to leave a credit card with the desk before they would give you a key to a room. Do you not have a parent or relative that will do this for you?

Yeah i know i could do that with my parents credit card, but the problem is, as far as i know most *REAL* hotels will not allow anyone under the age of 21 to stay in there rooms.

If i could stay at the holiday inn or something i definitely would, but i doubt they allow it unless you have supervision.

[Flat_White]

Ok, im bringing this one back up,

Anyone know of any decent hotels that will allow under 18's??

Im desperate lol

[LightningVP]

Not sure what their accommodation is like, can tell you what the garbage is like at all the hotels lol, but hey, there a spare room at my house with a double bed more than welcome to use that, only thing is its a 15-20 min drive to CBD

There is a backpackers hotel on the corner of flinders and spencer (next to the 7/11 (can remember what it's called) and it's always the life of the town each night...not sure of prices thought

[Flat_White]

cheers mate, im no longer interested in staying in backpackers unless its the only option...

I would rather spend the extra 50bucks a night and be able to sleep in a bed which hasnt been seminated.

don't blame you what are yours reasons for coming to melb?

[Flat_White]

I got a VERY VERY cheap airfare on Tiger.

$79 per way PER-MEL and MEL-PER

also scored MEL-ADL for 19.95 per way...

It may be crap travel, but its cheap travel.

The above flights would total almost 10,000kms in distance and cost a total of 199

the cheapest PER-MEL i could find on QF was 240 dollars for just 1 flight!!

LOL

[Flat_White]

anyway, need accomodation desperately, i leave in just over a month

[LightningVP]

thats cheap...and its not like your on it for days....so service isn't really an issue.

I'll have a chat with my sis tomorrow and see if she knows any good places...
