| ianw670515:31 UTC12 Feb 2007 | Have a look at <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.yha.com.au/">YHA Hostels</a> - good hostels, with the advantage that their website tells you pretty quickly which of its hostels have single rooms (less common than doubles or dorms). Meanwhile, <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.hostelz.com/hostel/2145-JJ%27s-Backpackers-Hostel">JJ's Hostel</a> in Cairns appears to have singles, and rates well, and these details you will also find on hostelz.com descriptions. Internet room are often in public areas, with good access after 9:00pm, particularly in the bigger city hostels.

| daycat15:57 UTC12 Feb 2007 | www.ambhotel.com.au<BR><BR>Ambassadors Hotel King William Street Adelaide SA 5000
I have stayed there.
AUD$60 for a single, when I asked if they had a room that night, I checked in with no booking, at 3.30pm, they took my EFTPOS card, and charged me AUD$60. But, when I got to the room, it was a double bed.
Attached bathroom.
Right on King William Street, in the city centre, lots of buses and still got people around.
YHA Adelaide is on Waymouth St, which I would not go walkies at 9pm, daytime ok, but not evenings, esp if I have to walk on Light Square
I think some of the pubs in the city centre also do have single rooms, with a bed, but you might have to share bathrooms & toilets.
Metropolitan Hotel, on Grote St, is a pub downstairs, has rooms upstairs.
Check out www.hosteladelaide.com. Its part of the Hostel World group. Might list some hostels that have got private or shared one to you only rooms.

| daycat16:00 UTC12 Feb 2007 | In Melbourne, there is now or will be soon, a Formule1 hotel in the CBD.
AUD$79 per room per night, you get your own room, the premises might be be a retro fit, but the furnishings etc should be new.
www.formule1.com.au<BR><BR>Or, private rooms in some of the hostels around town in the CBD of Melbourne, either with own facilities or shared, at www.hostelmelbourne.com.

| daycat16:17 UTC12 Feb 2007 | Ah, you want internet rooms?
That would cut out a lot of the hotels as they charge a lot of $$$ for using their lines.
Sorry I said anything.
