Maze Top Ten Questions:

To assist you with your booking, or to give you a run-down of more information relating to The Maze, here's a list of our top ten questions:

My flight/bus/train doesn't leave until the afternoon/evening. Can I store my baggage after check-out?

Yes you can! The cost for storage is $3 per day for 12 hrs. There are lockers upstairs on the first floor and these are coin operated. We also have mini-safes at reception for smaller items and these are $2 a day. If your bags are very large & you think they won't fit in the lockers, just bring them down to reception when you check-out so we can store them in our basement. The cost for this will also be $3 per day.

Where can I get internet access?

Right upstairs in our very own Computer room, which is located next to the dining room! If the computers are full, then not to worry...there is an internet cafe right next door to us called "Global Gossip." Just turn left when you walk out the front door. There is a 10 minute free discount voucher in your Maze Welcome Pack, which you will receive when you check-in. You can use this free internet card at Global Gossip. Once you've used up your time there, come and see us at reception and we can give you a cheap internet recharge card which you can use at our computers inside the hostel itself - a great bargain of up to $3 an hour !

Is Breakfast included?

Breakfast is not normally included, however we have a fully-equipped kitchen and there is now a major supermarket only 1 minute's walk from The Maze.

If you make a reservation online using our secure on-line booking form, you can receive a complimentary breakfast. We will give you the breakfast voucher when you check-in, which you can use at the excellent Primavera Cafe, which is located just a 2 minute walk from the hostel! Breakfast is 7 days a week between 7am-11am.

How do I arrange a pick up from the airport?

If you're staying with us for 3 or more nights, we can arrange a free pick-up for you.

Simply phone us on our freecall number once you've arrived and we will send a driver out to pick you up. Our number is: 1800 813 522. You will only need to wait about 15 minutes for a driver to come and collect you. If you are not staying for 3 nights, we can still pick you up, but the cost for the bus will be $10. Just pay the driver on the bus. It is still the cheapest way to get into the city!

*Please note: Our shuttle bus operates between 4.55am - 9.00pm.

How can I book a return airport shuttle back to the airport?

Just come & see reception. Our Shuttle service leaves the Maze every 30 minutes. You don't even need to book ! Cost is $10 one-way. All you need to do is wait in reception 5 mins before the designated time and our driver will come in to reception to collect you. Simply see reception. Buses leave The Maze every half an hour from 4.55am - 7.35pm 7 days a week.

Where can I book a day tour, flights or bus trips?

Just see the travel desk at reception and we will give you all the information you need on any tour of trip you like.

Do you have any safes where I can store my valuables?

We have safes at reception for $2 per day. Just pay reception if you would like one. There are also larger lockers on the 1st floor. These are $3 for 12 hours. They fit larger bags and are coin-operated.

Where is the nearest grocery store?

There is a huge supermarket which is so close to us! Just turn left out the door, walk up to the lights, keep walking straight ahead, and you'll find COLES located in World Square. It takes you less than a minute to get there!

Do you offer any discount cards? (VIP/YHA/ISIC/Student Cards)

We only offer discounts to NOMADS card holders, which will give you the best rates and value for money. Cost for membership is $34 and lasts for one year. Come and see reception anytime for more info!

There are 2 of us staying. We only need 1 key. How come we need 2 keys?

We must give everybody a key for security purposes. Nobody is allowed past reception without a key and this is for your own security and safety. A $20 key deposit is required for each key and this will be refunded to you at check-out.
