Great staff, comfortable, clean room and bed. Nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed at! Lots of great amenities and a perfect location for seeing the city. Definitely recommend the private rooms and the community dorms.
I really enjoyed my time at Bounce, staying over NYE! The hostel runs walking tours which is a great way to see the city and also meet people from the hostel. The room was super spacious with en-suite bathroom, the bathrooms on the corridor were also all fine - would only say I’d prefer paper towels rather than a shared towel for drying hands and also bath mate would be helpful to stop the floors getting so slippy!
Aside from this loved my stay and the kitchen and common areas were also all good!

Clean room and cozy space with curtain.
There's a bar downstairs thar was nice.
Regular activities..
Requested change of sheets for long stay, staff said yes but it wasn't done
Room was fine for a 8 people. Plenty of space which was great. Bedside USB charging port was broken and the plug socket didn’t fit quite nicely but still able to charge my stuff anyway. Amazing location being right across road from Flinders Station and near Swanston Street so taking free CBD tram was so handy.
Clean room. Staff were friendly. Air conditioning in the room. No television but as I was only in there to sleep it was not an issue. Great location and internally quiet (train works next door less so but not disrupting).
Everything is prefect! Nice and clean.
The room basically sounds proof. Very quiet.
Got curtain for every bed, provide privacy.
I rent a bed for a short stay.
Only thing is I kept kicking the box above my feet when I was sleeping and woke up multiple times.
Overall, I think it’s a very very good hostel.
absolutely enjoyed my stay at Bounce. Staff are helpful, the room, whilst small is incredibly well appointed with power outlets in good spots, and a super comfy bed. The hostel itself is lively and ideally situated close to the theatres and directlky opposite Flinders st station. big common area with a huge kitchen and lots of tables and spots for socialising. And there's a rad brecord store in the basement which becomes a bar with a generous happy hour after 5pm.
Great stay in their private delux, private bathroom, great space, comfy bed, beautiful and friendly staff, 11am checkout was great after a big night out, easy walking distance to bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Cozy bar downstairs next door to Roamer, overall awesome stay.
