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.

Budget friendly but tired

The building is very tired and the bed was worn out. The staff however were absolutely wonderful and very friendly. This is a budget hotel and while they are trying hard it could do with a freshen up, I've stayed at better for a similar price.

I stayed in one of the single rooms. It was so beautiful and inviting, even with it being minimalistic. The little speakeasy-esque bar downstairs is really inviting. All of the staff were super friendly. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Clean, comfortable, sociable in a relaxed way.

Honestly I really enjoyed this hostel although apparently it changed owners between my booking and staying so it was hard to find. Lol. But this is not a typical bounce hostel, it used to be a Selina's so the facilities are a lot better than you would normally get in a Bounce hostel. The beds were really comfortable and they let you use the facilities after check out which is great! It was sociable in a laid back way which was nice. Would love if they had a rooftop space, and the women's bathrooms were out of order for a day of my stay, but overall I totally recommend this place, and would stay here again.
