We had a wonderful stay at Bounce as a family of 4. It is clean, very comfortable and is in a great location. Such great value for a private room.

This really was a brilliant option for our MELB stay. Right in the heart of the city and a very short walk to the tennis (we were in town for the Open) our room huge, perfect for us and our adult daughter. It was clean and well maintained.

Friendly staff, laundry where you don’t have to bring with your own cleanser, solid Wi-fi, and clean rom service. All exceptional.
The only issue is that you are storing your stuff in a locker above where you have your feet at during sleeping time.

This was one of the best hostels I have stayed in.
The place was spotless, the facilities were very good and the staff were great - especially the Kiwi lad Dan at reception.
I would definitely stay here again and I'd recommend this place to other travellers. Keep up the good work troops!

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!

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.
