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.

Centrally located well upkept hostel in the CBD of Melbourne. Staff is welcoming, rooms are spacious are very “homey”. A limited breakfast is provided, yet it is served by a very welcoming and friendly staff member providing an additional level of hospitality.

Good room but overpriced

Was upgraded to the deluxe private room after having issues with changing my booking dates. Staff at Selina were very helpful and friendly. The room was huge and very comfortable (although two single beds put together rather than an actual double), with a tiny ensuite and shower that leaked through the door. Lights in the room were very dim and you could hear a lot of the noise from the street below. I don’t think the price is very good value when you can get a luxury hotel for pretty much the same price elsewhere in the city.

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.

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.
