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.

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!

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!

Stayed in a private double room. I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you absolutely need to save on money. It’s still a hostel , the hallways are small, sticky and have a bad stench. It probably would’ve been better to pay a bit more for a budget hotel instead.

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.

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.

I want a refund of my $82 as the staff member on front reception would not except my Receipt and reservation email in my phone from Last minute as well as a clear photo of my MDL (which happened to be out of date )as proper ID to sign into Bounce Backpackers . I arrived in Melbourne on a flight from Brisbane at 12PM and explained that I did not have my wallet as I was travelling light with minimal items on me as I was basically leaving my backpack at the place and it was a place to stay until 3am when I was intending to head to the Airport on the Skybus to go home after a concert which finished at 11PM . As it was I slept on the floor of The domestic Airport as it was too late to organise any alternative accommodation in The CBD such late notice on a Saturday night.
