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my Receipt and reservation email in my phone from Last minute as well as a clear photo of my MDL (which happened to be out of date )as proper ID to sign into Bounce Backpackers .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.

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.
