I stayed there 3 weeks; it's definitely one of the best hostels I've been in. They have great facilities (a fantastic terrace upstairs!), the staff is super friendly and helpful.

First experience of staying in a Hostel and absolutely loved it! Was a little apprehensive of switching from big hotels to a hostel but after an amazing weekend I'm pleased with my choice. The staff are very professional and facilities were always clean. Rooms were quiet and the top deck had a great social atmosphere. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Special thanks to Stacie and Ali for looking after us so well over our stay. Highly recommended!

Very clean, secure and well-equipped. It's definitely not bohemian, perhaps a little corporate in its atmosphere, but there's nothing wrong with that per se.

One of the best hostel's I've stayed in, world wide! Most larger hostel/hotel's I've stayed at tended to be a little impersonal, but you guys were so warm and fun! Even the staff cleaning the kitchens were fun to be around while cooking! Thanks!!

Great location, best hostel staff ever, clean, secure, etc... met a lot of great people here. Great social events every day/night. Just a lil pricey for a hostel but hey its Oz, everything is more expensive here! Cheers from DJ Kosta!!

This is a fun, modern hostel right in the middle of the city next to central stayche. The atmosphere is great and the rooftop terrace is a great place to hang out. Facilities are good, standouts being the large kitchen and air conditioned rooms. I would definitely head back to bounce and have recommended it a couple of times already.

The music playing in the communal kitchen was so loud during the day I couldn't stay there. It was even louder at night, but that's fine as it's an awesome little roof top terrace to sit and look out over Central station, but I couldn't work out why dance music was pumping out of the speakers at 11am for breakfast?? Also, we were beside the laundry which was noisy. We also had to wait over an hour after check in time even though we went away and came back.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at! The whole place is very clean, and the rooms are massive. Security is good, as you need a keycard to work the lift and get into each floor, and there are big lockers in the rooms. The beds are comfy, and there are nice common areas like the movie room and the rooftop deck, and they hold daily evening events during the week so it's easy to meet people. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

Staff incredibly professional! Very clean and great facilities. Whilst it is luck of the draw, the other guests in my room were quite respectful in which I was most grateful. I would definitely stay here again and suggest this hostel to anyone who wants a clean, safe and central place to stay in Sydney. Very happy.

There was obviously an 'inner circle' consisting of longterm guests and staff that made it very difficult to meet people. Facilities were great and the staff was friendly and helpful. Not recommend for solo travellers.

The facilities are really clean and good in shape. People there are not really open minded and selfish compared to other hostels in Sydney.

Didn't like that they charged for wifi when already paying alot for daily room rates. Extremely clean and everyone was friendly, alot of people tht were staying here were actually looking for employment in Sydney. Great location, walk to everything and next to train station that takes you to airport.

Absolutely amazing end to a fantastic Australian adventure Its easy to see how Bounce is rated best in Australia, as soon as i arrived i immediately felt welcome. The staff were so helpful, even at 4am when i lost my room key the guy on reception met me with a smile. The rooms are huge, and unlike so many I've stayed in amazingly clean!!! The thing that impressed me the most were the activities that were on basically every night of the week. I'll most definitely be back. Rooftop terrace A*

Wow! Without a doubt the best hostel we've stayed at. Spacious rooms with huge lockers that fits a big backpack and more. The thing that makes this hostel amazing is its stunning terrace with an unbelievable view over the Sydney skyline. We have no complaints what so ever and would definately stay here again!

Everything at the hostel was really nice. I wish the wifi had been a bit better in the rooms and I did find a cockroach in the room but honestly we had a lovely experience at the hostel and it is in a great location.
