More Bounce for your buck!
Pros:

I try not to have expectations when staying in properties like Bounce.
There's nothing too flashy about the establishment but for the price paid to stay there one's not expecting anything flashy.
Having said that, Bounce outshone more "flashy" and expensive establishments that I have stayed at, in so many other ways!
I arrived extremely early (6:30 am) for my stay that night, and found a locked front door, but before i could call the number on the door, someone was there to welcome me and get me checked in. Of course my room was not ready but they store your luggage in a safe and secure place they let you have access to, and after going out for the morning they had my room ready earlier than expected and I was able to settle in.
I found the bed to be super comfortable with a great selection of nice pillows.
The shower was always as hot as you like it and had great pressure no matter what time of day you took one.
Even with the Wax Music Lounge down in the basement (which can be accessed by a lift from the accommodation) and it going into the early hours of the morning, it had no effect on the noise levels in my room, but maybe because my room was on the top floor.
The staff were always friendly, helpful, and accommodating, both in Bounce itself and also Wax Music lounge which I spent some time in.
Location is fantastic, being right next to Degraves St and some of the best coffee houses in all of Melbourne, and right across from Flinders St Station and a free city tram stop.
I would highly recommend Bounce and Wax, and would happily stay there again.

Cons:

The carpet/rug in my room was furry and any clothing from socks to pants that came in contact with the floor would pick up said fur. It was like someone had kept a cat or dog in the room previously and there was a faint funny smell to the room too.

不計較細節且想省錢的話這間是個很好的選擇
Pros:

地點極佳,車站走出來3分鐘就到了,想逛街也是走路不到五分鐘就到,整體也還算乾淨

Cons:

二樓女性公共浴室的大門不太正常,除非特地去壓緊不然不會關上,還會發出很大的聲音

It makes me rethink again to book this hostel in the future.
Pros:

My first time I visited was fine, until the seconds I lost some items there. But the staff especially the receptionist (chubby man and dark skin girl) is not helpful. I followed up many times but still they just ignored it.

They don’t keep the lost items properly. So upset.

Cons:

Some staff not helpful and unfriendly:( One chubby man just leave for rest (out for find food) when I want to check-in.
The place is strategic, but I think the company needs to keep on eye with their staff.

Don't stop, just book!
Pros:

The bunk beds are AMAZING! Well built, strong steel, very sturdy and don't move around easily. Lots of storage room in your own bunk (if top bunk), and drawers underneath bottom bunks. The beds are very comfortable and the linen is of an exceptional standard. You get incredible quality for the price of a bed. Incredible.

Cons:

There was a temporary device in the room replacing an air conditioner. It seemed to keep the room cool, but it also meant the window was open which could lead to air pollution entering the room and increase noise pollution too. Apart from that, nothing bad to say about it.

An ok stay for a short stay.
Pros:

Location is great! In the centre of everything. Staffs are helpful.

Cons:

The shared bathroom not that clean. I encountered a few cockroaches in the shower- not cool. Bed is squeaky and not comfortable. And if you are a light sleeper, you would hear the sound of the night trains from flinders street station.
