Negative Reviews
negative:
Some extra charges to consider
While many guests feel a stay at Bounce comes at a reasonable price, some found the rates a little higher than an average hostel. That said, this hostel offers more than the norm! Guests also mention that the extra costs for Wi-Fi, breakfast and towels soon add up.
negative:
Smoking on rooftop terrace
Several guests mention that they were disappointed to find that smoking was allowed on the rooftop terrace. Understandably, this may well present an issue to non-smokers.
negative:
Perhaps best suited to a younger crowd
Despite the fact that Bounce has private rooms, reviews generally give the sense that this hostel is perhaps better suited to a younger crowd. If you belong to the older generation or are travelling with children, you might have to make a judgement call as to whether the hostel will be suitable.
