Bounce is less like a 'hotel' and more like an expensive, waterproof spot. The rooms are spacious, modern, and equipped with all amenities including Wi-Fi accessibility. The service is friendly and helpful, making the stay enjoyable. The location, right across from Central Train Station, offers convenience with shops and eateries nearby. The dining experience, although with some limitations, includes a variety of options. The facilities are well-maintained but lack certain amenities.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is amazing, just a stone's throw away from Central Station and within walking distance of so many great cafes and restaurants. The rooms were incredibly quiet, I couldn't hear any noise from outside, and my main room was spacious with a double bed, bunk, and a huge TV. The service was top-notch, super friendly and they even had fun events at night. The dining options were convenient, and the view of the city from the dining area was peaceful.

The hotel's location is unbeatable, right across the central railway station's closest exit to the airport line, with tons of nice cafes around. The rooms are basic, with a comfortable bunk bed and a cozy double bed, but the design could be more thoughtful as the reading lights shine directly to the other bed. The service is welcoming and friendly, although I had to visit the reception desk a couple of times to have my keycard fixed. The dining experience offers some good options, including grilled Teppanyaki fish, but could be improved. The facilities are adequate, and there's usually some food on the free food shelf.
