Summary of traveller reviews

Summer House Brisbane offers a friendly atmosphere with helpful staff and a great central location. Guests enjoy the clean rooms, social events, and the rooftop with its fantastic views. The kitchen can be small and crowded during peak times.

The location seemed a bit “far”, but it’s not that bad. There are buses to the city center. Although it’s a good option if you have an early flight, the hostel is very close to the train station where there are trains to the airport directly. Kitchen is tiny. Some recommend for future infrastructure: Filter water taps Bedside lamps

Overall the hostel was good. It was clean, beds were comfy, and it felt safe. The room I was in was just really small and dark, didn’t want to spend much time in the room itself. But the hostel has a great rooftop, I used the laundry facilities and they were super easy, and the location was perfect. Would recommend!
