About

At Summer House Backpackers Brisbane, we’re proud of our reputation as one of Australia’s best budget hostels. With our funky décor and fun events, we like to make you feel at home. Take a beer from our bar – up to our rooftop terrace. Bask on a lounger surrounded by views over the city and river, and stick around for our evening socials. We’ll keep you well fed, with our free pancake Sundays, cheese and cracker nights and Italian nights – and well entertained (don’t miss our free boat cruises along the Brisbane River).

We’re a block away from the Brisbane River waterfront and 7 minutes’ walk from the Roma Street Station. This is where the train from the airport, the BDVL, will drop you off – the journey takes about 45 minutes, door to door. There are plenty of cool places to grab a drink just 5 minutes’ walk away, with bars like Lefty’s Old Time Music Hall, Brewski Bar and Libertine Restaurant a short stroll from the hostel.

Whether you prefer to keep it cosy or bunk up with new friends, we have mixed dorms of all shapes and sizes. All of our rooms have fresh linen, air con – a must during our hot Aussie summers – and there are power points beside every bed. Bring along a padlock to use your locker, or pick one up from reception.

Our super fast Wi-Fi is free, so you can stay on top of the shows you’re hooked on. If you have time for TV, that is – we have heaps of free events to keep you busy. Head to the rooftop for our legendary barbecue dinners, and down to street level for our free walking tours if you need a newbie’s introduction to our amazing city.
