Welcome to Summer House Backpackers!

Newtown, Sydney

Rooms

We have shared rooms with either 4, 6 or 8 beds. We also have private doubles, triples and quadruple rooms. Each bed in a shared dormitory has an individual double power socket and reading light plus every guest has a huge lockable storage locker to safely secure all their belongings (make sure you bring a padlock or we have them available for purchase from reception). We pride ourselves on having the best linen and most comfortable beds in the business, plus unlike other hostels, we make your bed for you prior to arrival – how good’s that!

Our lightning-fast unlimited Wifi is available in all rooms.
