    The room was pre-heated, side table lights were on, and low volume jazz was playing - very welcoming atmosphere. The staff were awesome and accommodating. Great location and reasonably priced for a quick getaway. Good-sized room and comfortable bed. Laundry room was efficient. Separate building ensured a quiet stay. Free Wi-Fi, shared kitchen, and board games available. Will definitely recommend for a budget-friendly break!

    I keep coming back because Summer House Newtown always feels like home. The staff found a lost item for me once, which I appreciate. It has all the amenities I need and I love coming here for a romantic escape.

    The staff were amazing - so friendly and accommodating, they made sure we had a room away from the smoking area and even arranged for our rooms to be next to each other. The location was fantastic, with plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The accommodation was basic but it met our needs and was clean. We loved watching the stream of workers heading out for the day in the morning. The parking was available at a reasonable price, and the kitchen had all the necessary utensils for shared use. The location was so convenient, close to transport and a wide variety of restaurants. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere was quiet and respectful. a great place to stay in a favorite area of Sydney. We would definitely stay there again.

    The location couldn't have been better - right in the heart of the action! It was so convenient being close to all the restaurants, shops, and even a park to relax in. the staff were friendly and the bathrooms were surprisingly clean. I also appreciated the proximity to the train station, making it easy to explore the surrounding area.

    My roommates didn't quite understand how to keep a shared space clean and respectful.

    the location was perfect, with easy access to public transport and plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. the private bathroom in my room was surprisingly modern and clean. the comfortable beds ensured a good night's sleep.

    The wifi connection was weak, which was a bit frustrating at times.

    I recently stayed at a hostel in a prime location which offered a welcoming atmosphere for backpackers and short-term stays. The staff were friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. The hostel also had access to a pool, which was a great bonus. Although the rooms were on the smaller side, they were clean and suitable for a short stay. I had a positive experience at the hostel and would recommend it to others.

    The value for money at Summer House Newtown was great! The room was clean, spacious and had all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect with easy access to the train station and plenty of dining and entertainment options in Newtown. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay.

    Breakfast items could be improved with a wider variety of options.

    Great location near lively entertainment and dining options. Rooms were comfortable and had their own bathrooms. The staff member was friendly and helpful.

    Parking was an issue with additional fees for both parking and a deposit, and no refund for the deposit was given. The mornings were noisy with people starting their day.

    Lovely staff, great facilities, good location, excellent price. Enjoyed the ability to cook, laundry facilities, and a relaxing common area. Multicultural atmosphere added to the experience. Terrific stay.

    We were only a short 10-minute drive away from some of Sydney's iconic attractions, such as the Sydney Opera House and Star Casino. It made exploring the city with our children so convenient and enjoyable. The comfortable and clean beds provided a great night's sleep after a long day of adventures. We were thrilled to have found such an affordable option for our family stay.

    For dads, it would be great if Summer House Newtown offered a dedicated play area or activities for children.
