How is Summer Terrace rated?

Summer Terrace Reviews

Summer Terrace is a small hostel with the choice of mixed, six-bed dorms with shared bathrooms, or private doubles with en suite. The property is spread over two floors, with dorms down and privates up. Rooms are air conditioned and include a free towel and Wi-Fi. There is free tea and coffee available at all times, but no breakfast.

The Location

The hostel is on Love Lane, which is the ideal location for backpackers; Little India is a few minutes away and you're near many bars, shops, and restaurants. The walk from the jetty or komtar bus station takes about fifteen minutes.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The shared bathrooms feature four shower/toilet cubicles, which are well sized and equipped with shampoo dispensers and hooks on the back of the doors. The cubicles could benefit from the addition of a toiletry shelf.
They are quite outdated and consequently look a little unclean.

The bunk beds in the dorms each have a power point, light, and comfortable mattress. The lower bunks have privacy curtains. You do not have a locker and there isn't much space under the bed for bags, making the rooms rather cramped. You are given a key for the room but you must leave a deposit at the desk for it. With your room key you are allocated a key to a small locker for your valuables, located outside of the room. The dorm is kept clean.

Common Spaces

By the reception you will find a large, wall-spanning sofa, which is a comfortable place to relax and socialize, however the atmosphere in this hostel isn't terribly social. It's very quiet. There are a couple of chairs located outside the front of the hostel, but nothing like the name of the property suggests. There is a small book exchange here, plus you can purchase soft drinks and beers. There is one table with chairs, plus the tea/coffee point. If you wish you leave your bag for a while after check-out, this is possible, but you must leave it next to the reception desk. The desk is not always manned and the front door is open, so it is at your own risk. The clientele of this hostel is backpackers.

Summary

This hostel has a good location and basic facilities, but you can get more for your money elsewhere.
