Secret Garden Backpackers

Secret Garden Hostel has been one of my best hostel stays. The common areas are beautiful and thoughtfully laid out, and the whole place is clean and well organized. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, so it’s easy to meet people and feel at home right away. The staff are kind, friendly, and always ready to help. It’s a great fit for solo travelers and backpackers wanting somewhere comfortable and social in Sydney. I’d absolutely stay again and recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

I stayed for two months and would happily come back. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens are kept very clean. There are two big common areas to relax in, and it’s easy to meet people while still getting a good night’s sleep. I had an amazing time! ✨ Can’t wait to return.

I’m so grateful for all the time I spent here. The guests and staff are incredible, kind, and always trying to make everyone feel comfortable. They keep everything spotless and even put on events that help you get past your shyness and enjoy yourself. I had a great time and highly recommend this hostel if you want to relax and have fun. Thanks so much, and best of luck!

The staff were great, and the location was the only good thing about this hostel. I felt awful there. The room was tiny, about the size of a toilet, with cockroaches on the beds and carpets. There was one fan that kept blowing toward the wall, turning the room into a furnace. The facilities were completely run down. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it.
