Sérieusement c'est le pire hotel en Backpacker où j'ai pu aller niveau propreté...
On a eu des cafards dans la chambre, on avant rarement du papier toilettes, la cuisine etait dans un état épouvantable et je ne parle pas de la salle de bain du 2e étage...
Terrible flooring and small rooms
Too many steps upstairs
Very old buildings
Good location
Near central station

Negatives: The bathroom was very dirty. There was beard hair in the sink for days and the water wouldn't drain away. Also tissue all over the floor. There is no lift access to the top floors.
Positives: cheap price. Free cereal or toast for breakfast. Friendly staff.
Good staff and overall nice friendly environment. Lots of new friends.

The Secret Garden Backpackers is found in a convenient location. A short walk from Sydney Central Railway Station. Parks, a council pool and Redfern Oval are close. A stroll along Cleveland St brings you to the local Coles Shopping Centre. There is also a wide range of restaurants to be explored along the street. Enjoy your stay in the area not far from the CBD

Friendly and accommodating staff. Comfortable to stay for a couple of nights but would struggle staying long term.
Love it here, second time I have stayed and I wish it was longer! So clean, so welcoming, so friendly! Great location, comfy beds, kitchens and bathrooms are great especially the one by room 2. Will stay again!
