A great place with the inner west vibe in a central location just outside of the cool place of Newtown. Highly recommended, the staff are fantastic. Only thing is that the streets are bit narrow and parking can be a bit hard to find might help to park a bit further and walk to the pub and hotel. Everything else is excellent.

The Erko has nice, helpful and efficient staff. Lovely leafy neighbourhood of mostly Victorian cottages. There are a variety of shops, pub and cafes with good coffee and food - although the hotel itself is quite popular and the menu there has a high review rating. The hotel its self on the second floor is about 15 rooms and generally very quiet, a secure back entrance with two flights of stairs up. There is a kitchen facility with some bits and pieces to go with your own breakfast, tea/coffee cutlery, hot water jug, fridge etc. Generous with towels, toiletries and comfortable beds. They are share bathrooms so if that is not something you can handle it won't be for you. But they were always spotless, and nothing was ever occupied when I needed them, at any time I've stayed. Be aware the bathroom with the bath, the shower takes a few minutes to get hot water. My only grumble this time around is this. It is the third room I've stayed in over time and it didn't have a chair, or desk, or mirror. I mean c'mon at least a chair. Partly my fault as I need to start underlining things I need as a less mobile person but a chair's pretty basic. Apart from that it is great value for money and you can't beat the location close to Newtown (5 min walk), Central (5 min train trip, then a couple more minutes to get on he city loop). King St and Enmore Rd have more pubs, cafes, cocktails bars, Dendy cinema, takeaways than you could possibly need or sample.

It’s upstairs in a pub! Just a small room with a bed, lamp & tv, that’s it! I’d say value for money if it was $60-$80/night But at $143/night in the off season I’d want my own toilet with a door I could close without having to stand on the toilet. And I’d like to feel more confident that my room door lock was not about to fall off

It met expectations
It is a budget stay with a shared bathroom. If you know and accept that, then you’ll be happy. The bed was very comfortable. No a/c but there is a fan. There is a shared, clean kitchen. There were no dramas. The location is really good and convenient to trains, cafes etc. I have no complaints. The hot water was great (but it takes a couple of minutes for the hot water to arrive so be patient).

The area is very interesting- the hotel is nice enough on the outside. The accommodation smelled like sewage and there was only one toilet for all the rooms. Early in the morning a plumber started drilling and trying to clear the faulty toilet - next to my room. Considering the cost per night - this was not a very happy experience. Room was clean and kitchen was clean. It just stank really bad. The bar was dog friendly which might appeal to dog owners. Overall I did not think it was worth the cost.

Quiet suburb just a few hundred metres down from the bustle of Newton. Plenty of cafes and local neighbourhood vibe. The pub under the rooms was pretty good, dog friendly, and very busy on a Sunday arvo. This is pub accommodation, so don’t expect too much. The room was very big and clean. The bed was a double, not a queen. Had a toilet and hand wash basin in the room. The big disappointment was that the communal showers had zero hot water. We had cold showers.
