The Erko Hotel

Awesome location in a quiet neighbourhood, a short walk from King Street and Newtown offerings and the Enmore Theatre. Easy to Find from Erskineville train station. Comfy beds and very clean if slightly dated facilities. Separate secure entrance for guests who were staying, I never once felt unsafe as a solo female traveller. Great food in the pub.

The naming of each room was based on local dogs, which was neat. The location was great. We learned during our stay that the hotel is a walk away from many interesting bars. Short walk away from the train station to get to downtown Sydney.

The Erko is one of the best pubs in Sydney. The accommodation was great. The room was simple cozy but not cramped, and perfect for a solo traveller. The staff were extraordinarily friendly and even offered to carry my bike up into my room. Outside the pub a large rainbow+trans flag was displayed proudly which sets a beautiful tone for the kind of welcoming space you're entering. Shared facilities were good and clean, though not amazing. The presence of bath tubs was a nice surprise! Food at the pub was great with a wide selection of beers on tap. I thought they were joking when they said there was room service, but there was no joke! The Erko is in an amazing location, one of the best suburbs of Sydney, and perfectly located for travelling cyclists such as myself, with close connections to major cycling routes, trains and a short 20-30min ride to the airport.

the shared bathrooms have been renovated and they look great. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. the location in quieter Erskineville with close access to noisier Newtown, where I was meeting friends and watching theatre, is excellent. the staff were friendly, happy and helpful.

The staff were fantastic. Very helpful, even offering to Cary one of my bags up the stairs. The room was adequate for what I needed. Although it was a shared bathroom, it was clean .
