The Erko Hotel

4 guests and 1 key is a bit weird. 4 guests and 2 towels is also a bit weird. Locked balcony door and no windows that can be opened gives a bit weird indoor climate. But price was cheap so all as expected and ok

Friendly staff

We stayed here after watching a show at the Enmore Theatre. All the staff were great and check-in/out was so easy. Honestly, there's a little noise from downstairs but it was quiet after 11pm and we didn't mind because we were getting back late from the show anyway. Super easy walking location to shops, restaurants, the train station (like 10 mins to Central) and the Enmore Theatre.

Great location. Basic, clean functional bedrooms. Refurbished shared bathrooms, basic kitchen. Drinks voucher on arrival. Exceeded expectations. Not noisy (mid-week booking). Would happily book again.

I enjoyed my stay with my friends @Erko Hotel over a birthday weekend, it is an old pub and it comes with pub 4 star life with share bathrooms,kitchen ect. The room i had was spacious ,clean and air conditioned with a nice outlook. Staff were friendly and helpful the food was great that we ordered downstairs along with the tunes and entertainment. The vibrant lifestyle of Erko and Newtown.are recommended if you like alt and it wasn't as noisy upstairs as i had read about. There is a A.I generated lousy review i had read causing me alarm however after arrival i didn't agree with what had been raised and i believe this should be ignored . I think it was terribly unfair to the Erko and people who like to stay in this type of accommodation. Peter. AU

Guest rooms on the top of a bar. Friendly staff.

It's handy that the bar and restaurant are in the ground floor and you get a complimentary drink as guest.

Clean room Nice staff Nice pub for drinks and food.

Location was amazing! Also loved having a balcony.

Very hospitable staff & lovely drinks food & convenient

Clean room and friendly staff.

Home away from home

No hot water in the shared bathrooms. Management at this hotel has spent a lot of money doing up accom and putting an air conditioner in each room but no running hot water in the bathrooms. Not acceptable in 2026 to not have hot water for a shower especially with extreme heat. Tv in room did not work either. There is no excuse for being sub-standard. Housekeeping should be checking hot water in bathrooms each day and management should be getting hot water fixed. Housekeeping should also be checking the operation of tvs on a daily basis as well or at least when people check out of rooms. Improvement is needed.

Great little pub - reasonably quiet, nice and clean AND close to just about everything. The only improvement I could suggest is darker window blinds to keep the morning light out a bit. It reminds me of an outback Australian pub where the meals are great, the beer is cold, and the accomodation does the job.

The room was really spacious and fit our family of four. Shared bathrooms was not ideal but the location was great. Was probably a bit noisy until the bar downstairs closed, at around 11pm.

This place oozes with character and charm. Has everything you need. Great stay.

Great room,friendly staff,wonderful service

Bed is getting old, pillows smell of other people's heads, yuck! Room smells of men's sweat, yuck! Shower was a bit dirty, yuck! Nice counter staff and great location.

The guy in room frankie, sang as loud as he could feom 2.30am in the morning. With the tv on full volume. 2 days in a row. Very unpleasant. I understand its a pub accommodation. But thats too much.

Everything were how we have expected but, there was one thing that was confusing. We have reserved for 2 rooms. Which one of the rooms would've been with a king size bed for my husband and I. We ended up with the smaller room which we had to squeeze our selves on the smaller bed. Downside for that smaller room was there weren't no mirrors so we had to go the the restroom to get ready. Which we still have to share with other occupants. The larger room was given to our companion which she was the only one in that room. She had the larger bed and a mirror in the closet which her closet was larger than ours and had 2 night stands with 2 keys vs my husband and I had to share 1 key and share a nightstand as well. I was not too happy about this part. Overall, the managers were super nice and accomodating which they have allowed us to leave our baggages until it was time for us to leave for the airport.
