Best Newtown Hotels

This hotel is very good, with convenient transportation. There is a train station and a supermarket 100 meters away. There is a small cloakroom in the room. It is very convenient to store luggage. There is also an induction cooker, microwave and tableware. The front desk staff is very enthusiastic.

My two kids and I were visiting Sydney to catch up with friends for a few days and just needed a place to crash in the evenings. I used to be a local so knew the Erko would be the perfect home base for our plans - close to transport, groceries, shopping, cafes, and sushi! The 3/4-person room was spacious and clean, the shared bathrooms in good condition (although you had to run the shower for a good 4min before the hot water kicked in! Once the temperature was good it remained steady but I cringed at the waste of water at the outset), and the shared kitchen had great facilities. Although it was noisy when the pub was open, the sound remained unobtrusively in the background (like someone having a party next door) and disappeared altogether by midnight. We were very happy with our experience overall (my kids really want to come back sometime!) especially relative to the price. The only things I would recommend they improve is to get a hot water system installed closer to the bathrooms and see if they can reserve some customer parking in the council carpark next door - I managed to snag one of the two unrestricted parking spots right outside the door on our second day but it was pretty stressful having to move the car every two hours until then. It would also be great to get provide reverse-cycle aircon and secure wifi but those aren't deal-breakers given that we had enough bedding to stay cozy and the council provides free wifi coverage in the area. If you're just looking for a well situated crash pad while visiting Sydney I highly recommend the Erko. Thanks again for a great stay.

This hotel is in Newtown where you can enjoy sightseeing. In my opinion, it is very easy to travel from this hotel because there is a bus stop in front of it. Moreover, this hotel has a shuttle bus service which can drop you off at the airport. It’s very comfortable for me. I like it🫶🏼.

Breakfast is not good, milk, bread, cereal, jam, nothing else, not suitable for Chinese, maybe foreigners prefer

The futon was fluffy and very comfortable to sleep on. There was a pub on the first floor, but I was able to sleep without it bothering me too much. Amenities were provided, so basic living was not an issue. If I had to say one thing, I would say that if the water pressure and temperature control of the bath shower could be improved, it would be perfect.

I was lucky enough to have my room ready in advance, before 2PM and since my flight arrived early in the morning, that was really nice ! Cathy was also a wonderful person in general, throughout my stay. The room is pretty big, with a sink and a fridge. 👌🏻 The room I had is next to the common area however people weren't too loud, especially in the evening despite it roughly being the dinner time so that was nice. The area is very chill, a few schools and houses around so not loud at night. It is, however, situated on the planes' route and they are pretty low in the sky since it gets close to the airport. But there aren't any at night (around midnight until 6AM I would say) and it's not every 5 minutes either. The sun set pretty early at that time of the year and to me, I felt like the neighborhood lacked lights for people to walk around but it wasn't much of a bother and not something the lodge can change, so just a heads-up to have a small light/enough battery on the phone to use when coming back from your day trip activities.

Stayed for a week and was generally satisfied. It is 2 bus stops away from Sydney University and 10 minutes walk. There is a food supermarket nearby that is open until 11 o'clock and 2 cafes for filling your stomach; but it is not as convenient as other areas; the hotel has a self-service laundry service, but the washing machine is very dirty, not as good as the nearby laundromat; the waiter cleans the room casually every day, sometimes only making one bed, sometimes forgetting to clean the bathroom; like most Australian hotels, there are no slippers or toothbrushes, so Chinese friends need to bring their own.

According to the local Chinese, the Camperdown area is an area with low housing prices, and of course the level of safety is no different from other places. We stayed here for one night as we were going to the University of Sydney, which was right next door, and the price was right. It is worth reminding that this hotel requires 10 o'clock check out. The bed is very soft, the quilt is not a quilt cover, but two layers of sheets are folded, of course it is not unique to them, and it was also done in Cairns Hilton later.

Apartment life is convenient and resident. It is a home. But it is close to the main road. Noisy
