6/10 Good

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.

4/10 Fair

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).

6/10 Good

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.

Price is good and a friendly staff member helped me carry my luggage upstairs. The neighborhood is great! Hotel is above a pub, I was there on a Thursday night and it was quiet. No air conditioning, there is a ceiling fan. It was hot the night I was there. Sheets were clean, carpets were stained. My room had an en-suite with sink and toilet, shower down the hall. Hotel was clean, but pretty dated.

Clean & cheerful; big room with window and fan; kitchen well equipped; no hot water in shower (but it was early) … no mirrors for shaving but for the price the whole was acceptable.

2/10 Poor

We tried to stay at the Erko however the room wasn't in a fit state, sockets hanging off the wall and stains on the toilet door which looked suspiciously like blood sprayed on it - We didn't bother unpacking and the hotel offered us a refund given the state of the room / they didn't have any others available despite the fact our booking had a no refund clause. 3 months later now and still no refund so the Manager stops taking calls. I'd avoid it totally. To be fair the duty manager on at the time did offer to help us find other accommodation / a meal as recompense.

Great little room with a comfy bed in a great location. The only issue I had was the rooms do not have air conditioning, so the room was sweltering hot (I stayed late January), and even with the window open the room did not cool down in the slightest. There is a ceiling fan, but it just pushed the hot air around. I would say it was probably the worst nights sleep I’ve ever had, but that was purely from the heat. Everything else about the place was comfy/convenient.
