Normally I do not write reviews but where do I start. Arrived about 1430, two rooms booked for two nights, going to the rooms on level 2 saw a used syringe on the stairs informed cleaner. Went to first room only to find no lights, got main light replaced but they didn't have a tube for the small light. The room also did not have a electric jug or tv control, which they replaced. Later that evening used the shower only to have an unbelievable smell of sewerage come through the room and in the hallway which made the room uninhabitable. Although reception was receptive to problem they had no room for two of use to move to. This meant 3 of us had to sleep in the 2nd room and I slept in the putrid room. The second room also had problems with water leaking from under the shower cubicle base onto the floor making it very dangerous, there was also a large amount of hair all over the shower base. We did get moved into another room for the second night but even this had problems with cleanliness as the bench top was covered with something very sticky. Have stayed here many times before covid but this is the first time since and it is my view that the place is trying to get as much money in without spending any on maintenance or cleanliness.

Booked in for a couple of weekend visits en-route to visiting friends in Blue Mountains in March 2024, on advice of some friends who used to live in Sydney. Check in was easy and very friendly, walk into bar and they seem to know exactly why you are there (maybe it's the big travel bags huh?). We stayed int eh KING room, to give us some space, and loved the space we had for bags and hanging spaces in wardrobe. ON 2 stays, we got 2 different, but similar rooms, Rm 3 and Rm 4. Rm 3 is the corner on King Street/Logan Lane, with a great cross breeze when all 3 windows open, but a little more noisy as it faces the main road intersection. Room 4 just as spacious facing St Peters train station, maybe a little more quiet. Windows open in either room certainly showed how 'downtown' this place is, bustling road and train noise in both. Ear plugs supplied in both rooms. If you are noise sensitive, maybe another hotel a better choice, we didn't notice. Transport VERY simple with St Peters immediately over Lord Street only a few meters from the door. For 2 of us from SYD airport it was cheaper to UBER (AUD22) than use train (AUD19 each!).Offer a good discount for booking direct (as has become normal) in owner-operated hotels globally, so give them an email/call to beat any online rate.

My friend got me onto this place. A clean room, comfortable bed and a clean shared shower and toilet for a very reasonable price. Location is ideal for great food , shops and breweries. I'll definitely stay here again, would even bring the family to stay.

We were pleasantly surprised at our stay with General Gordon. The rooms were serviced and cleaned every day, the bed was good and comfy and had all mod cons. The room windows were more than double-glazed, so we could not hear any flights or traffic noise, and we slept well. The General is next to the Sydenham train station. And there is also a bus stop, so getting into the city was very quick. The General, in our opinion, has the best pub food we have experienced. Just have a look at their menu to appreciate it. We ate there as much as possible due to the quality and wholesome nature of many dishes on their menu. We stayed 5 nights, and everything we ordered was good. I highly recommend this Hotel . Most rooms are on the small side, so if you are looking for space, book their larger room.

After reading so many bad reviews about The Urban – I decided to stay there to debunk some of these fussy reviews after being told by a friend that this hotel is after all, a great and very cool boutique hotel. I stayed at The Urban recently on a Saturday night to attend a gig on King Street. Firstly, the location of this hotel is convenient and fantastic! The Urban, situated on Enmore Road of course is close to the heart of King Street, and even better the venue I was going to was only a few blocks up, not to mention the hotel is surrounded by an array of shops, restaurants, and cafes along Enmore road too. So once you park - easy walking is your friend and access to everything that is cool in Newtown is there. For those expecting a 5-star Sheridan experience, this is not for you and maybe that is why you’ve written some of these harsh reviews. Yes, the rooms can be a little loud on and off from Saturday night revellers drunkenly walking past, however, I assume given the location you would be hard pressed to find any hotel that offers complete unbroken sleep – Newtown does not sleep after all, therefore, maybe Newtown is not for you. The Hotel advertises as boutique / Industrial style accommodation, and I believe that is what they offer. The Receptionist staff were friendly – the room was very clean with industrial touches (that’s the whole point of the cement roof, people!). The bed was fantastically comfortable (stayed in a King room), and I absolutely loved the artsy dystopian style greenery in the belly of the building that offered an obscure tranquillity while walking to your room. The Urban isn’t a break the bank cost for one night’s accommodation in this popular area of the Inner West. You will be paying for location, comfort, and cleanliness. I do agree however, the room should offer coffee pods to go with their coffee machine – just as The Urban’s amazing sister hotel The Collectionist did. All this and an 11am check out on a Sunday. We want to say thanks for having us “The Urban” and we will be back

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.

Awesome room and lovely staff. The location is only a 4 because it's a short train journey anywhere, but super cheap and efficient public transport means this isn't really an issue!

Now known as Summer House , New Town. Pleasant and helpful staff generally the occupants are under thirty most are very pleasant some are irresponsible and would be better housed in a pigsty. The accommodation varies most have shower rooms ours was clean and perfectly ok, about 20 minutes bus ride to the center of Sydney.

Absolutely terrible service. I booked this place before an early flight from Sydney the next morning and it was a last minute trip due to the rain storms in NSW that weekend. During a 5 hour train journey from Albion Park (that should actually take 1.5hrs) it became clear that we weren't going to make the midnight check in time, as landslides meant we had to take a bus replacement service. I tried multiple times to contact the hotel but to no avail and so I requested a free cancellation. I didn't get another response until nearly midnight on the day of the booking, by which point I had obviously booked another place to stay. The response said that I couldn't cancel for free as it was within 24 hours of booking. The response failed to address that I had requested to cancel within 15 minutes of booking and that I only cancelled on the basis that I wasn't going to be able to get there for their check in restrictions due to the adverse weather. Funnily enough it looks like we missed a treat with the amount of reviews that mention cockroaches crawling over the beds!! I've tried about 10 times since to contact this place and have had not one response regarding this. Truly dreadful service & such a shame that it's tainted our holiday experience. DO NOT GIVE THIS CORRUPT BUSINESS YOUR MONEY! F**k you Cambridge Lodge.

Clean and very comfortable and quite large hotel room. The staff were friendly and accomodating and having a microwave/toaster in the room was very handy. The location for bus/train to the airport was excellent. A short walk to both the bus stop and the train station. I will definitely choose this hotel again as my 'airport' hotel.
