Hotels near Patron Saint of Parks at Night in Sydney

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.

We need to take a rest overnight in Sydney, because the arrival is late, and the departure is early. I meant to book a hotel near the airport, and the homepage says the shuttle airport shuttle is set. As a result, it was only available during the day of consultation. I do n’t know. Fortunately, I contacted Ctrip customer service to solve the problem perfectly. I asked the customer service to call for a car the next morning, but after waiting for 50 minutes, I almost missed the plane. And as other friends have said, to use a credit card as a deposit, what kind of damage can we do in the middle of the night to leave early in the morning? I really do n’t trust myself!

It was a great trip and I think the best point is the location it was so near bus station and fast foods are just beside the hotel.

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

Located conveniently for an overnight stay between flights, the hotel did the job. A reasonably friendly checking-in process and I was grateful for an early check in as well after an overnight flight, thank you Valuesuites. The room is very small, mine had a single bed (not firm, but it was OK) and road noise carries, however with the window closed (which I liked being able to open for fresh air, great!), the road noise was much less. The room is fitted with all you need. Shower hot water was good. The next morning, as a coffee drinker, you are very well looked after with a Nescafe capsule machine on the first floor, with a wide variety of coffee to choose from. This, together with some quality breakfast snacks included adjacent (muesli bars, fruit/nut mix and cheese and crackers), well, these were a nice touch, thank you. For the price, location and coffee:) a good choice for an overnighter between flights that's not too expensive, nor far from the airport / Airport rail / Woolworths and cafes.

Stayed at the Moxy overnight before a flight to LAX. I really enjoyed the vibe. Great “crew” members all extremely friendly and seemed to enjoy their work. A bit of a snafu on a feather free room but remedied immediately! Enjoyed the bar area and food choices not extensive but we liked. Rooms not very large but for a quick one night perfectly fine. You are not really near much but other hotels and the airport. I do recommend the hotel shuttle $10 pp. We took a cab with a very unhappy driver and he did a few circles around the area to up the price. The hotel is close but not walkable. No complaints- fit the bill for us.

Very good hotel, very good service and there are commuter buses to take customers to the terminal every day. The service is also excellent. The facilities are also excellent. Although it is a step away from the airport, there is no noise. It is very good

We stayed at Sydney Park hotel. We spent the afternoon evening in the pub relaxing. This place is absolutely awesome to stay. Calvin worked down at the pub and was so accommodating and attentive to us. Soon as we got there he showed us at rooms, went through everything and was seriously lovely. He was serving us drinks that night and him with the other three staff members that were working they're all just so lovely. We saw all the locals just coming up to Calvin hugging him and having fun with him and the other two staff members. We were able to just relax and do what we want to do I did work on my computer my husband watched basketball on TV it is fantastic. We travel constantly and have stayed everywhere from caravan parks to 5 star hotels and lots of them. We were staying here because we weren't going to be there that long and wanted something quite economic. It was so clean it smells so clean not even musty. The place felt fresh and not at all what we expected. the most awesome quality for that price. Fun times.

The services are not satisfying. When we arrived at the hotel, front desk told us that there was no double room available, and would change the room on the 2nd day. We agreed given it was quite late. So we packed our bags in the next morning and told the front desk we would get back in the noon. As discussed, we should have the new room ready when we were back. BUT, nobody prepared our new room when we were outside, and we ended up waiting for 2 hours. AFTER me reporting the issue to the manager, we have a temporary room for refreshment, instead of waiting in the lobby. Note that this option is NOT offered in the beginning. I’d say the whole process is very unprofessional.

I had my dinner in the hotel restaurant last night. The chicken terrine tastes like rubber pickles and the garlic bread is salty as hell, for which I would like to thank the chef for adding the salt like it’s totally free. A nice couple sitting next to me concluded, “Good service, but sh*tty food”, and they also encouraged me to complain this to the manager. That’s part of why I decide to complain here, but more importantly, to tell more people not to choose their restaurant, and order a freaking Uber eats instead.
