Hotels near Cadigal Reserve, Sydney

Excellent value, great location with light rail nearby and a great courtyard communal area for entertaining/ drinks with friends. Could do with a little bleach in the bathrooms. Would reccomend this motel.

I recently stayed here with my husband and young son. I have given it a 1 star rating for the ease of parking, friendly management and location. Sadly that’s all it has going for it. Yes it’s a budget hotel, however I still expected some services. The building is pretty run down, however this wasn’t the issue. The room wasn’t warm or welcoming for a family. Tiles on the floors, not great when you have a toddler who likes to play on the floor. The room was dirty, someone else’s soap in the bathroom and signs of mould in the bathrooms. Sheets didn’t fit the beds and came off during the night. If you stay here, don’t expect a good nights sleep, as the lights from outside shine through the old 80s style glass above the entrance doors. Also don’t expect your room to be serviced. After discovering the room wasn’t serviced the first day, we asked for fresh towels and requested our room to be on the service list for the following day. No problems was the response. However the next day came and again no service was done. WIFI also did not work. The other guests also made me feel uneasy. Do not recommend for a family or for more than a quick overnight stay. Faulty towers came to my mind!

It’s basic but has everything you need including lots of drawers and storage space and microwave. Not spotlessly clean but far from dirty. Nothing special or exciting but perfectly liveable. The only issue is maintenance like toilet leaking and bed frame wobbley and even the soap holder fell off the wall. The two male staff members were always so friendly and welcoming but the lady working on the Saturday had a cold personality and she would not lend me 10cents so I could use the laundry without having to walk all the way to the bank to get more coins even tho I had 2 more nights already paid for and would have gave them the 10cents back the next day.

Small rooms, very clean, no noise from Parramatta Rd, secure parking. Individual air con units, windows do not open, doors open to an outdoor corridor overlooking a courtyard which is securely locked at night. All the usual amenities expected in a motel. I would have liked a second chair and a soap dispenser over the hand basin. In fine weather it would be a pleasant walk to the Haberfield restaurant *****. In pouring rain, it was an Uber trip. Buses run to the city along Parramatta Rd.

The hotel is good and the transportation is convenient. There is a train station and a supermarket about 200 meters away. There is a small cloakroom in the room where luggage can be stored. There is also an induction cooker. The service staff at the front desk are very friendly.

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.

Great place to stay. Staff were friendly and only too happy to help when required for any issues that presented themselves. Highly recommend staying there, good location. Restaurant has well priced meals, can charge back to room. Also has room service. Undercover car park is a bit tight when in big 4wds, good height clearance.

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.

2pm check in - had to wait around after arriving from international flight at 9am.. basic accommodation, poor shower pressure , okay for price and one night stay

This is a nice hotel, very clean and new, smart rooms, very lovely staff. Bed was comfy. Partial view of the harbour from my room on the 18th floor - I could see sections of water between buildings. The lighting in the bathroom is terrible if you need to put on some make up, and I'm not really a fan of showers with no door, but that seems to be the trend and they are minor quibbles.
