What guests think

Blue Mountains Heritage Motel is praised for its central Katoomba location and friendly staff, with many guests finding rooms comfortable and good value, though feedback on cleanliness and the building’s age shows mixed experiences across different stays.

The location is walkable to cafes, supermarkets, the train, and major sights like Echo Point and Scenic World. Rooms are often spacious and cosy with basic amenities, but the heritage building can mean creaky floors, some noise, and bright car park or street lights. Cleanliness is frequently reported as good, yet several guests mention mould, stained carpets, dust, and aging fixtures needing attention; on-site parking helps, though spaces can be tight or awkward. Best suited to travellers seeking a practical base rather than a polished hotel experience.

Charming property; great location on the Main Street, close to cafes, groceries, stores, and 20 min walk from echo point (5 min by bus). Super friendly staff, room with kitchenette, very convenient. On site parking too.

Convenient accommodation, but awkward to park, and to access room with bags. No reception, all DIY. Room comfortable enough, but older and had limitations.

It was great for a 4 night stay. Lovely welcome and staff were very happy to help. The bed was comfortable and as it was winter, good controllable heating. Having a fridge and microwave in the kitchenette was really helpful. The car park lights at night, and the really bright hallway lights were the only thing that was annoying, but I guess they keep them on for security.

Roomy delightful room looking out from second floor. No toaster in kitchen area. Car park brighter lights too bright that stayed on all night and not dimmed. Windows were not able to open very far!

Don't expect a fancy looking hotel. This is an old building, but despite being slightly run down in parts, we found it adds a level of country quirkiness and homeliness rather than being a negative. All staff we encountered were friendly, courteous, and helpful. The room was very large, and the layout for us was perfect, with a little kitchen nook where mum and dad could enjoy a chat and a drink after Mr 5 had gone to sleep. The motel was nice and clean, offered good facilities, and the free parking was a plus. The location could not be better, right in the middle of Katoomba within walking distance to Echo Point (20 mins walk with a 5 year old in tow) and Scenic World (25 mins), but even if you don't want to walk the buses are brilliant. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and pubs nearby, and the train station is only a short walk away as well. As an added bonus ALDI is just across the road. If we're heading back to Katoomba we'd definitely stay again.

The Property was very run down and needs some love put back into it. Our room looked out on the carpark so a very bright lights at night that don't turn off. We have stayed in better condition accommodation in Bali so for the price we paid I was disappointed in the room, the location was great, Bed was comfortable.

Very nice quaint motel. Rooms were great and nothing to complain about. There didn't seem to be enough parking space and the available ones were tight or impossible to get into with another car next to them, I had to park down the road on the second night.

Die Unterkunft liegt gegenüber eines Aldis und direkt am Beginn einer kleinen Shoppingmeile. Nach 10 Minuten spazieren ist man auch in einer sehr guten Brauerei, wo man den Abend mit Einheimischen verbringen kann. Unser Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber, das Bad auch. Parkplätze gab es direkt im Innenhof.

2 night stay in the king room. Jacuzzi bath was a nice relax at the end of a day. Great location, large choice of eating places nearby. On the ground floor, so separate entrance & some traffic noise. Good parking.

Variable quality of room servicing. Some towels replaced. Some taken and not replaced. Bath soap dispenser empty but not refilled. Bit of a mixed bag. No consistency. And consistency - the same experience, regardless of who is servicing the room - is the key to a high quality stay.

Rooms

Many rooms are spacious and comfortable with basic amenities or kitchenettes, but the heritage building brings dated fittings, creaky floors, and occasional noise, with some light intrusion from the car park or street and awkward spa/shower setups.

It is a heritage building so she is an old girl with creaky bones but is part of the history and landscape of Katoomba. Excellent location right in town. Walk from train. Walk to tourist sites. We had late check in and it was very easy. Upkeep of an old building is ongoing and painters were refreshing the common areas while we were there. We loved our quiet midweek stay. We stayed in room 9 up 2 flights of stairs, the room was huge, light and airy! It had air conditioning heating and a king sized comfy bed. I would take out the spa in the bathroom as it is difficult and a bit dangerous to climb into for a shower and would save water. There was a bottle of wine left for us to toast our stay.

Decided to go away for the night, picked this motel because it is close to everything, plus you can get a good buffet breakfast down at the metropole on gang gang st for $15 bargain. Good size room with spa bath, but some of the jets were not working, plus the size of the room you get a little tv,the place is also quiet, have stayed once before.

Reception had just closed when we arrived, but we were sent very clear check in instructions. Luckily the receptionist was still on site and went above and beyond to assist all of the late comers. Clean and tidy with a rustic charm.

The staff is very friendly and gave us some great advice on where to eat and the bus stop location. The room had a couple issues that should be addressed. We stayed in room #1, the toilet has internal leak that caused it to make noise through the night. It’s a small maintenance issue and these things happen. Also the plug in heater on the wall has a squeaky noise so we unplugged it and used the split system. Otherwise our stay was really great and we will definitely recommend it to all. Your staff’s friendliest made a great impression and are the reason why we highly recommend your establishment. Cheers
