Great place to stay! It was so nice getting there at 7 p.m. and being able to sit down straight away for dinner. We didn't need to go out and try to find an open restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The fire in the bar was lovely on a cold night. The rooms were so clean and very warm. We will definitely stay here again!

Warmly welcomed to a comfortable queen size bed, pillows & lovely thick bath sheets. Italian Restaurant food both nights was enjoyable & both restaurant & bar staff very knowledgeable & helpful. Staff should be congratulated for mentoring & fostering intellectually challenged youth in the hospitality setting of the hotel. We also particularly enjoyed the classical pianist who played for guests on Friday evening during the dinner hours. We had a lovely time despite the inclement weather & will definitely return.

I loved my stay. A beautiful, grand, historic property in a very special village in the Blue Mountains. This place is so welcoming and extra important because it is a hotel that nurtures and trains people with a disability to learn hospitality skills and gain experience and confidence. Expect a lovely highlands country, historical retreat. No TV in the room but all the comforts of home and great internet connection. Beautiful spaces to hang out in for work on your laptop or just to relax. Really family friendly too. They love kids.

Old 1870's mansion being redone as training for challenged youngsters. Wonderful people and 1st class dining. A stay that will leave you with a smile and a bright future for the staff. We will be back. Great spot for small business conference & staff training. The stay has brightened or trip. Pastries are to die for.

The hotel staff were really lovely. Overall the hotel was a nice, quaint, clean boutique. Its old charm is captured well and with their fireplaces it would be comfortable year-round. We will certainly return! Easy parking and a nice little park across the road. We ate at the restaurant on our first night too, and it was a great Italian meal - seems like locals also go there to dine which is a good sign. We loved that the hotel supported the charity Two Good with its in-room bathroom amenities, meaningful choices that also smell great! The included continental breakfast was also fine and an added bonus we enjoyed. Unfortunately no espresso coffee in the restaurant, only Nespresso pods, but there is a little cafe on the corner you can walk to and support. Also, not a criticism of the wonderful Etico but a hope generally for the future, it would be amazing to see more hotels in Blue Mountains introduce an EV charger for guest cars as charging is hard in the mountains, hydro majestic is the only one :(

I was in the area for work and was extremely fortunate to choose Hotel Etico for my stay. I arrived fairly late in the evening to a beautiful old Manor with a magnificent stately feel. My room was spacious and was very comforting. It was wonderful to set myself up in the Library and complete some office tasks at the end of the work day and to later sit by the fire in the dining room. I shared some wonderful conversation with the staff and was absolutely delighted with my stay. I can’t wait to be working in the area again and am already looking forward to my next visit. Special thanks to all the staff, but especially Cleo, Katie, Natasha and Michael, whom all made my stay more memorable.

Loved this place! Stayed here one night while we visited the Blue Mountains on a trip back to Sydney. The hotel has a lot of history and character and the room was very clean and quiet. Breakfast the next morning was very nice. Just missed the roos that come through the yard early in the morning. Would definitely stay here again.

Will absolutely visit again. The room was clean and inviting, wifi worked a charm, private and safe. While I stayed on a Sunday when everything is traditionally closed, it was easy to get to Blackheath for a bite to eat at the pub. I also want to mention how fantastic the staff at Etico were, including the front office and the cleaning staff. Thanks so much for making my working Monday so enjoyable.

We loved the concept of Hotel Erico viz. providing training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities in the hospitality industry. While not a very high grade accommodation, it has everything one would expect from a solid B&B in terms of comfort, cleanliness, hygiene, continental-style breakfast etc.

A nice find in Mount Victoria, and an easy 5 minute stroll from the railway station. Nice surroundings, and a beautifully restored heritage building. Sadly, my timing meant I couldn't experience the restaurant for either dinner or breakfast. My bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the room very clean. No air-conditioning, but a fan is provided in the room, and most of the year in the mountains, you won't need air-con anyway. There is a small amount of road noise - mainly from trucks using engine braking, but after falling asleep, nothing woke me.

It was extremely quiet and we felt like we were the only ones there even though it was fully booked. Whilst there are fancier places to stay, you cant beat Hotel Etico in terms of value for money. Great location withi. Easy commute of Blue Mountains attractions.

The hotel is lovely and perfect for what we needed. Had dinner both nights at the restaurant there. The food was amazing! The service was excellent! All the staff in the hotel were so nice and helpful. Love what they are doing there, the training and employment of young people. Very special! Highly recommend staying there!!!

I loved my stay at Hotel Etico. We were warmly greeted by Lorna who gave us an orientation tour of the grand Manor House. The history of the hotel is fascinating. We were aware that the hotel trains young people with disabilities to learn the skills to participate in the hospitality industry. We were served by Brandon, one of the trainees and were impressed by the skills he has learned. The mentors and trainees worked together beautifully and the service we received was faultless. In fact, the training programme made our visit more enjoyable than the usual hotel visit. Our enjoyment was shared by all the other guests who were privileged to be part of this wonderful social enterprise programme at Hotel Etico.

I loved my stay. A beautiful, grand, historic property in a very special village in the Blue Mountains. This place is so welcoming and extra important because it is a hotel that nurtures and trains people with a disability to learn hospitality skills and gain experience and confidence. Expect a lovely highlands country, historical retreat. No TV in the room but all the comforts of home and great internet connection. Beautiful spaces to hang out in for work on your laptop or just to relax. Really family friendly too. They love kids.

Will absolutely visit again. The room was clean and inviting, wifi worked a charm, private and safe. While I stayed on a Sunday when everything is traditionally closed, it was easy to get to Blackheath for a bite to eat at the pub. I also want to mention how fantastic the staff at Etico were, including the front office and the cleaning staff. Thanks so much for making my working Monday so enjoyable.

We loved that this hotel is a social enterprise employing people with a disability. Warm, friendly, helpful staff. The bedrooms are just lovely. It was extremely quiet and we felt like we were the only ones there even though it was fully booked. Whilst there are fancier places to stay, you cant beat Hotel Etico in terms of value for money. Great location withi. Easy commute of Blue Mountains attractions.

The hotel staff were really lovely. Overall the hotel was a nice, quaint, clean boutique. Its old charm is captured well and with their fireplaces it would be comfortable year-round. We will certainly return! Easy parking and a nice little park across the road. We ate at the restaurant on our first night too, and it was a great Italian meal - seems like locals also go there to dine which is a good sign. We loved that the hotel supported the charity Two Good with its in-room bathroom amenities, meaningful choices that also smell great! The included continental breakfast was also fine and an added bonus we enjoyed. Unfortunately no espresso coffee in the restaurant, only Nespresso pods, but there is a little cafe on the corner you can walk to and support. Also, not a criticism of the wonderful Etico but a hope generally for the future, it would be amazing to see more hotels in Blue Mountains introduce an EV charger for guest cars as charging is hard in the mountains, hydro majestic is the only one :(

A nice find in Mount Victoria, and an easy 5 minute stroll from the railway station. Nice surroundings, and a beautifully restored heritage building. Sadly, my timing meant I couldn't experience the restaurant for either dinner or breakfast. My bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the room very clean. No air-conditioning, but a fan is provided in the room, and most of the year in the mountains, you won't need air-con anyway. There is a small amount of road noise - mainly from trucks using engine braking, but after falling asleep, nothing woke me.

Dining
On-site dining receives strong praise for tasty dinners and enjoyable breakfasts, and the bar and fireplace atmosphere adds to the experience. A few note occasional restaurant closure and basic coffee options (pods rather than espresso).

Great place to stay! It was so nice getting there at 7 p.m. and being able to sit down straight away for dinner. We didn't need to go out and try to find an open restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The fire in the bar was lovely on a cold night. The rooms were so clean and very warm. We will definitely stay here again!

Warmly welcomed to a comfortable queen size bed, pillows & lovely thick bath sheets. Italian Restaurant food both nights was enjoyable & both restaurant & bar staff very knowledgeable & helpful. Staff should be congratulated for mentoring & fostering intellectually challenged youth in the hospitality setting of the hotel. We also particularly enjoyed the classical pianist who played for guests on Friday evening during the dinner hours. We had a lovely time despite the inclement weather & will definitely return.

Had a wonderful two night stay!!! Was part of a family get together, nine in our group which included my elderly parents (it was their wedding anniversary). The hotel is lovely and perfect for what we needed. Had dinner both nights at the restaurant there. The food was amazing! The service was excellent! All the staff in the hotel were so nice and helpful. Love what they are doing there, the training and employment of young people. Very special! Highly recommend staying there!!!

Old 1870's mansion being redone as training for challenged youngsters. Wonderful people and 1st class dining. A stay that will leave you with a smile and a bright future for the staff. We will be back. Great spot for small business conference & staff training. The stay has brightened or trip. Pastries are to die for.
