At Hearty Center Motel, guests describe a budget, retreat-style stay with clean rooms, quiet back-street location, and friendly staff, alongside small, simply equipped rooms, shared bathrooms in many cases, and occasional noise or temperature-control issues.
Many appreciate the massage chairs in rooms and the easy walk to town and trails. Facilities are basic but useful, with shared kitchens and free parking noted, while the on-site restaurant appears closed and some areas feel dated. Expect a simple, low-frills stay that suits cost-conscious travellers comfortable with shared facilities.

This is a retreat hotel for treating people with cancer. I didn’t know that until after I arrived. I didn’t see anyone who was unwell. We I researched the property I realised it’s history. I thought wow, a massage chair in my room, cool European shower with jets etc, a gym and a chapel where I could light incense and candles. Filtered water is available, a fireplace in the eating area and very clean bedding. Whilst the room was small with no wardrobe, I only had an overnight bag and could cope. With a kettle, and a large basin in the room I could make endless cups of tea. It was secure with a lockable front door and coded room key. Cameras were in the corridors. The only draw back is no lift to get up the stairs. It’s on a quiet back street and 10 minutes walk from Woolworths. The staff were helpful and when I arrived the fan heater was on and my room was warm. And, you get to check out at 11am. Ticks so many boxes.

I was the only guest at the property. After check-in I didn't see anyone, including staff. The center was advertised as having a restaurant but it had clearly not been staffed for a long time. The center was also advertised as being disabled accessible but there are no rooms without stairs.

The place is basic but clean and sufficient for a comfortable for the stay. We had a massage chair in our bedroom which worked as a miracle on our muscles after tiring hikes! We also had a personal electric heater in our bedroom. The staff were very helpful and let us leave luggage in their store room on the arrival and departure days. Our stay was pleasant and very cost-effective.

Rooms
Rooms are generally small with limited in-room amenities; the massage chair is popular but can crowd the space. Noise travels in the building, and heating or cooling can be inconsistent, though many find the beds comfortable.

This hotel is one step up from a back packers hostel or caravan park. That said, it was clean and quiet. The tiny room also featured a huge massage chair that probably should have been in the common room. The shared toilets and shower feature was a disappointing surprise, although the shower was a huge capsule that was beamed down from the star ship enterprise. No hand washing facilities after using the toilet, however there was a sink in the room. Wong be returning to this hotel again.

The accommodation I stayed at was by far the worst I have ever experienced. The hot water supply ran out around 8 o'clock, and when I went to the reception for assistance, there was no one available. The heating in the room was completely inadequate for the harsh winter conditions of the Blue Mountains. On top of that, the strong winds outside made matters worse. The entire building appeared rundown and lacked proper noise insulation. I struggled to sleep due to the wind seeping through the window gap. I have serious doubts about the hotel's compliance with legal requirements in numerous aspects. Shockingly, there were no emergency doors or instructions provided. Additionally, it seemed that no staff members actually stayed at the hotel, which raised concerns about its legitimacy. Overall, the entire experience was extremely unreliable and questionable.

Room was good value for money and was exactly what I needed. I wasn't looking to hang out in the room (although it did have its own very good electric massage chair). Shared bathroom. Very clean.The person on reception was very helpful after I left my phone on the train, and he assisted me in getting it back. It is more of a health centre than a hotel or motel.

It’s a great place for the price, location and quietness. But, it feels very empty with lots of rooms. I’ve stayed several times and never seen anyone receiving cancer treatment or the medical desks in use. I think they should revert to trading without the medical facility label as it has loads of facilities or meditation room, gym equipment, large dining area.

Superbly peaceful place to stay. Lovely staff, comfortable bed and great facilities. Sadly the restaurant was closed so I couldn’t sample, but the menu looks fantastic and the room itself is great.

This is a retreat hotel for treating people with cancer. I didn’t know that until after I arrived. I didn’t see anyone who was unwell. We I researched the property I realised it’s history. I thought wow, a massage chair in my room, cool European shower with jets etc, a gym and a chapel where I could light incense and candles. Filtered water is available, a fireplace in the eating area and very clean bedding. Whilst the room was small with no wardrobe, I only had an overnight bag and could cope. With a kettle, and a large basin in the room I could make endless cups of tea. It was secure with a lockable front door and coded room key. Cameras were in the corridors. The only draw back is no lift to get up the stairs. It’s on a quiet back street and 10 minutes walk from Woolworths. The staff were helpful and when I arrived the fan heater was on and my room was warm. And, you get to check out at 11am. Ticks so many boxes.

Quirky but good value for a touristy location. Massage chair in room was an interesting addition. Good that there was a common room with fridges & microwave.

The hotel is strategically located within a 5-10 minute walk to Katoomba village and 15-20 minute walk to Katoomba train station. The bedroom is well equipped with a beautiful comfy bed which provides a good quality nights sleep. There is a heater, hairdryer, massage chair provided in the room. The bathroom has an amazing shower and some bathrooms have heated toilet seats. The kitchen has 2 fridges, a microwave, toaster and complimentary tea and coffee.

I was the only guest at the property. After check-in I didn't see anyone, including staff. The center was advertised as having a restaurant but it had clearly not been staffed for a long time. The center was also advertised as being disabled accessible but there are no rooms without stairs.

Wasn’t quite sure what to expect and indeed , the Hearty centre is an unusual accommodation option. A mix of 3 star hotel with pub or hostel accommodation. Chose because only place in Katoomba at a reasonable price. Room booked was not available but the young manager did a good hospitality job to make things work. Very basic, reasonable location and given it seems a facility that provides accommodation for health compromised folk, happy to support it

Not what I expected unfortunately. Room was nice and cosy with a comfy bed, blanket and heater (handy as it was freeeeezing) however the place felt so isolated and desolate. The kitchen amenities did not even have a sink or hob, and the bathroom did not have a sink either? Was a shame as I was looking forward to my visit there, but felt the need to leave a day early.

We were shocked at the condition of the room. We paid $400 for 1 night and the bathroom tap ran all night you couldn't turn it off and the condition of the bath was bad so we didn't shower. The bedside light didn't work so I had to read with my I phone. Very disappointing.
