Great place to stay for blue mountains. Be careful if staying as they have no lifts so if you struggle walking up and down stairs ask for ground floor room

Old world charm hotel. Lobbies/lounges are cosy with fireplaces and ample choice of board games to play with the family. Bar and restaurant are also lovely especially for the views of the Blue Mountains. Walking distance to Katoomba St where there are restaurants and shops and short drive to Katoomba Scenic World, Leura and the Chocolate Company. Room tidy however a bit dusty in corners e.g behind bedside desks as I have asthma and it affects me. Could provide some basic amenities like shower caps. Hot water took long time to run for shower and wasn’t much force. Bathrooms could be renovated. Laundry service not available (was under maintenance) and we were relying on doing some washing however they allowed us to use their dryer which was nice. Lovely staff especially Tracey at the restaurant.

The property in many aspects is looking tired; exterior paintwork. The carpets need a good shampoo; just to remove normal wear and tear traffic dirt. Cleaning was generally good but more attention is needed to cleaning into fittings e.g. toilet cystern buttons were clean but the surrounds had small amounts of dirt around them, which would have been easily removed with attention. Still enjoyed our stay there.

Heritage hotel with spectacular views & a nostalgic charm as well as pianist playing in the bar area to enjoy a drink & snack. Stayed 3 nights though overpriced. Unfortunately housekeeping was lacking as beds left unmade, dirty tea cups, snot on one of the pillow cases, carpet need a thorough clean to remove their odour.

We enjoyed three nights here and after paying for an upgrade we secured a nice room with a small gas fireplace and spa bath. We didn’t use the spa, however the fireplace was a nice touch and kept our room surprisingly warm. We always like a room with a couch and table also. The bathroom was a little worn, with chipped tiles and very dirty grout around the toilet base. I was disappointed with housekeeping. We used wine glasses, drinking glasses, coffee mugs and spoons on our first night, which I rinsed out and left on the vanity, however in three days these never moved, they were not replaced or washed up. Also disappointed, that despite paying close to $1500 for our stay, I was charged an additional $3 for about a tablespoon of Hollandaise sauce on the side of my breakfast. I was informed of this charge prior to receiving the sauce, but it still didn’t sit right. The views, the front desk staff and restaurant staff all did a great job and seemed genuinely happy to work there.

The bed was comfortable. Bathroom small but ok. Bedroom furniture is old and has had a few knocks and scrapes. The breakfast was included in our rate and ok but no fresh fruit so had to pay extra for that. Housekeeping on day one not great as no coffee pods for coffee machine, glasses not cleared and towels not changed. Second day was better. Food in restaurant in the evening was nice and service very good

Check in not geared to paying via card stored on phone. Told it would take longer than with physical card! So returned to car to retrieve same! We were alocated a room which is not represented on website except by photo of bedside table! It was a 'dungeon' room, guessing created out of original basement. One descends from reception downstairs via narrow corridors to a room with: No view, no blackout curtains no comfy chairs no safety rails over bath. Coupled with noise from movement in upstairs room including loud plumbing noises. A very disturbed night. No adequate lighting in car park or at late entry door. The communial areas are charming as are the staff but the 'below' stairs rooms are appalling. The property was not by any means fully booked on a Monday so why irritate customers by allocating dungeon rooms. I admit we were on a discounted rate but chose room on description on Website which is definitely misleading. Beware of downstairs rooms.

Staff are ultra friendly and it's actually the only hotel I have had that has called me to ask if everything is ok. The walk to the main street is close although a bit hilly. Lovely large fluffy towels that my wife loved

There was a mix up with payment and the staff handled it with such courtesy it was not a problem. The premises are a little aged, but still better than a similar hotel further up the mountain.

Beautiful location with a warm welcoming feel. The Christmas in July theme was a nice touch. Our room was spacious, clean, and very well presented. Check-in was fine but service overall was poor. We waited 2-hours for breakfast before we had to cancel our order due to the delay. We were also unable to order room service the evening of our stay due to Yule. This celebration was not communicated with us as part of booking or check-in as we would have made a reservation. We had a 1YO with us so having the leave the hotel once we found out the restaurant and room service was unavailable was inconvenient. All staff were friendly but overall service standard in the restaurant was a missed opportunity.

Kids absolutely loved the room - it was spacious and clean with a cosy fireplace in the room. The only thing was that the restaurant was a bit nitpicky with making the kids pay for an 18 dollar continental breakfast when they are only 3 and 5 years but eat barely anything, even though the adults already ordered a full breakfast and the continental breakfast is meant to be complimentary.

The room and adjoining bathroom were both spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed. The restaurant was lovely with a beautiful view of the Blue Mountains, although, the picture windows could do with a clean. The breakfast was wonderful, with grab and go options, as well as order from the menu hot meal options, both sweet and savoury. We had dinner once, in the dining room, and the meal was beautiful. It was a fine dining experience, but casual dress was acceptable. The hotel has old world charm, and is quite lovely. The floorboards do have a bit to say, so I'm not sure how much noise the rooms downstairs would hear? You do hear residual noises from doors closing, but otherwise, it's a very quiet hotel, within walking distance from Katoomba train station and the main shopping precinct. The hop on/off bus was a fabulous way to see the Blue Mtns if you don't have a car. We would stay here again.
