The Carrington is a beautiful old hotel that has seen better days. It is getting worn out. You have to battle the lift to get on it, the floors and stairs creak ominously. We booked dinner reservations for their lovely dining room but they were not necessary-only 6 other people were seated/eating while we were there. The location may have something to do with this. It is my understanding that Katoomba was once a lovely town, but it also has seen better days. My suggestion is to stay and visit nearby Laura.

The noise from the floor boards are very loud from people above when walking. Buffet Breakfast very minimal for $30 p/p and wanted to charge an extra $5 to cook fried eggs! Also the breakfast staff need to smile, they looked miserable. Very disappointed!

Stayed at the Carrington again for a couple of nights. . .what a gem. It’s a beautiful faded lady with exquisite art deco public areas which are just delightful to be in -whether it’s the bar, the grand dining room or the tearoom. What a change from a bland chain hotel. Staff are great (the bar staff lack charisma) and the rooms are large but simple, ours was warm and stuffy and we couldn’t open the windows as they have been painted over (a small fix for your maintenance team). The hotel website boasts an al la carte breakfast but it doesn’t exist, just a pricey second rate buffet. Tip, pop over the road to the Tempus cafe for a great breakfast for half the price. Overall a great experience.

The hotel was lovely and going back to that Victorian bygone era was a wonderful experience. It was sad that on pur first night the fire alarm went off at 2:30 am and we had to venture out into very cold weather we were there in July. A disappointment was that we weren't informed that to compensate for the trouble the hotel coffered free breakfast to the guests affected. We only found out because we decided to have breakfast at the hotel after our second night check out when they told us the breakfast was on the house due to the inconvenience. Had we not decided to have breakfast at the hotel that morning we wouldn't have been the wiser.

This is the 3rd time staying at this hotel. We booked the Lady Carrington Suite and it was fantastic. Such a comfortable bed, nice and quiet and a great view of the mountains and town. For such an old hotel with so much history, it is kept in great condition. The staff are always friendly and inviting. Highly recommend.
