Obviously the property is undergoing restoration, so it is difficult to rate at this time. I hope that when it is restored, it will be considerably better in surroundings than it is now, as it is in a dilapidated state with limited facilities.

Comfortable room at a fair price in a walkable area. Very close to a big club that does a cheap lunch (even on a Sunday). You could walk or take a short 5 minute drive to Katoomba central. Council parking rates are seriously expensive down at the Echo Point Lookout (3 Sisters). It is a fairly long hike there, but you can drive a k.m. down the road and find free parking, walk the extra 500m. That gives you time to take the free walks which are the true highlight of the area without wasting $20 per hour on council parking. Your other choice these days is the $70 fee per person to use the Scenic Skyway and Railway. No cheap family day in Katoomba doing that. It's good if you have spare money but there are other ways to enjoy your money. Keep this location in mind.

We liked the friendly, helpful staff at the Clarendon but the facilities in our room were very old and some towels etc were missing. The building is well situated for walking around the town, however.

The service was excellent. But the hotel room really smelled like urine and after one day the toilet started leaking. But besides that everything was great. The stay was very affordable!
