No staff was around, but there was info how to check in after hours. Hotel floor creaks with every step. Smells like abondoned, old house. No screens on windows. There was breakfast available when it said it was included in the fee. The hotel is ok but I will never stay there again.

I had booked a 2 rooms but got an upgrade to stay at Annie's cottage as we were 2 families. The cottage was beautifully maintained. The house was clean and comfortable with parking at the back. Very close to Katoomba station and town centre. We loved our stay there.

Katoomba

Just had one night here in a standard room. Room was compact but any longer we would have been tripping over everything. But t had all we needed. Bathroom is compact. It is an old hotel but is in keeping for the area. Location is good. There was a continental breakfast, which was good to start the day.

Functional 3 star property, was expensive for experience as it’s run down (carpets worn, old furniture, paint). Mattress is lumpy, air con has permanent sign to say it doesn’t work. Tiny shower. Shame the owners don’t invest into the property. Cleaners do a great job, great sheets

Run down and overpriced

Totally run down and overpriced! Avoid it! The carpets in the room were old and filthy. When it rained I had a water leak dripping beside the bed. The bathroom was best part but temperature from the shower changed so much and so quick, I got scolded on my back. For the hotel info - I was in room 5 and the waterfall was right hand side of bed - I guess you know as the paint was peeling!

The property is quite dated although some may say “historic”. Our king room was an adequate size, however the bathroom was quite small. The room was clean, but the property doorways and entryways needed some cleaning. The included breakfast was very basic and described as such.

Free breakfast was cereals and toast. It was nice that it was very quiet and homey, despite the walls being as thin as paper. Best part was the location - very accessible to a lot of dining areas and the sites.
