Liked: Cleanliness
The Hotel is a grand building but whilst the staff did their best to provide a good service, the overall feeling was one of cost cutting being in place. The continental breakfast has been replaced by a 'High Breakfast' where every bit of food provided was in controlled portions. Staff appeared to be under pressure and to not be able to enjoy their job which suggests to me some management issues. Despite that two of the main reception staff were excellent and one of the breakfast waiters provided a good service. The impression is that the hotel prefers to host events and functions as opposed to having paying guests.

The Carrington is walking distance from the train and close to everything in Kootomba. The hotel is historic, which means old and needs a bit of a facelift. Some of the staff was outstanding like Shelia, others were just ok. We enjoyed the adjoining restaurant with great food and live music. We even had walked around Scienic World. Overall a good stay 3 Star property that’s very well located.

Great/grand restored old (1880) hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Many of the businesses around are run down, but the scenery is wonderful! Get tickets for the hop on hop off bus at the hotel desk. The bus guide is great, with many recommended activities at most of the stops.

Great heritage hotel in Katoomba. Desk staff were great. Hotel is a window into past stately properties and has been renovated well. Room was well appointed but the mold around window frame in bathroom and the broken shelf in shower were disappointing. Bed was far too soft and clearly past its prime. Trash bin in bathroom was annoyingly small but the good sized trash & recycling bins in the main bedroom helped. Included parking in the garage was a great benefit.
