"Fabulous location, an easy walk to Katoomba shops, restaurants, cafes and next to the RSL. There was a microwave in the common area for use. There's plently of free street parking outside the hotel. The room had a comfortable bed and a good shower. The hotel is dated just needs more attention to cleaning and maintance"

"I loved my recent stay here, I didn't want to leave. Everything was so convenient, turn left there was Coles, Woolies, Kmart, Big W just 5 mins walk away. If you turn right there's 5 mins walk away from Katoomba RSL. Then there's the local restaurant and shops along the street. Everything was just easy to get to. It was only 5 mins drive to Scenic World. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We stayed in a room right across from Aldi which was facing the main road but it was so quiet, no major noises the police station was just the street too. There was no sirens going off at night. Just a beautiful relaxing comfortable stay. Thank you so much."

"The room was stunning and super clean and tidy. It had every amenity we needed (except a freezer section in the fridge). Champagne on arrival to celebrate our anniversary made it super special! The shower is hot with great water pressure. The bed was so comfortable and luxurious. I’m just disappointed the outdoor pool was closed and I wasn’t aware. It’s closed 2/3 of the year and you can’t sit by the pool either which is a shame."
