Katoomba hotellia

Plussat: Beautiful details, comfortable, spacious room. Claw foot tub in bath. Endless hot water! Sumptuous breakfast. Gracious hostess. Step out the door to spectacular views & trails. By all means go eat lunch at the Yellow Deli

Miinukset: Not a thing to dislike.

Plussat: Perfect location / perfect hosts / Amazing breakfast

Miinukset: Everything ok!!

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast. Friendly, welcoming host.

Plussat: The B&B location was excellent and the nearby views at Echo Point were spectacular (day and night). The visitor centre was close by as were walks to various lookouts, including a bridge across to the Three Sisters. We didn't get to the local bar but we did eat tasty Asian food at Miss Lilian and had high tea in the very relaxing Lilianfel Lounge at the BM Resort (birthday present!) all within walking distance. Pretty Leura village was only a short drive away with other nearby walks. We drove to the botanical gardens at Mount Tomah (around 40 minutes) which were lovely, varied and quiet, and well worth the trip. Scenic World was not far away with other guests either driving or walking there (we did both). It was our first trip to the Blue Mountains and whilst we had heard people say how nice it was, we hadn't expected it to be as lovely as it turned out to be. We got aching calves from the many walks we did and 'jelly legs' from some of the views but it was all worth it.

Miinukset: Ate far too much at breakfast.

Plussat: The breakfast was marvelous and the location is more than convenient, you can wake up with the stunning views of the echo point just in front of you. On top of that, and after a good trekking day, you are able to enjoy a good relaxing bath and get dry in front of the fireplace in the Victorian room.

Miinukset: Nothing in my experience needs to be expressed. I found the place cozy and familiar and warm as home.

Plussat: Amazing breakfast, amazing spa bath, amazing views. Decanter of port in the bedroom was a lovely and much appreciated touch!

Miinukset: The house was very prettily decorated - not particularly to our tastes but this didn’t affect our enjoyment at all! In fact it added to the appeal. We wouldn’t normally stay in a B&B but had been recommended this place by family - so pleased we decided to stay there.

Plussat: We thought the accommodation was homely, welcoming and very clean and had good facilities. The cooked breakfast was good. We liked the homemade cakes on offer when we arrived late. The fire being lit when we arrived on a cool night was a nice touch, along with the presentation of the room. I would recommend this accommodation, a great location.

Miinukset: We would have preferred a little more luxury with the cereals/fresh chopped fruit/yoghurt on offer before the menu of cooked food - it would of felt more typical for the price of the accommodation. The signs saying what 'Not To Do' in and around the property were a little overbearing.

Plussat: Kokonaisuus oli erinomainen: kaunis, persoonallinen talo, huone hyvin viehättävä ja tasokkaasti varustelu, aamupala monipuolinen, bonuksena ilmainen iltapäivätee itseleivottuine kakkuineen. Myös talon emäntä oli mahtava, aktiivinen ja läsnäoleva. Asunnon sijainti ei olisi voinut olla parempi! We remommend the apartment warmly!

Plussat: It was exactly what I was looking for, a quiet retreat close to the nature trails with a comfort and feel of a home. I had a studio in the back of the driveway and the only sound I would hear were the birds. The host was very courteous and patient with all my questions about different locations and gave me great tips for where to go. Bed was comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. And I loved the decor! Breakfast was lovely, all food was provided already during check in (in the fridge) and very fresh & tasty. I appreciated the focus on organic/pesticide free. I would only recommend to include a non-sweet option outside of the single-portion vegemite, even just non-flavored steel cut oats if not an egg -- but that is just my preference as I'm limiting processed sugar. I did not cook anything in the kitchenette so cannot comment on that but it seemed to have all the basics. It's only like 10 minutes away from the cliff trail & Echo point so it was perfect for me. I came to town in the morning, went for a hike and then just walked to the place when I was close to the Echo point. I walked back there to watch sunset and then again in the morning for sunrise before checking out.

Miinukset: The only thing I found frustrating was the shower operation. The water temperature was alternating between really hot and really cold. There are separate handles for hot and cold water; perhaps the water heater is far away and it takes a while before you can feel the adjustment in the water temperature. Either way, I found it impossible to find a stable temperature and ended up adjusting it back and forth all the time while I was showering. Perhaps just an information on a good setting would be helpful.

Plussat: This is a MUST STAY! We stayed for 1-night in the family suite and it was so comfy. I wish would could have stayed longer. we arrived a bit early and were greeted by Paul. Paul was still getting our suite ready and suggested we go down to the corner grab something to eat and come back and we would check us in; while leaving our bags. When we returned the suite was ready and our luggage was placed in the suite. The fridge and cabinet were already stocked with our breakfast selections. Fresh fruits, cereals, bread, OJ, water, coffee and tea. The suite looks like a picture perfect little cottage and was just so cozy. Paul was able to get us reservations at "PINS" for our Thanksgiving dinner; which, is literally across the street. BEST MEAL EVER and the price was shockingly lower than expected!!! A must experience! The Scotch Steak, Lamb Meatballs & Spaghetti and Kangaroo were just amazing.Whatever you decide to eat ask the for beer/wine recommendations and they will glad make suggestions. The following morning we had to check out and Jenny & Paul held our luggage so we could do a couple more hikes before catching our train and offered to drive us to the train station when we arrive back as the Blue Mountain Hopper was stopped for their lunch break. Although we were left alone and had limited interactions with Jenny & Paul the whole experience was so relaxing and well worth doing! Jenny & Paul are amazing people and we thank them for such a wonderful and relaxing stay!!!

Miinukset: The only downside to this part of our trip was that we only stayed 1-night :( If possible stay at least 2-nights.

Plussat: Friendly host, wonderful breakfast, comfy environment, close to sightseeing attractions I will be back!

Plussat: There is so ,ugh to like. The warm greeting on our arrival. The lovely suite, with gas fore and central heating. The lovely fur inure and fittings. The port, choices and brownies went down a treat. The hot breakfast was delicious. Hassle free, quiet and felt very welcome.

Miinukset: Having to leave.

Plussat: Cosy gas fireplace in our private sitting room, delicious individually prepared hot breakfasts, special surprise homemade desserts each night. Lots of good advice for making our Australian trip even better.

Miinukset: We liked it all.

Plussat: The owners John & wife were very kind and lovely Breakfast was delicious Room clean and tidy Location good Garden nice

Plussat: Excelled expectations in service, quality and character. Ambiance was quirky but not over stated. All facilities as new. Gardens simply beautiful. Surprise was in house cinema. The hosts have thought of everything a traveller could wish for and have over achieved. Breakfast was a la carte and served to order, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Seriously 5 star plus!!!! A truly wonderful experience which I would commend to all.

Miinukset: This is nit picking and easily remedied - a disposable shower cap for the ladies. The shower itself awesome with rain shower and the bathroom floor heated.

Plussat: Breakfast was freshly cooked and brilliant at a lovely table. The property was a 5 minute walk into town. The interior was warm and cosy.

Plussat: The hosts are extremely friendly and eager to help us with any questions that we might have. We had several long conversations with them during our stay. The breakfast was yummy and quite filling. The location served as an excellent base for touring the Blue Mountains. The hosts were also quite generous in providing us with bottled water and treats. I especially enjoyed the apple pie. The gardens on the property are very nice.

Miinukset: Google Maps was confused as how to reach the house. The secret is to approach from Station Street, then follow Bowling Green Avenue to the end.

Plussat: We were warmly welcomed by the host, John and felt welcome the entire stay. The room was well appointed. The pillows were so comfortable!

Miinukset: The over-all experience was good.

Plussat: Highly recommended!! Great setup, room, bed, bathroom and kitchen all great! Hosts/owners are super nice and hospitable too. Very clean place all round with a nice garden. Going to be staying here again. Thanks

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: The character of the over 100 year old house and the reading material and information available in the living area made it feel like a really nice place to stay. Host also helpful in providing information on walks.

Plussat: It was a real treat to stay in such a well loved and cared for heritage property. Beautifully renovated with every attention paid to recreating an original experience. It does however manage to provide comfortable modern facilities and really good value for money. Breakfast good. Bed comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing to fault.

Plussat: The house was an impressive old house with lots of history. Bedroom was comfortable for 1 night stay although very limited space for clothes.

Miinukset: The attitude on reception was poor and they had failed to provide gf breakfast after confirming it would be available. The shower was old fashioned and below standard.

Plussat: I liked the building and how easy and convenient everything was. It really felt like it was set up by backpackers.

Miinukset: perhaps offer soap in the showers - i often only stay one or two nights and have to unwrap and discard an entire small bar of soap to wash.

Plussat: Sensational decor, history, food.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect!

Plussat: The bed was comfy

Miinukset: The restaurants could be open every night, we were going to eat at the hotels restaurants but they were not open.

Plussat: Location and environment were amazing

Miinukset: Front desk had only one staff and were unable to do room service

Plussat: We just loved the Art Deco lights and accoutrements,beautiful Grand Dining Room and the various lounges in which to luxuriate for the weekend. Great drinks on offer too, we particularly enjoyed the Great Western Golden Ale. Cocktails looked good but we didn't indulge. Good location, just near the station but no noise from the railway and just outside the door is the main street of Katoomba and the Paragon Cafe, oldest cafe in Australia I'm told.

Miinukset: Creaking floorboards! Shower was over the bathtub, not a shower stall.

Plussat: good breakfast nice old building

Miinukset: car parking was a bit tight

Plussat: The location and breakfast were great. It was like stepping back in time, beautiful original Art Deco features through out The Carrington. We’ll be back.

Plussat: Everything. Old building makes a great atmosphere. Staff were great and meals were very tasty. Highly recommend staying here.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nothink at all

Miinukset: Staffs and owner were rude and tryed to stand over me

Plussat: Very comfortable bed.

Miinukset: A few areas could use a fresh coat of paint.

Plussat: Mukava ja avulias henkilökunta sekä rento ilmapiiri. Sijainti loistava.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: A very clean hostel with a huge kitchen, ovens, cooking utensils and even barbecues! Very clean bathroom, free laundry, pool table and movie nights.

Miinukset: Bunkbeds are not very high and pillow a bit light.

Plussat: The receptionist was very nice. The kitchen and hangout area was big.

Miinukset: The location was a bit out of the way with a roundabout crossing you have to cross from the train station, which is a bit weird at night. The towels had stains. The bathroom door would roll over the essential outlet that you can use which will basically destroy your adapter if you're not careful.

Plussat: the location is really great. close to the station.staffs are very friendly.

Miinukset: many group guests are slightly noisy at night. would be better staying at weekdays, will be more cozy.

Plussat: Everything; staff, location, cleaness, room, etc.

Plussat: Close proximity to the Katoomba Railway Station and Main Street and Stop 1 for the Hop on Hop off bus. I liked its old world charm. Staff were lovely.

Miinukset: The close proximity to the railway line meant for freight trains during the night which were very noisy. The wooden floors above my room creaked whenever guests were moving around their room. The hotel is on a very steep street which challenges older persons. There is no disabled access into the hotel from any direction because it’s Heritage status does not permit any. Steep steps at front and rear make luggage hauling problematic. I would stay there again.

Plussat: we liked everything about Metropole the pictures don't do the property any justice in real the place is even more stunning and beautiful. The staff are so friendly and helpful in every way.

Miinukset: there's probably no need to have all the lights on 24/7 throughout the entire guesthouse especially during the night to save electricity, just a thought.

Plussat: It was not the most modern hotel, but it was endlessly interesting ... so many neat rooms and old photographs on the walls ... and the staff and the people staying there were friendly and lovely. Plus, you won't get a better value for a yummy breakfast in the entire Blue Mountains.

Miinukset: The location of being close to the train station was initially what attracted us to the Metropole but the reality of that proximity kicks in at night with the sounds of the freight trains barreling through the station or shutting iin a nearby yard! Still, the hotel is such a calm and down-to-earth place that it more than makes up for the inconvenience.

Plussat: Breakfast (optional) was good. The best thing about the hotel is its originality and charm. I really recommend it.

Plussat: Very conveniently situated, has character, staff excellent. Very good for an overnight stay. Excellent value for money.

Miinukset: Room a bit on the small side.

Miinukset: - I can not pay by cash although in booking web identify that my credit card is only garantees - I can check in before check in time only one hour.

Plussat: Very well located. Parking good on site. Helpful staff.

Miinukset: The property is tired and in need of some updating. Poor internet in room and very limited breakfast unless you upgraded it.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: We were looking at backpackers from our window.

Miinukset: It was ok for the money we paid.

Plussat: The room had lovely views

Plussat: Good location, able to walk to restaurants & bars & walk to Three Sisters

Miinukset: Although refurbished, the décor was very old fashioned

Plussat: Very basic breakfast

Miinukset: I think the cost difference between continental and full breakfast was a cost saving where it wasnt needed as that is last impression so would incorporate that into cost

Plussat: Renovation money was obviously spent on the reception rooms lobby and dinning room. Rooms are basic and ordinary and need upgrading.

Miinukset: No restrauant. There was a reception in the ballroom for teenagers prom but they were not confined to this area and ran around the whole hotel partying in the corridors and using the fire escape making excessive noise. Managment ignored it. There was no assigned security for the event, just one night manager.
