This is a very old motel - it was clean except or the carpets - I have allergies and it was terrible! The motel is very old - although the bedding and towels etc were clean - needs updated with carpet removal
Beautiful old world character room in the blue mountains, convenient to scenic world & the RSL club.
Great room for the price with all you need for a short stay.
Bed, A/Con, Tv & a good Shower.
Would love to stay again.
Completely painless check in, the room was lovely - lots of space for a family. Easy to get to, close to where we needed to be. I would definitely return.

Liked: Room comfort
The rooms were comfortable. However the shower head dripped, and the when we turned on the spa jets, bits of things came out. So we couldn’t use it and had to shower instead.
We have stayed here before 2 years ago with some friends but this time have left feeling very disappointed
The dust is out of control and needs a deep clean. I am quite a healthy person but over night I felt my throat being really irritated and closed up and my boys also coughing throughout the night.
It is not a viable place for anyone to stay
We were meant to stay for 2 nights but only ended up staying 1. Left first thing after the first night. We thought about staying the second night but when we were out still felt the after effects and just did not feel comfortable coming back to sleep another night so we just left
We have contacted management directly and not heard anything back :( poor experience overall

Good location, walking distance to Echo point. Family room was good size (1 queen, 2 singles) and included a table with 4 chairs. Decor is quite dated and could do with a spruce up, but many Katoomba hotels are similar. Bathroom clean and good shower. Fridge needed a defrost and clean.
The room was ready earlier than check-in time. Access to our 2nd level room was via exterior stairs. We were unable to get an Uber or a taxi from the site, so we used the Explorer bus, which we caught at Echo Point, several blocks away, to get our luggage to and from the train station.
