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.

Gorgeous heritage building surrounded by grass and garden. Outsdide seating under large shady trees was a blessing on a hot day. The Continental breakfast in the heritage Dining Room was well presented and delicious.

A Unique Experience in a Historic Gem
The historic building and elegant interior left a strong impression. The staff were incredibly kind, and the complimentary breakfast was delightful. While there were a few inconveniences due to the building’s age, the unique experience it offered made it all worthwhile. I was very pleased with my stay.

Great stay at the Currington Hotel
We enjoyed our stay at the Carrington - beautiful and spotlessly cleaned room and bathroom, very comfortable bed, complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner at the hotel restaurant - delicious food and fantastic service. Thank you.

Lovely old world charm in the Blue Mountains. Always like to begin with the positives. Decent size rooms with high ceilings and clean throughout. Location is an easy 5 minute walk from the railway station and the local bus stops in front of the hotel. The lounge and bar areas ooze charm and a continental breakfast is included. Many rooms are not air-conditioned and the window opens about 200mm. No ceiling fans so some people will be challenged with the summer heat.Some of the staff would rather be elsewhere and it shows. We thought some local newspapers would be a nice touch in the foyer and maybe include specialty coffee's with breakfast.

This is a beautiful place to stay. We stayed here for 2 nights as a final destination after doing a road trip for 12 days. It was lovely just to sit on the verandah and relax with a book and a nice drink. The only thing i would probably say is that they kept the heating on in the hotel all day and night, i know this is a really big old hotel that may get cold in winter but it was so hot and stuffy. We had to have the air con going in our room all the time just to feel some coolness. But that was my only negatively about this great place.
