Hotel Blue & Cottages, Katoomba

Katoomba|0.56km from city center
~Location~ The location was very central to the train station, town centre, Echo Point and restaurants. It is across the road from the RSL which is convenient if looking for affordable dinner options. The RSL is also stop #5 if catching the Explorer bus making it very easy to get around without a car although we walked to a lot of places. ~The Room & Establishment~ The room was clean and comfortable albeit a bit basic it did have a TV, fridge and coffee making facilities, a small table and chairs and a small cupboard. The bed was comfortable although the pillows weren’t great. Whilst there was AC the room was quite chilly and there were no electric blankets but there was an extra blanket at the foot of the bed. Breakfast is ok but nothing flash. A few different cereals although healthy options are limited, some fresh fruit, only 2 toasters for the whole dining room and some scrambled eggs. Whoever makes the coffee obviously doesn't drink it as it was awful and we heard several other guests say the same :( Hot water/pressure: Fantastic Wifi: Good (did drop out periodically) ~The Service~ Communication: Fair Understandably after the pandemic, staffing has been difficult and changed and as such both reception staff were both new. They were both lovely but things like check in could have gone more quickly and smoothly (eg instead of leaving guests waiting to check in to show other guests where the dining area was, there could be signage and if multiple guests are checking in at a peak check in time *2pm* perhaps both reception staff could be on duty).

Katoomba Mountain Lodge
3.5/525 Reviews

Katoomba Mountain Lodge

Katoomba|0.08km from city center
On arrival the place appeared rundown but not terribly bad. We arrived late and settled into a shared 4 bed dorm. We got lucky and it was just us to start. After an hour of sleep on a bed of rocks, a guest (who was called an annoyance by staff to me) was placed in our room. The gentleman was drunk and noisy upon arrival, up and down with all the lights on and off at least once an hour. This would have been fine except I was informed by an unapologetic and rude staff member the next day (hours after checking out) that there was a spare room he could have been placed in. Being in a shared dorm you expect other travellers, we ourselves had just driven for 15 hours from queensland. The first thing we were hoping to do upon arrival was shower, alas there was no towels to be found anywhere in the premises. And not for a lack of searching either as I searched both that night and the next morning before we left. The room was provided with a tiny electric space heater, which combined with a broken window and high ceilings, did nothing to keep any heat as we froze in our beds all night to the sound of our roommates jet plane snoring. The next morning we promptly checked ourselves out by 10am. Whilst we waited to see if any staff would show (in case you're wondering, they didnt), we shopped around online for a new hotel. Having found a new hotel who could get us in (and with a working shower) by 11am we sent a text to the property asking them to contact us. I prebooked 2 beds for 10 nights, of which we stayed for 1. None of which has been refunded, or acknowledged, after multiple attempts to contact the hostel I was told to take it up with booking.com from the rudest staff member I had yet to speak to. After following all the steps on booking.com I was ignored by the property for 10 days. In this time I have called and sent multiple messages to the property. I would not recommend my worst enemy stay with the conditions we were greeted with. I am yet to receive any communication from the hostel regarding my stay.

Echoes Boutique Hotel & Restaurant
4.4/566 Reviews
Boutique hotel, British style. The rooms and restaurants have a wonderful view, the valley filled with greenery, the elm trees blooming on the top of the tree, the birds rising from the sky, the colorful clouds.
Belgravia Mountain Guest House
3.8/57 Reviews
I think the room itself is clean and can be used without resistance. The employees were kind and charming. The price is conscientious and suitable for long stays.
Three Explorers Motel
4.1/5110 Reviews
While the location was good, the motel itself was not. When we first walked into our room, it smelled damp and musty, and the carpet, chairs and even the beds felt damp too. There were numerous spiders and bugs in the room, including one in the shower, and there were also a number of dust webs which showed it clearly hadn't been cleaned recently, or at least not thoroughly. Furthermore, the beds and pillows were very hard, many of the power points were inaccessible due to their location behind the bed, and the bathroom was very small. We had booked for two nights but left after one as we were so disappointed by the cleanliness of the room, especially due to the current spread of the virus.
Alpine Motor Inn
3.9/5103 Reviews
We booked this for location and restaurant, location of what we needed was great, cleanliness was average the room smelt musty and obviously the curtains had not been cleaned for some time nor were they moved for cleaning behind the curtains, went and asked about the restaurant and breakfast which is no longer in operation however is still advertised on the website and in the hotel information in the rooms. trying to organise some form of dinner was minimal due to no availability for uber eats or other alternative options.
Leisure Inn Spires
3.9/541 Reviews
We didn't know if we didn't know breakfast. There was a parking lot. Check in at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and check out at 10 o'clock in the morning. The station was opposite, it was very convenient, and the supermarket was 100 meters away. The Belgian restaurant opposite the hotel is wonderful.
The Hydro Majestic Blue Mountains
3.8/568 Reviews
The room is relatively small, but the scenery is really beautiful. The layout of the lobby and the hotel has a Chinese classical charm, a fusion of Chinese and Western, and the colors are very beautiful. Breakfast is also very healthy. You can try the afternoon tea and stay there if you have the chance.
