Sky Rider Motor Inn

No wifi throughout my stay(they said it's the weather(?)). Restaurant is inactive which makes it a 20 minutes walk hassle just to get coffee in town. TV won't turn on. Since it's not in town, I recommend it only if you come with a car. Rooms are indeed clean and bed is comfy.

Was amazing stay ..great location and staff are very accommodating..I recommend the place to stay if you guys are looking for a hotel that has a great value for your money..

I arrived out of hours, late # 11pm. Owner did not attempt to make me feel bad/guilty for my latenesses. Magnificent room. Spotlessly clean and tidy. A pleasure to stay.

Jamie provided us with the best greeting we have ever had at check-in. He was warm and friendly on arrival and asked us did we know the area and were we looking for anything in particular. He then took the time to highlight the specific locations on a map that would be ideal for our photographic adventure. We arrived in the early evening and Jamie had the heater on in our room and the lights on for us and this was greatly appreciated on a cold Katoomba evening. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable, The large bathroom was recently renovated with plenty of hot water in the shower. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and fully intend to do so in the future.

Quality room and service for a reasonable price. Very happy with the facilities and the room. Service was magnificent - extremely helpful staff. Thoroughly recommend staying here.

Price reflects the real value. For me, bed and linen was not comfortable. If you’re sensitive to cheap bedsheets, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

There is something about motor inns where there’s a community of guests and not just a collection of guests. We stayed 3 nights in Katoomba and had the most wonderful time chatting with other guests by the pool and exchanging tips on what to see and do. It was perfect for us.

The property is perfectly located as a base from which to explore the stunning Blue Mountains. It isn't within easy walking distance of the main drag with its busy shops and eateries, but close enough not to be inconvenient. Check-in and out was easy but for the absence of American Express acceptance. The rooms are comfortable with good lighting, aircon, fridge and microwave. There is a clean modern bathroom. The beverage station is well stocked and includes crockery and cutlery for food. There is also a communal BBQ. Rooms are serviced daily. Flaws include insufficient bathroom supplies - toilet paper, soap, shampoo and no conditioner. The fridge is small and had no ice tray. The television is outdated, has limited channels (excludes the ABC, and does not offer ant streaming capability. With several days of heavy rain, an additional form of entertainment would have been appreciated. There was no washing up liquid or scourers to clean the used crockery and cutlery. The bathroom basin was not appropriate for washing up either. Despite the minor flaws, the Sky Rider offers good value.
