Love the historical vibe of this hotel--especially the stained glass, and community game room, library, and relaxation spaces. Room 18 is not updated like rooms in photo (which is fine), but be aware that this corner room gets quite warm from mid-morning onwards. (Was here during the fall.) The room A/C and ceiling fan couldn't quite keep up, so we opened windows and propped open the door to get some cooler airflow. Nice location for access to town and public transport.

Nice room and bathroom with Comfy bed(s). Friendly and courteous staff. Hotel ideal for rail travellers. On another note we prepaid breakfast with our booking; this was a mistake as much cheaper to buy on the day. Also plenty of choice for breakfast in ithe town. All in all good value.

Wonderful guests house in Katoomba
I recently stayed at a hotel in Katoomba and had a wonderful experience. The renovated room was very clean, modern, and beautifully presented, making the stay comfortable and relaxing. The location is excellent – just a short walk from the train station and close to the bus stop, which made it very convenient to reach all the Blue Mountains attractions. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Katoomba.

I loved my stay here. Super close to everything including transport. The lady at the check in desk was so lovely and extremely helpful. Beautifully furnished library and games room. And the room itself was so nice. Highly recommended.
