The property was an old building that required some renovation, despite that it was comfortable accommodation. Beds were comfortable and towels and toiletries of good quality.

We loved the location with good parking and easy access to town and National Park. The old hotel is interesting and the owners have some their best to keep it up to date.

No staff was around, but there was info how to check in after hours. Hotel floor creaks with every step. Smells like abondoned, old house. No screens on windows. There was breakfast available when it said it was included in the fee. The hotel is ok but I will never stay there again.

Exactly what we needed - quiet and comfortable bed for the night. Bathroom newly redone. Basic facilities. Common areas could do with modernisation as guest house as a whole is reminiscent of “bygone era”.

Ms Bronnie at reception counter is the nicest person and very helpful, She shares her knowledge about Katoomba and vicinity and above all she made our stays like home away from home. . Oh yes the male staff (forgot to take his name) at the counter too is very helpful

The location of the property is great. The parking onsite is limited but there is also street parking. The beds are very comfortable and there is adequate heating and airconditioning in the rooms. The bathroom is in need of maintenance to deal with the peeling paint and mould. The breakfast starts at 8am.
