On arrival the reception staff member was welcoming and friendly she had a very pleasant manner. My room was clean but very basic. The hotel requires a major upgrade it is looking very tired. Breakfast was also substandard continental breakfast. Also I noticed both front and back entry doors wedged open to allow people in without keys which I find to be a real security risk. I felt unsafe in my room. The hotel is very close to Katoomba RSL which is very overpriced for pub food and is low standard I couldn’t eat the food due to being overcooked and tasteless. Overall the hotel rooms were clean and the staff were pleasant.

My sister and I booked a twin share room, but ended up really with a room EACH, with steps, a doorway, but no door between them. It was perfect - together, but our own space too! Very unusual, and kind of in keeping with the feeling of being from another era. Comfortable, clean, friendly, everything we could want - and old fashioned. Like revisiting our childhood, but with mod cons!

Bedroom was ok, however fin oil column heater was defective and couldn't be used on our first night which was a bit of a cold night, having to request an additional blanket instead the next day. Staff were helpful and free breakfast provided was nice. Location is pretty good with a coffee shop and RSL across the street. 3 Sisters and shopping mall within walking distance. The hotel is old and you can see it plus hear it when walking (old building squeaking floor). We didn't feel comfortable in siting in the old sofas on the ground floor because of stains. I also didn't see many guests using them either. Compared to other accommodation available around the area, it seemed to be one of the best options.

Comfy, original, good location, pleasant staff.
A lovely old place with leadlight windows, ornate high ceilings, a common lounge with chess and board games set up . Creaky floorboards with an "old" smell to the place! The staff were friendly and helpful. Despite having a clearly marked gluten free toaster, there was no gluten free bread! Sometimes we got parking on site and other times on the street. Rsl next door was handy for food but a long wait as it was peak times. I would happily stay again. The beds were very comfy, the ensuite was modern but had a shower curtain which allowed water to overspray onto the floor a bit.

Need improvements
Stayed with family at the cottage for 2 nights. Some of the issues included: •squeaky beds and floor (the corridor) •unable to access internet. Despite we reported to the reception but the only response we received is “ it should be working” •missing some kitchen necessities such as scourer, dish washing tablet •cleanliness is not the greatest

This hotel was a fantastic find! It has so much character & history inside, also has chess & checkers for you to play if that’s your thing. It’s directly across the road from the RSL which is a bonus and within a 10 minute walk from the shops.
