Great location for a good price
My stay met my expectations. Room had all the essentials and the bed was comfortable. I choose the hotel for its price and location very close to Echo Point. Its an older hotel, which means some allowance is needed for this.

V comfy, spacious & clean room. Location is quiet & a short walk from Echo Point & the Three Sisters, with a bus stop only 1 min away which takes you right into Katoomba town shops & the train station. Excellent restaurants & cafes on the main street in Katoomba with a wide variety of food.

One of the best motels if you want to walk around the Echo point area. The room was tidy & clean, and the check-in was so simple & convenient. Even before 2pm, there was TXT saying 'you can check-in now'

I cannot rate the 3 explorers motel highly enough. It was immaculately clean. Bed linen was crisp and white and towels were lively and fluffy. It had everything you could need including, microwave, tea and coffee plus milk and sugar. An ironing board and a hair dryer plus toiletries and shower caps. You can walk to the Three sisters and Echo point and enjoy the walking trails through the blue mountains. Thank you 3 Explorers motel for a wonderful stay.

The room is clean and tidy, the supplies in room are good enough for a basic stay a night. Should a slipper will be added on the supply list would be completed.
