Direct train from Sydney. Very quaint traditional old mining town, old fashioned 'high street' with plenty of places to stay and eat. We stayed in the grand Carrington Hotel which has a lot of history as part of the evolution of the town. Our main reason for visiting was to easily access the Katoomba based hop-on/off bus to visit The Blue Mountains. This worked perfectly and as well as seeing Katoomba and the blue Mountains, we also got to visit the pretty neighbouring village of Leura which is included in the route. We felt we made a very good choice.

Katoomba has everything you will need or find in a regional town. The large supermarkets are available and open for longer hours for groceries (Aldi, Coles, Woolworths). The shops and restaurants close early, so check times and organise around that. There are limited number of restaurants and eateries in town. We ate at Rustico - this place is almost always full (even on weekdays) - best book ahead. We had one sunny day out of 3 days. Luckily that was enough to visit Scenic World, do the rides and walk around. We recommend taking the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus (hop-on hop-off) to minimise driving. There are many easy to medium walks along the clifftops.

The new Cliff Top walk to Wentworth Falls was excellent.
The new Cliff Top walk to Wentworth Falls was excellent. Just right level for me. It would be good if the shuttle buses went to Gordon Falls and Leura as I had to walk back along the roads a lot. Also access to the walk at Scenic World was closed, which was annoying as the walk is advertised to start there. It was Easter Sunday and very busy but this should have been made clear perhaps with signs at Katoomba Falls where the walk actually started from. I ate at 8 Things, great value and the RSL which was not so great. The Pool of Siloam is one of the best things in the mountains I discovered this weekend.

The town is lovely, great places to eat and drink, lots of attractions and view points, short drives to many other places. I really enjoyed it. One thing i would mention, as we were caught out with this, the whole town stops serving food at 8pm, so you do have to choose between watching the sunset and eating.

Too much wrong. Not even close to enough right.
Too much wrong. Not even close to enough right. Broken toilets, fans, lights, terrible seating, lack of outdoor furniture, cleanliness was atrocious, kitchen was filthy, bathrooms were filthy, parking was horrendous. No outdoor seating. Lack of care really by the responses of issues and never got the same person twice when contacting. Garden and outside area unkept, debris, boards with nails, garbage about. All and all....stay away!

Katoomba is a beautiful town with the obvious features of the Three Sisters but if you go for a day trip west towards Lithgow etc you can find quiet waterfalls and swimming holes all to yourself and more stunning views!
The location is excellent. When in the house it seems like you are really isolated but you're actually quite close to Katoomba. The view is sensational & the large deck in good weather made the view central to our stay. The 3 friends I stayed with regarded the bath to be the best bath they had ever had in their lives. Not being a bath person I really rated the rain shower in the laundry. The house was clean & has everything you need. I would not hesitate to recommend it or to stay there again.
I liked the cleanliness and comfiness of the room at the Metropolis Hotel. I was moved here from Echo Point Motel due to maintenance issue and was kindly advised by the staff on the day. Check in and out was seamless. The Metropolis gives off vintage vibes. The facilities are great. The Metropolis location is also in the Katoomba CBD making it easy and convenient to get food & explore during any weather (raining during my stay).
The hotel is in a good location close to the town center and shops and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable and had a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. We booked the breakfast and it was good value at A$15 each. It is a buffet breakfast so you can have what you want and there was a good selection of hot and cold items. We enjoyed our stay here.
We love our stay in this old world guest house. As we use public transport, it's so close to the Katoomba Rail Station. Perfect. Also close to other wonderful attractions.
We were so lucky to snag the unusual Snow Fall..spectacular.
The hotel follows Covid-19 safety standards to the letter.
We included the full breakfast, we'll worth it.
We'll be back for sure.
Old fashioned style hotel with a large communal area with fireplace, and vintage decor. Room was warm, comfy and clean and reception was friendly and helpful. Close proximity to Katoomba RSL for dining, and a chocolate cafe just up the road. Simple contintental breakfast served onsite to get started for the day. No frills but great for a short 1 night stay.
This is lovely old hotel set in a perfect position. It had a very homely feel with large lounge areas, virtually empty for our stay.
Delicious food at the restaurant and excellent cocktails! The staff were lovely and upgraded our room without us asking.
There would have been views but not on our visit! 5 minutes walk from the shopping area at katoomba.
lLove this Hotel so handy to Katoomba with it’s rare ‘period’ feel. Takes me back to my days at the Australia & the Metropole in Sydney. A walk down memory lane when times were more relaxed & sedate. The front garden is a great spot in the evenings in summer as are the old style cosy indoors in winter.
Hotel staff are nothing short of amazing. Friendly, helpfull, respectful, and they treat their guests like family, and they do it naturly not because they are following a protocol. I loved the hotel because of the people running it.
Was a basic clean room. Bed and pillows were decent and the staff were excellent. The location is great, only a short distance from central Katoomba, hotel has plenty of parking, and the pool is clean and well maintained.
The staff at the Katoomba Hotel were well above standard. They went out of their way to help us - genuine, caring customer service is a rare thing these days.
This is a grand guest house/hotel which feels recently renovated. Our room was large and comfortable. It's perfectly located just beyond Katoomba's main drag.
You can't beat the location as it was a 3 min drive to the centre of Katoomba. The room was very quiet and the shower was hot with great water pressure.
