We liked the historic features of the building and the public spaces available to relax in. There was also a lot of historic photos, items and information about the hotel’s past.
The location was very convenient to local shops, restaurants and attractions.

The photos on booking.com do not do this place justice. It is a beautiful building; gorgeous. And the interiors are lovely too: furniture, windows, woodwork. The staff were welcoming and helpful, indeed, outstandingly so. Our room was comfortable, as was our bed. The buffet breakfast was very nice and presented in a beautiful room.
Set amidst 2 acres of gardens, the 5-star Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa is a grand country house providing luxurious accommodation in the Blue Mountains.

Some people would not like sharing bathroom.
I don't mind at all.
Hence I haven't given a full 10 despite the arrangement being quite comfortable.
It's quite a classic little hotel now spending most of its life as a health retreat.
The big massage chair looked very tempting (and woukd have been irresistible to the trail runners doing their 50 and 100 km slogs over the mountain trails on the Saturday.
I had to get away to the nephew's wedding, however.
Situated within an Art Deco heritage-listed building, YHA Blue Mountains Katoomba offers a range of rooms, a BBQ area, a games room and an impressive former ballroom with a cosy fireplace.

In the heart of the Blue Mountains with lots of eating options. Lots of great walks nearby. The 3 sisters are within walking distance so you can avoid the parking charges recently implemented in the area.

Katoomba main street is still struggling after covid with quite a few empty shop fronts however mother nature and her spectacular views make up for this. Scenic World as the main draw is always worth the trip and Nocturnal event is a new way to experience the Valley. Of course Echo Point and 3 sisters are a must as is Govetts Leap lookout. So many pretty towns around like Leura and if you have time take a little side teip to Lithgow. Highly recommend this trip. Parking is an issue around the town centre and usual tourist attractions but worth dealing with anyway.

Direct train from Sydney.
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.
Excellent Location, ease of access to the main town of Katoomba and ECHO POINT, the tree sisters viewing vista
You could not ask for a better location in regards to the main tourist attraction and experience in the Blue Mountains
The Showers were the Best and Tv had some Smart features included, all the 21st century touches you want. stayed with family, room Has a fridge Tea coffee and glasses for our champagne drink *(staying for a birthday celebration with family from overseas in Ireland
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.
Lovely old world charm eminates from this hotel. Overstuffed armchairs, window seats, hushed hallways but still its bright and light and comfortable. Great artwork throughout.
Our room had everything we needed. Our bed was luxuriously comfy and the updated bathroom a surprise.
Our overnight stay included a great breakfast: Continental and Hot English, tea, coffee and juice.
The Katoomba RSL is literally just metres away with lovely meals and inexpensive drinks.
Enjoy!
Staying at this hotel is like being wrapped in a cozy blanket of luxury, with views that could make even the most seasoned traveler pinch themselves just to check if it's real. The scenery outside the window is so stunning, it's like Mother Nature hired a personal decorator. And let's talk about the rooms - they're so lovely, I half expected them to tuck me in at night and read me a bedtime story. It's like sleeping in a cloud made of marshmallows and dreams.
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 have stayed here several times and love the place.
It is very central in Katoomba and our room was spacious and well set up with a small kitchen ,iron etc.
This hotel is old and not greatly renovated but has lots of character. The bathroom is tired and needs renovation. This hotel is not for everyone but it is reasonably priced and meets our needs.
Great staff.
This hotel is a spectacular facility in the heart of Katoomba with easy and quick access to tourist attractions.
The hotel itself looks like a beautiful antique museum in which you can take heaps of fabulous photos...
Overall, that was an awesome experience and I definitely recommend this hotel.
We really enjoyed the property….so close to light hiking and downtown. Plenty of hikes to enjoy. The breakfast room was just right for us and Daniel was wonderful……fun and full of information and recommendations. He is definitely a plus for the hotel. Thanks so much to him!!❤️
This place is hidden treasure .. lovely old heritage hotel with a very cosy character at a very affordable price .I loved the decor of this place with amazing paper walls and old sofas and tables .It is very lovely place with the breakfast and friendly staff .
The view from the room was superb, unblocked views of the mountains from both inside the room and out on the balcony! Also a bonus to have access to its sister hotel Lilianfels facilities and amenities, loved the heated indoor pool :)
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.
Nice refurbished rooms. Good feel to the hotel and pub downstairs. Not too noisy (could hear music through floor but barely). Staff super friendly. Good location for walking into Katoomba (3 sisters about 45mins walk away).
The room was big and the bed was really nice
and comfortable. The vintage design of the hotel and room gave it a cosy feel. We’ll choose to stay there again if we return to Katoomba.
The location is close to Katoomba Train Station only 5 min walk, many restaurants nearby and Coles. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable. The staffs are nice and helpful.
A peaceful hotel on a quiet side street. The location is extremely convenient for exploring Katoomba and the Blue Mountains. I particularly loved the massage chair in my room!
Lovely 1900s style hotel with exceptional views of the valley beyond. Friendly, helpful staff. Central location to both Katoomba and Leura. Great breakfast!
