    We had an amazing stay! The beds were comfortable, and the toilet was clean. The location of the motel is just a few minutes away from the Three Sisters Lookout via foot. Would highly recommend those who would love to stay within walking distance with Echo Point lookout at Katoomba, Blue Mountains.

    That I couldn’t stay longer :-)

    Probably one of the greatest motels I’ve ever stayed whilst in the Katoomba area. Friendly, professional and very welcoming staff, gorgeous healthy budget friendly breakfast, comfortable bed and clean room and beautiful outdoor grass area that overlooks the magnificent blue mountains. Definitely recommend and 100% will return.

    Upon check-in administration person seemed inconvenienced by our arrival. Could improve having a toaster, freezer, shower drain loose and toilet didn't flush very well.

    Very short walk from world-class sight-seeing: Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls. Very short driving distance and must see: Wentworth Falls and Valley of Waters Track (7 waterfalls on one trail). Best value in terms of price. Excellent room size, beds, and bathroom vanity. Bonus housekeeping clean everyday by professional housekeepers that do an amazing job.

    Great size room only downside is lack of kitchenette sink if that's important for you. Kettle will fit under bathroom sink on an angle. For the room price, view and only a night or two. Not really an issue.

    Room 101 closest to the gazebo in the photo. Great view from the windows. Staring straight down the street to the valley views. Heating on in the room before arrival was appreciated. One of the quietest mini fridges I've experienced. Comfy bed.

    Our booking confirmation told us it was an inside room up stairs . When we arrived outside motel hours our room allocated was outside on ground level .. but no heads up by staff other than room number . we went all the way up stairs at 7:30 at night with multiple bags .. before realising we were on GLevel . I received no apology off staff when I told them of this in morning . The breakfast was below average . Noisy at night .

    Property is very old and musty and in need of refurbishing. Not really worth $150 a night. You get better value at the YHA for a private room which is cheaper. Hot water took a while to kick in.

    Close to Three Sisters and centre of Katoomba. Comfy and clean. Buffet breakfast cost extra but was very good. Aircon, heating and TV all in working order.

    The motel felt a bit run down, small things could quickly improve the rooms like painting the chipped and dirty door. The bathroom was generally clean however I made the mistake of looking up and the exhaust fan was so thick with filth and dust I wish I hadn't seen it. It also would have been good if the TV in the room offered some streaming service such as Netflix. The main bed was sunken on one side of the mattress.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a great view of Echo point from our room and were only a short walk to the lookout. The bedding and towels were all clean and fresh.
