    There was nothing that I didn’t like.

    Location. Cleanliness. The staff at the counter (Alicia and a dark haired young man) were exceptional. Breakfast was brilliant. I dined both evenings at the Brassiere. Excellent.

    The rooms were spacious and comfortable but a little too warm to sleep well. The ensuite bathroom had lovely floor and wall tiles and was overall clean, however the shower area really needs a good scrub! It looked a felt dirty. It seemed a shame not to keep such lovely tiles looking their best.

    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.

    Bathroom needed a deep clean but was fine. Room heating was a bit too warm for us overnight. Overall these were not showstoppers and we enjoyed the stay.

    Historic building and charm was a highlight. Location is excellent. Breakfast included was nice so that we could experience the ballroom

    A fabulous hotel that needs to be experienced at least once. It's like stepping back in time, with beautiful features in every corner of the hotel. From the comfy lounge area with its beautiful fire, to the bar and dining room everything was amazing. The piano player during dinner set the scene perfectly and the food was great too. Thank you to everyone at the Carrington for a wonderful stay.

    Historic iconic building with period features for a "Miss Fisher" experience in Katoomba

    Our shower was over a spa bath so we didn't use it (older couple) I should have checked on booking. Room was very hot and I couldn't get my Android phone to read QR code to get guest information to adjust heating but partner could. Suggest hotel supply paper copy of basic information in rooms for older generation guests.

    Building is very historic and decor is typical of late Victorian to early 1930's period. We had dinner and breakfast in the Grand Dining Room and loved every minute. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Using the 1904 era lift was an adventure and creaky floors added to the whole effect.

    Overall, a great stay in high quality accommodation with a number of period features.

    The only minor issue was the lift can be a bit temperamental (it is an old style lift with one door that needs to be manually opened and closed which can be difficult to get a handle on at first). This wasn't a significant issue for our group as we were all on the first floor, but guests on higher floors may find it a bit more troublesome to deal with.

    The building was a period building with a number of modern features (for example the bathrooms in the rooms were very modern). The rooms were spacious, well heated and had good quality amenities (such as ample plugs, a kettle and fridge in the wardrobe). The included breakfast was more than sufficient with hot and cold options, and the staff were nice enough to reserve a table for our group of nine without us having to request it.

    2 Day Grand Cliff Walk

    For the time we actually spent here, we enjoyed every minute staying at this hotel for our 2-day Grand Cliff Top Walk adventure, and we're already planning our next visit! Although Day 1 starts at Wentworth Falls, the hotel's close proximity to the train station made easy to get around. After a day of trekking, we couldn't wait to kick back at the hotel, but not before grabbing well-deserved schooners at the Old Bank Pub. Warm welcome at reception. Love the hertigage and creeky floors. Spacious room, the hot tub was a lifesaver for our tired muscles. Later that night, we indulged in a meal paired with local wine at the brasserie and then enjoyed the live music at the bar. Early night to begin Day 2 fresh. Hopped on the train Leura to finish at Scenic World. Memorable birthday getaway – we couldn't fault a single thing. Everything fell into place. Can't wait to do it all over again.
