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!
Everything! Ross was so helpful - pointing out good
trails, giving local tips, and even taking some of us to see the sunset. Not to mention all the cool ppl at this hostel and the nice campfire socials! We ended up going on a hike together as well. My favorite hostel experience in AU. I was debating this and YHA for the Blue mountains - I would definitely return to this place. Stayed for a few nights (I think 4?) and regretted not staying longer. The hostel is close to the Katoomba train station and grocery marts.
really close to everything such as opposite train station, 12 min walk to car hire, Katoomba main Street literally around the corner, half four walk to Three sisters and Scenic World (or 10 min by bus)!
The room is compact but has everything you need.
The hotel is beautiful and was quiet for the two nights we stayed.
there was a ceiling fan (very effective), Air conditioning and heater so your well covered for all weather. free parking and excellent wifi
Great motel super close to Echo Point in Blue Mountains. We could walk easily to see the Three Sisters and to various trails. We could walk or take the public bus into the Katoomba town center to visit restaurants and cafes. WiFi was strong. Bathroom was nice and bright. Bed was super comfortable - I got great sleep here. Could pop over to the Lookout for food and drinks if we didn’t want to go into town.
Comfortable and charming hotel in Katoomba. Great location near Echo Point. They kindly accommodated our request for ground floor rooms for my elderly parents and ourselves. Enjoyed the food and service at Lounge restaurant. Usually ample parking available for guests, both at open lots and underground garage (although both were full on Good Friday).
The room had a great view and the hotel was in a comfortable walking distance to the Katoomba town centre. The parking area seemed quite secure. We loved the live piano music each evening and at breakfast on Sunday morning. We loved the food at breakfast and at dinner. The waiter (maitre d'?), called Scott was very accommodating and friendly.
Clean room with the kinds of amenities you'd expect for a motor inn. Check in was quick and easy, and there's parking right outside the room. The location is pretty good as it's only a short drive to the center of Katoomba and all the common natural attractions people come here for.
Everything concerning the Carrington was top notch and far exceeded my expectations. The hotel staff and especially the front desk went out of the way to assist and know you by name. Staying here was the highlight of my 3 weeks stay in Australia.
Carrington Hotel was beautiful. Old worldly music as you entered the property. The history behind the building was amazing and the Hotel had an old worldly charm. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Everything. The staff were great, the rooms better than in several 5 star hotels I've stayed in. If you're going to Katoomba, stay here - as I will again in a few months time when the weather is better.
it’s distance to the Echo Point Lookout and to Katoomba town centre is convenient
It has some modern facilities like lightings and allowed 3 of us to stay in the same room with a bed to ourselves
Wonderful period hotel with modern facilities. Large clean room and bathroom. Easy walk to town and Katoomba falls etc and train station. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.
Perfect central downtown Katoomba location. Hotel is very dated, but still clean enough. We had a view of the car park. But just fine to use as a base where we could explore the mountains.
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!
Breakfast was not possible in hotel because diningroom in renovation. The receptionist was very friendly and advise us a good italian restaurant in Katoomba.
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.
