A Unique Experience in a Historic Gem
The historic building and elegant interior left a strong impression. The staff were incredibly kind, and the complimentary breakfast was delightful. While there were a few inconveniences due to the building’s age, the unique experience it offered made it all worthwhile. I was very pleased with my stay.

Great stay at the Currington Hotel
We enjoyed our stay at the Carrington - beautiful and spotlessly cleaned room and bathroom, very comfortable bed, complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner at the hotel restaurant - delicious food and fantastic service. Thank you.

Lovely old world charm in the Blue Mountains.
Always like to begin with the positives. Decent size rooms with high ceilings and clean throughout. Location is an easy 5 minute walk from the railway station and the local bus stops in front of the hotel. The lounge and bar areas ooze charm and a continental breakfast is included.
Many rooms are not air-conditioned and the window opens about 200mm. No ceiling fans so some people will be challenged with the summer heat.Some of the staff would rather be elsewhere and it shows. We thought some local newspapers would be a nice touch in the foyer and maybe include specialty coffee's with breakfast.

It was lovely to finally have a stay in this beautiful heritage hotel.
The rooms were modest in size. Very little room for suitcases.
A hand rail for the shower over the spa bath would be helpful for limited mobility. The surface of the spa bath was a bit stained.
There was no airconditioning which may be an issue in summer. No instructions for the wall mounted heater.
The electric sockets for charging our phones were behind the bedside table near the floor which was difficult to access with reduced mobility. Had to disconnect the lamps to charge the phones.
Consequently discovered that the wiring on the lamps had deteriorated, and the safety inspection for them was well out of date. The lamps were replaced the next day.

The hotel is wonderful with good service by all staff members. The location is excellent as it is walking distance to all the shops.
The breakfast and entrees were lovely but the mains were disappointing. The duck was tough with inedible tough stringy greens. We found to our dismay a number of small bones in the brisket. We certainly would love to re-visit but not to dine.

Just loved stepping back in time at this heritage property. We stayed 4 nights in a premier room, bed was very comfy, the room well appointed and clean. Appreciated the breakfast inclusion. It was mid-winter chilly, but the hotel was very toasty. Secure parking was easy and the staff mostly helpful. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
