Ursula, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms were comfortable. However the shower head dripped, and the when we turned on the spa jets, bits of things came out. So we couldn’t use it and had to shower instead.

Good location for echo point
Daniel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, walking distance to Echo point. Family room was good size (1 queen, 2 singles) and included a table with 4 chairs. Decor is quite dated and could do with a spruce up, but many Katoomba hotels are similar. Bathroom clean and good shower. Fridge needed a defrost and clean.
