A beautiful old world hotel of wood and leadlight. Cosy common rooms with fireplaces. Very quiet. Very large queen room with double bed was very spacious with all the facilities we needed. Bathroom was huge and included a large modern bathtub. Everything was very clean. Staff was very helpful sorting out the error in our booking. Location was perfect right near train station and town centre. Hot buffet breakfast was excellent value and had a suitable range of choices with some made to order . What a fantastic experience making our stay in Katoomba a very memorable and enjoyable one.

Our bed was a little uncomfortable creaking whenever we moved. Minor inconvenience.

2 rooms when travelling as a family. Beds were comfortable and felt luxurious. Location close to restaurants Access to carpark close to echo point. Staff were friendly and helpful. Tastefully renovated Anne charming.

- Beds were conformable but the ultrasoft topper felt like i was falling off the edge of the bed. - Also, travelling as a family, a twin room configuration works have been better in one if the rooms. - Microwave wasn't in the room as stated. - only 1 A/C remote fit 2 units. - changing reception hours was inconvenient when something needed sorting out. - no hanging space - no extra blankets

The room was clean and well stocked with some single serve teas and coffee with an electric kettle and a small fridge with milk, however the star of the stay was the receptionist who was exceptional, very kind, and accommodating. She made our experience at The Metropole even more worth it than it already was. The Metropole also has a games room with a pool table and a small library, both very beautiful rooms that are well kept and were lovely to spend time in. There was also a charming area in the middle where we were able to sit and enjoy meals other than the lovely dining area. Overall, very much worth it!

The ambiance of the place is great. The room is clean and has enough space for 4 people. It was quiet and comfortable. I like that the photos and memorabilia of the previous owners are still hanging on the wall. Being a reader myself, I also like the little Jessie's corner and the library with the fireplace. It feels like you were taken back in the 70's or 80's where they were still having fun and parties in the house. They managed to maintain the house and able to accomodate guests in their rooms.

The way to the parking was stiff and the place was a bit hard to look for when you were driving. I did not notice it at first because of all the cars parked outside. I had to do a U-turn to get back to it.

The room was well decorated, large, and comfortable. The staff at reception desk was very friendly. Don't be put off by the shabby exterior and torn Australia flag, the inside is very different and was great.

The breakfast was not great. Possibly the worst coffee I have had in Australia. The food could do with improvement for the price. The eggs seemed fried but came out in a bath of water. The food was slow coming out. With a room that was quite busy the six eggs that came out went very fast. Maybe we had a busy time but the staff didn't seem able to get the food out quick enough. The price was decent in comparison to other local hotels, but on a worldwide scale was very expensive for what was offered.

Our queen room was well appointed, with a desk, bar fridge, tea & coffee, and a reasonable sized ensuite. The bed was very comfy. The shared lounge/library, pool table & chess table were gorgeous. It is a shame we did not have time to make use of these. The breakfast has plentiful. The hotel is close to the shops, bars and restaurants in Katoomba and only a short drive or bus trip to Echo Point.

The water in the shower was not very hot, more lukewarm. Also the coffee at breakfast was drip filter coffee, so as we're coffee snobs we headed to a coffee shop nearby for our post brekkie coffee. Not really an issue, but a pod machine would have been better.

Beautifully restored old hotel. We stayed 3 nights in a newly renovated room with a comfy bed and quiet air-conditioning. Our stay included a hot breakfast buffet, which was excellent. The lady in the breakfast room was very nice and super efficient, she did an amazing job and the work of three staff while still being friendly and helpful.

The still ongoing renovations in the hotel and the very strong paint smell in the hallway and especially in our room were not very pleasant and gave me a headache. Having a free car park was great. However, it was a very steep driveway and sometimes very tight for a big car.

I stayed at this hotel in Katoomba, NSW, during a midweek visit to explore the Blue Mountains, and I had a great experience. The hotel was clean, quiet, and exactly as shown in the photos on the booking website, which I really appreciated. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the stay even more pleasant. Parking was easy and convenient, which was a big plus for me. Overall, it was the perfect base for hiking and exploring the area without being too far from restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the Blue Mountains!

Ceiling Fan was noisy and curtains were slightly shorter than window, if I didn't wake before sunrise it could have been a minor issue.

Our room was absolutely lovely and the bathroom was the nicest bathroom I have ever used! I have been told that our room was very recently renovated so basically brand new. The staff were very helpful and happy. Val who was serving in the dining room was very helpful to me as I am a coeliac and require gluten free food. She gave me freshly cooked bacon and eggs especially for me and offered to cook me gluten free bread in a seperate gluten free toaster. She was also very kind to my young daughter. The games room and library were lovely and we enjoyed a game of chess on the antique chess table. The antique furnishings in a 1930s style were truly lovely.

The staff were really friendly and helpful, and we were even able to check in a few hours early unexpectedly which was amazing. The room we were in was really comfortable and very clean. We didn't have breakfast there so can't comment on that but we were very happy with our stay here. The guesthouse is very convenient and is located just opposite the main train station and very close to restaurants and bus stops for exploring. Highly recommend!

The only thing we didn't love was that our room faced into the inside of the building, so although we had some natural light it was quite dark and didn't feel that private to have the curtains open. However, we didn't really spend that much time in the room was primarily just to sleep as we were out exploring most of the day so this didn't really bother us that much!
