The new owners are very nice, love the details of the place. Only thing was our room was a bit cold, 30 degrees with all blankets I was still cold. Informed the reception/owner, they said will check it. But again, breakfast was very nice, nice and simple, beds are comfortable, the area is b Quiet, RSL across the road for great food. It’s a little gem, we have stayed in blue mountains many times a year to visit family, I’m glad we found this little cozy motel. And will definitely come back again.

Very warm welcome from the hotel staff, however I guess it is cold Hotel Blue as I turned a little blue from the cold. It was freezing cold in the public areas with not heating available and we were told that there was a problem with the chimney so the log fires could not be used. As the main reason we choice the Hotel was because of the welcoming log fire, we will not be staying there again during winter.

Nice historical building. Common areas, like the living area and the restaurant look very nice and feel cozy. Bedrooms are large but are in need of an uplift, or at least a paint job. Beds are comfy, TV works well, bathroom had a good size, with good water temp and pressure. Aircon did work well as too. Location is perfect, halfway between Echo point and the Katoomba city centre, so you can walk to both areas. Lots of parking available at (and around) the property. Good breakfast - various types of bread, coffee, cereals, fruits, etc. Staff were super friendly. Wi-fi did work, but would struggle a bit when there were many devices connected. Overall I would stay there again, good price for what it offers.

I had booked a 2 rooms but got an upgrade to stay at Annie's cottage as we were 2 families. The cottage was beautifully maintained. The house was clean and comfortable with parking at the back. Very close to Katoomba station and town centre. We loved our stay there.

Free breakfast was cereals and toast. It was nice that it was very quiet and homey, despite the walls being as thin as paper. Best part was the location - very accessible to a lot of dining areas and the sites.
