Verified traveller

Nice hotel, friendly staff. Clean room with big double bed and good sized ensuite. I stayed here for 12 nights. My only reservation would be the road noise which made it difficult to sleep most nights.

3/5 - Okay

5/5 - Excellent

The Blue Mountains at Katoomba was an excellent trip with a two hour train journey from Central Station, and of course travelling in all the ferrys
