Best Hotels near Echo Point to Scenic World via Giant Stairway, Katoomba

We enjoyed our three-night stay at Leura Gardens. The accommodation is surrounded by lovely gardens which you can wander around. It is located amongst a quiet residential area which has some beautiful and fancy houses. Our room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. It included a microwave, mini-fridge, kettle, TV and a balcony. There is plenty of parking. The continental breakfast was great and well set-up - it included a variety of cereals, toasts, yoghurt, juices, muffins and a pancake machine. The breakfast room has big windows with a lovely view of the gardens and golf course opposite. The accommodation is only a few minutes drive to Leura Mall which has many cafes and boutique shops, as well as a Woolworths supermarket. A few minutes more and you get to Katoomba which has a larger range of cafes, restaurants and shops, including antique shops. There are many beautiful walks and lookouts in Leura, Katoomba and surrounding areas. We had a lovely few days in Leura and would stay at Leura Gardens again.

A large resort hotel in the hinterland. The facilities are complete. In particular, the price of the large indoor real ice rink is very affordable and there are not many people. and indoor heated pool. are all worth recommending Very suitable for self-driving

Jamie provided us with the best greeting we have ever had at check-in. He was warm and friendly on arrival and asked us did we know the area and were we looking for anything in particular. He then took the time to highlight the specific locations on a map that would be ideal for our photographic adventure. We arrived in the early evening and Jamie had the heater on in our room and the lights on for us and this was greatly appreciated on a cold Katoomba evening. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable, The large bathroom was recently renovated with plenty of hot water in the shower. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and fully intend to do so in the future.

Renovated interior with a chic look, however the toilet was pretty dark. Could do with better lightings.

I did not feel cold. The location was very convenient. The person of the hotel responded politely. There was no problem with cleaning the room itself.

Very good, the environment is really good and the rooms are also very good. However, on the way to two train stations from Katoomba, the Blue Mountain Line trains are not frequent, so if there is no train, look at the timetable. There is not much to eat around, so supper and breakfast should be prepared in advance or think of a good way. There are also several breakfast brunch shops in the town of Blackheath. Overall perfect score

Unfortunately we started off on a bad foot when we had to wait in excess of an hour past our book in time for our room to be ready, then when we did finally get in, the TV remote wouldn't work and to turn it on manually meant it was stuck on one channel with no volume. Went back to reception and swapped batteries which didn't help, then we're told that thier maintenance people wouldn't be back until Monday so nothing they could do. To thier credit they did extend our check out time by an hour and provided breakfast at thier sister property in Katoomba. The property is in need of some TLC and to call them luxury apartments is a bit of a stretch, but they are in good condition overall. To access the studio lofts are up a rather tall flight of stairs that doesn't have a hand rail all the way, and the step treads are rather small (only just over half the length of my foot) which will make it very difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The room does have a kitchenette, but the only thing to cook with is a microwave, no hot plate or frypan included, so bring plastic wrap, paper towel etc with you, aswell as cutlery as there was only 1 knife, 3 forks and heaps of spoons. Room had a nice gas log fire place though we needed the a/con to help heat the room. Also a super sized 2 person spa that's so deep that if your not particularly tall you'll struggle to get in and out of. The shower is over the spa and with the weird uneven base, it makes it difficult to stand in to shower, aswell as a lack of grab rails anywhere.

Brilliant for family friends getting together, the Staff are very friendly and exceptionally helpful front of house & back of house, Breakfast was fabulous, the chef was fantastic if you wanted fried eggs or extra hash browns it was no trouble. The rooms warm & cosy very clean, the lounge areas were spacious & warm with electric fireplaces great for board games, chilling out or afternoon nibbles & drinks . Would highly recommend The Metropole it's easy walking distance to cafes & bars and takes you back in time with old charm decor beautifully kept .We will be back and spreading the word

It is said that it is a mountain view room, but it does not face the direction of the Blue Mountains. You have to stand in the bathtub when you take a bath. The bathtub is very small and it is very uncomfortable to take a bath. The breakfast price written in the Ctrip order is very different from the actual price.
