The building has character. The interior is very clean. The room had a massage chair. Very comfortable with a doona, pillow and towels. Hand sink in room. Lots of light. Kettle. And a vertical fan/heater.
The location is convenient and quiet and nestled on a back street.

I loved the massage chair in the room and the bath oils.
Unfortunantly we had a power out which meant our heater stopped working over night. Also lost power to fridge, chargers, kettle and massage chair.
It was very cold but the doona was still cosy enough to be comfortable.

This is a retreat hotel for treating people with cancer. I didn’t know that until after I arrived. I didn’t see anyone who was unwell. We I researched the property I realised it’s history.
I thought wow, a massage chair in my room, cool European shower with jets etc, a gym and a chapel where I could light incense and candles. Filtered water is available, a fireplace in the eating area and very clean bedding.
Whilst the room was small with no wardrobe, I only had an overnight bag and could cope. With a kettle, and a large basin in the room I could make endless cups of tea.
It was secure with a lockable front door and coded room key. Cameras were in the corridors.
The only draw back is no lift to get up the stairs.
It’s on a quiet back street and 10 minutes walk from Woolworths. The staff were helpful and when I arrived the fan heater was on and my room was warm.
And, you get to check out at 11am. Ticks so many boxes.

Thank you

I was the only guest at the property. After check-in I didn't see anyone, including staff. The center was advertised as having a restaurant but it had clearly not been staffed for a long time. The center was also advertised as being disabled accessible but there are no rooms without stairs.

If you are into health, nutrition and time to remove yourself from the busy life, I would recommend staying here. Very close to shops, cafes and restaurants.

The accommodation I stayed at was by far the worst I have ever experienced. The hot water supply ran out around 8 o'clock, and when I went to the reception for assistance, there was no one available. The heating in the room was completely inadequate for the harsh winter conditions of the Blue Mountains. On top of that, the strong winds outside made matters worse. The entire building appeared rundown and lacked proper noise insulation. I struggled to sleep due to the wind seeping through the window gap. I have serious doubts about the hotel's compliance with legal requirements in numerous aspects. Shockingly, there were no emergency doors or instructions provided. Additionally, it seemed that no staff members actually stayed at the hotel, which raised concerns about its legitimacy. Overall, the entire experience was extremely unreliable and questionable.

Stayed for one night for UTA.
Service was great and the condition is decent. Just watch out that the toilets and showers are outside the rooms and shared.
4.0
The location was good and staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s just that the website for the hotel when we were trying to find their contact details was very confusing as it mentioned Hearty Center Cancer Retreat Facility.

Lovely stay, very clean and at a quiet side street. Very friendly staff. I was surprised with an upgrade. The massage chair is a nice treat after long days of hiking.

This property was fantastic, we had stayed at another hotel for few nights, which was not a good experience, but this hotel made up for it, hands down, will definitely be back.

Room was good value for money and was exactly what I needed. I wasn't looking to hang out in the room (although it did have its own very good electric massage chair). Shared bathroom. Very clean.The person on reception was very helpful after I left my phone on the train, and he assisted me in getting it back. It is more of a health centre than a hotel or motel.

Service was great, unfortunately room had water pipe outside making noise sounding like someone showering all night. Woke up four times.

Superbly peaceful place to stay. Lovely staff, comfortable bed and great facilities. Sadly the restaurant was closed so I couldn’t sample, but the menu looks fantastic and the room itself is great.

Centrally located, lack of parking on site

Really nice staff, but the "private bathroom" listed on the add is actually a shared bathroom. Also, there is no TV in the room, so if you plan on staying a while you might need to consider a laptop for entertainment.

This was not what was expected for a getaway..No TV, NO fridge, Rock hard bed, Poor breakfast choice, freshly painted so our eyes were stinging.
Totally minimalistic
The staff were friendly and it seems that they have only recently taken over the facility, but there is a way to go if they want regular customers.
It is more like a backpackers!
Pity that it spoiled what was to be a "weekend away"

5.0
I have stayed in Katoomba a few times before, tho never heard about this place. Once it showed on Expedia, Ive planned another hiking overnight trip as I wanted to try this place. Yes, the massage chair is in the room and free of charge. Nice new place, clean, bed comfy, shared bathroom was not busy. I would definitely stay again!
3.0
I was let down by the bathroom, toilet was not cleaned properly urine all over the rim of bowl. Also the photos of the rooms appear be bigger than they are. No tv,kettle or glasses for drinking water.
