Just loved stepping back in time at this heritage property. We stayed 4 nights in a premier room, bed was very comfy, the room well appointed and clean. Appreciated the breakfast inclusion. It was mid-winter chilly, but the hotel was very toasty. Secure parking was easy and the staff mostly helpful. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

It was a lovely place to stay, thinking about all the history.

Had a meal in the restaurant with my wife,it was a two course meal for $75 each and we were very disappointed We both had very small portions with no vegetables only a small leaf of something and we both felt like more food. Don't mind the cost,but should have at least felt full. My advice , don't eat there.

I love this herritage hotel, there is so many rooms to sit & unwind with a drink after a busy day.

Amazing hotel. A step back in time. So lovely to see it restored. Rooms were lovely. True mountain experience

The good. This is a charming old hotel with creaky floors. There are many pleasant original features. The included buffet style breakfast was quite good. The bad. The hotel badly needs to be updated to meet modern standards. The mattresses on the beds in the room (a queen and single) were so soft, they were uncomfortable and I ended up with back pain. Then single bed sloped to one side. I've stayed in many properties in Australia and the USA in the last 12 months, and these were the least comfortable beds of all. I guess they would be ok for someone who liked a really soft bed. I had to run the hot water for over 4 minutes to get any warm water in the afternoon or evening. It was a little quicker in the morning (maybe they turned the boiler on), but the temperature varied during a shower. consequently a poor eco rating, because of such a waste of water. There were no usable power points near either bed, as they were taken up with lamps, with a lead running under the queen bed to the single bed lamp. There were no tissues in the room so we got some at the front desk. I paid for a room with mountain views. The east facing room had some views of the hills over a large flat roof, but no view of the famous Blue Mountains. The dated small flat screen television worked, but the remote control would not operate further than a metre away (possibly in need of new batteries). A few small updates, power points, comfortable beds, improved hot water would make such a difference

Beautiful heritage motel in centre of town, extremely cosy for a relaxing stay

A beautiful hotel with all the character features. Particular details have been prioritized to the public/common areas. We stayed 3 nights midweek in a standard room with ensuite. Large and comfortable room. Squeaky floors, a thin adjoining room door, rattling windows in the wind and (our room being) close to the train line, meant for a disrupted sleep. We managed of course, but maybe somethings to take into consideration. Our stay included (continental) breakfast, though probably best to get to breakfast before 8:30am (ends at 10am) as the staff do not replenish the food on offer and maybe understaffed, to clear tables. We enjoyed dinner (2 courses) which was delicious and plentiful, with accompanying pianist was divine. Staff attentive, and most seemed to be in training. Devonshire tea was lovely, and popular. The scones were perfect! Waiting 25 minutes for the pot of tea (including a follow up) was unexpected. We noticed we weren't the only ones waiting on the tea (and following it up). Bar staff were short staffed, in our opinion, as drinks were ordered and slow to be served, even while standing at the bar. We did order coffees and other hot (nonalcoholic) drinks but they were not hot by the time they arrived. Maybe the barista was not available or again they were short staffed. Onsite liquor shop was a great find! Overall, we've wanted to stay in this beautiful hotel for many years, and finally when we were able to, we were glad we did. It will be a once off.

We stayed at this property as it had been one on our list of properties. Was somewhat dissatisfied with the room. Did not look clean, bathroom door squeaked every time it was opened. The AC was noisy.

Convenient location, located across the street from the train station. The sightseeing bus stop was right in front of the hotel. The unique historical features of the property were well-preserved and maintained. The room could benefit from a refresh, but it was still clean and in good working order. Great views from the room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great place to stay overall.

Beautiful historic hotel. Staff were very helpful and professional. Bus service to major attractions right out the front. On the Main Street with lots of eating options.
