The room was extremely comfortable

Food was terrible, received it late & was extremely cold.

I would stay again in future, I had a lovely time with my family. We enjoyed the beautiful fireplaces in the lounge area

8.0

The hotel and grounds are beautiful, well maintained and very clean. The reception staff were very helpful and welcoming. It was warm and clean.

There was nothing about the property that I didn’t like. I would just say the staff were lovely but the service was a little slow due to what seemed to be understaffed?. There was also some miscommunication in the spa area but this did not spoil our stay.

観光地へのアクセスの良さ、ホテルとしての完成度の高さ

特にないですが、立地が抜群なので、値段は高くなります

3.0

For the price very disappointing. No smart tv, no chromecast. Coffee machine had no milk frother, poor lighting, especially around full length mirror.

A great location at Echo Point in Katoomba. An enjoyable anniversary getaway.

8.0

Location of Lilianfels is great. New decor is clean and fresh.

Breakfast buffet was good however, having to pay extra for eggs of an omelette was disappointing. Dinner in the bar, service was exceptionally slow and overpriced for what you got. I think our order got lost. It took over an hour to get our meals. No gym facilities.
