Lovely big rooms and great staff

10.0

We loved the big family room for our trip. Location is great too

Breakfast was very basic.. would be good to see more fruit or eggs. It was mentioned to have yoghurt but not when we stayed.

As it was for 1 night, it was bearable but I could not stay there again

3.0

The hot shower was good

The cottage was not cleaned properly. Dust was present in every corner of the place. The kitchen had some foul-smelling rags and tea towels that we had to throw away because the odour was making everyone feel sick. It seemed like they had only changed the beds and provided clean towels, but the rest of the house was neglected. There were used Band-Aids left in the main room, there were no bin liners, there was no extra toilet paper provided eventhough the booking was for 6 people.

Not bad and no regrets

We've been visiting the Blue mountains since I was a child and have always loved the mountain air, the location of Hotel Blue is great 👍 it's close to everything, it's minutes from the train station and almost next door to Katoomba RSL which is usually a great place for a meal The heaters worked and the room was warm through the night, the bed was comfortable, the fridge while small did work, and there was tea, coffee, sugar, milk and a kettle which was definitely appreciated :)

Hotel Blue is an older building so of course you've got to factor that in, it's also a budget motel so you can't expect The Ritz, however unfortunately when we stayed the hot water heater was playing up so one of the things we really did expect and hope for considering we had and paid for a private bathroom in the middle of the cold mountain winter was a hot shower in the morning but unfortunately neither my wife or I got to have one on either of the days/nights that we stayed, also the Internet was close to unusable as was watching anything on the tv at night before bed, so make sure you've at least got data available on your phone or tablet if need be, otherwise it was clean and comfortable and what we'd expect for a budget last minute weekend getaway for two
