Metropole Katoomba

“Stay at The Metropole, Katoomba, in the heart of the Blue Mountains”

Nice welcoming staff, very clean, great value for money, would highly recommend.

“A quirky place in the heart of the Blue Mountains with such welcoming staff.”

On first impressions, we wanted to leave, but get past the steep slope to the car park, the quirky court yard in the middle of the place and dark reception / restaurant area, and we found a lovely, heartwarming, genuine place to stay.

On first impressions, we wanted to leave, but get past the steep slope to the car park, the quirky court yard in the middle of the place and dark reception / restaurant area, and we found a lovely, heartwarming, genuine place to stay. The staff made it for us, everyone we met was the perfect host. The location is perfect to explore the Blue Mountains by car. The train station is opposite but we drove. The town of Katoomba is ok, a few nice restaurants, great laundrette and good supermarkets. There are no facilities in the room for eating so we’re glad we had our own plates etc. We had an inwards facing room, very dark and tired, but it became irrelevant once we discovered the wonders of the Blue Mountains. Everything seemed brighter. And the hotel’s Devonshire cream tea was delicious. Breakfast was ok, better when we realised to get to the restaurant after the rush as there’s not much room to get your food when it’s busy, but a small but lovely and adequate buffet.

“Tired room in a quaint hotel”

Location is fine close to the railway. But be aware if you are in a car due to poor car park entrance. Rooms are tired and not very clean.

“Very adequate for a 3 star hotel”

Adequate hotel, small, comfortable and very clean. It’s a 3 star hotel, so based on that it’s quite good. Due to being a heritage building, it can be a little noisy and the rooms aren’t double glazed, so noise from the central walkway can be a nuisance when people are chatting as they leave the d… lisää

Adequate hotel, small, comfortable and very clean. It’s a 3 star hotel, so based on that it’s quite good. Due to being a heritage building, it can be a little noisy and the rooms aren’t double glazed, so noise from the central walkway can be a nuisance when people are chatting as they leave the dining room. Curtains didn’t completely block out the light, but a ceiling fan and air conditioner ensured the room was comfortable plus the extra blanket was appreciated.. There was no table in the room to have a cup of tea on, so you had to put your cup on the floor if you sat on the couch. All in one body wash and shampoo provided (so maybe pack your own) . It’s a solid 3 star hotel and they have retrofitted a lift which is handy. I thought breakfast was a little pricey, but compliments to the chef, as the baked beans and gluten free banana bread was delicious. Well situated in Katoomba, a few metres from the railway station and a 3 minute stroll to the Main Street of Katoomba. Parking at the back - bit maybe not great if you drive a low slung car as the driveway was extremely steep. Numerous little lounges available with boardgames provided so if it was raining and you were stuck indoors you would be well catered for.
