Hotel berhampiran Faulconbridge Cemetery, Faulconbridge

I was very optimistic of this place, and indeed spent a very comfortable afternoon in air conditioning with high speed internet for work. The place is a stone's throw from a multitude of dining options, and the river, and it has a swimming pool. However there was a lot of construction noise from next door, and I never would have booked if I'd known that. It's not on the website. When I peeled back the sheets, housekeeping had left the bottom 30cm of the bed completely un-sheeted under the doona. No under protector or anything, so just my own feet on rough mattress. Awful. The bed was also pretty uncomfortable (hard) and would benefit from a topper. Someone else's dirty socks were in the safe. I was willing to overlook the tradie who came into my room while I was in there. Happy I had the chain on, and it was an honest mistake. All in all I think 3 stars is a bit of a generous review, but I am appreciative of what it's like to be in small business and have external factors affect your product. A general workshop with the staff would bring it up to scratch in no time.

PROS: great spot, pleasant owners, parking available for free, and I gratefully accepted accommodation that I knew had some downsides to it according to TA. Beds Ok. Might I suggest better local tourist knowledge at the front desk? Would still recommend but only 3 star and this could be so easily improved and become a 4 star despite busy road location. You are still in the Blue Mountains. CONS: road/ rail noise. It’s Faulconbridge... not much charm there. Could I suggest you get rid of the trampoline remains? It looks horrible and removal would be easy. Also, when you go down the back road, it also looks down and out. If you fixed these things your motel would be a very desirable place to stay due to its proximity to everywhere in the Blue Mountains.

We enjoyed our three-night stay at Leura Gardens. The accommodation is surrounded by lovely gardens which you can wander around. It is located amongst a quiet residential area which has some beautiful and fancy houses. Our room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. It included a microwave, mini-fridge, kettle, TV and a balcony. There is plenty of parking. The continental breakfast was great and well set-up - it included a variety of cereals, toasts, yoghurt, juices, muffins and a pancake machine. The breakfast room has big windows with a lovely view of the gardens and golf course opposite. The accommodation is only a few minutes drive to Leura Mall which has many cafes and boutique shops, as well as a Woolworths supermarket. A few minutes more and you get to Katoomba which has a larger range of cafes, restaurants and shops, including antique shops. There are many beautiful walks and lookouts in Leura, Katoomba and surrounding areas. We had a lovely few days in Leura and would stay at Leura Gardens again.

Stayed at the Pullman Penrith over the Christmas holiday period to visit the Blue Mountains. The experience was amazing over our 3 mights, 4 days stay. The rooms were spacious and clean, all the amenities and fittings were thoughtfully designed and functional. Beds were so very comfy, and the choices of pillows were amazing. We had such great sleep every night, it didn't even feel like we were away in a different place or bed. Sauna was a really nice addition, a great retreat for my parents and their friend, all in their 60's to go to after long days sightseeing in the Blue Mountains. For us, the gym was amazing, we made full use of the quipment over our time there and I've never seen such a fully fitted out hotel gym before. It's on the same calibre as a local gym you have to pay money for! And did I mention the restaurant? Daily breakfast was awesome, not a great deal of choices, but just enough to cater for all, including the picky eaters (aka kids). We enjoyed a full, nutritious breakfast every morning before going about our day touring the national park. Dinner at Marcel was beyond amazing. We had heard that reviews were good, so we booked a night to try the food. It turned out to be so good that we ended up booking again for the following night. Should've eaten there on our first night too instead of driving around looking for fast food. We also did Aqua Golf nearby which was super fun, even got my 60-something parents to swing a few, and my dad turned out to be a natural. My 12-yo turned out to be a natural genius too. He also got the chance to experience iFly just across the road, what a great once-in-a-lifetime experience. The staff was also super friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back as soon as we get a chance in the future.

Second time here for fairly close access to Sydney International Regatta Centre. Quiet location away from traffic. Cabins are of an adequate size for a family of 4 for a short period. The older cabins are certainly showing their age but comfortable enough for a quick night stop. I think the price we paid reflects this though. Friendly staff when we checked in by phone out of hours.

The place was great ..the staff are very accommodating and they are always attentive to our needs ..great stay and I will recommend to my friends who want to visit katoomba to find a nice and good hotel

We had a long drive too Mercury Penrith from the Central West & my Support Worker was in the adjoining room. It was good to see all the different restaurants but which do we choose ... so I had a nice lamb roast & I think I should have order the children size & the support Worker had a large pasta & salad dish & we where full to the brim!! Our plates where cleaned away as soon as we had given up eating & we where both full!!
