Hotel berhampiran Leura Cascades, Katoomba

Location is great! Right next to the train station so you can walk to it. Check in was easy and the staff was very friendly. This hotel is near most of the restaurants in the area. There is a bus stop nearby that will take you to the tourist areas. The hotel was recently remodeled and they are still remodeling some. The remodels are very nice and the beds were comfy. The breakfast is a must have and the staff there is very friendly as well.

This is the second time I have stayed here now. It’s rather good apart from a few little things. I am staying in room 44 and I noticed when I arrived there was mould above my door on the inside this would be considered a health hazard. Bed well made towels laid out nicely but the bed side tables were very marked on the top. Several marks on the walls. The bathroom had a bit of mould as well otherwise I recommend this place 50%

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights with breakfast included and paid $1,200. The location of this hotel is awesome, it's only a few mins away from the 3 sisters and some local hikes. The room itself we found wasn't clean, finding rubbish next to our bed, rods missing from the bathroom including some black stains in the grout, the rain shower also looked a little unclean too....and the bed was definitely not queen as advertised but a twin size and was VERY uncomfortable, half the bed was slanting down. We did ask for this to be fixed, although there was some improvement the 2nd night, we didn't sleep well again for the 2nd night which meant making the most of our trip was difficult because we were so tired. I am so surprised that for a supposed luxury stay that has such wonky beds. I've stayed at Toronga Zoo in Sydney in a tent that had more comfortable beds than this place. The view is amazing from the room looking over the Valley but if you step outside, there's no privacy whatsoever as you can see onto your neighbours balcony and room, so we kept our curtains closed for the most part. The restaurant was excellent but the waiting staff were not very good at explaining the menu or how the courses were going to work. For a hatted restaurant I was surprised, perhaps they were low on hospitality staff. The food and wine was excellent and very much enjoyed it, you can also enjoy a drink in their lounge area in front of the fire which had a very good Ambien. The receptionist was the saving grace of the service who was very accommodating and friendly, she was an absolute super star grabbing us coffee from next door when the cafe was closed. All in all, the experience was OK, it definitely wasn't worth the $1,200 we paid, when we next return to the Blue Mountains, I would stay elsewhere for that kind of money.

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.

Old resort but great activities and amenities for children. Don’t bother with italian restaurant onsite but cafe is okay with nice coffee and hot chocolate. Indoor Heated pool is not suitable for very young children as its a lap pool and an very warm onsen jacuzzi. Train ride was great fun for the kids!

No wifi throughout my stay(they said it's the weather(?)). Restaurant is inactive which makes it a 20 minutes walk hassle just to get coffee in town. TV won't turn on. Since it's not in town, I recommend it only if you come with a car. Rooms are indeed clean and bed is comfy.

Unfortunately we started off on a bad foot when we had to wait in excess of an hour past our book in time for our room to be ready, then when we did finally get in, the TV remote wouldn't work and to turn it on manually meant it was stuck on one channel with no volume. Went back to reception and swapped batteries which didn't help, then we're told that thier maintenance people wouldn't be back until Monday so nothing they could do. To thier credit they did extend our check out time by an hour and provided breakfast at thier sister property in Katoomba. The property is in need of some TLC and to call them luxury apartments is a bit of a stretch, but they are in good condition overall. To access the studio lofts are up a rather tall flight of stairs that doesn't have a hand rail all the way, and the step treads are rather small (only just over half the length of my foot) which will make it very difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The room does have a kitchenette, but the only thing to cook with is a microwave, no hot plate or frypan included, so bring plastic wrap, paper towel etc with you, aswell as cutlery as there was only 1 knife, 3 forks and heaps of spoons. Room had a nice gas log fire place though we needed the a/con to help heat the room. Also a super sized 2 person spa that's so deep that if your not particularly tall you'll struggle to get in and out of. The shower is over the spa and with the weird uneven base, it makes it difficult to stand in to shower, aswell as a lack of grab rails anywhere.

The KYAH looks so lovely on the internet and upon arrival in the public spaces as well as at first glimpse in the room. However, once you look more in detail as you stay in the room and would like to have a good time relaxing and enjoying the Blue Mountains, you will discover, it is not worth the price. Design ist nice and fancy, however the bathrooms will need some refurbishment soon. Nonetheless, I have never seen so much mould in the room itself. This is very dangerous, especially when you not just for one night and are with your whole family including Infant. I have never seen so wet windows after just sleeping which explains the mould. In addition, after having a shower the whole bathrooms hast hundreds of drops from the very low ceiling. While adressing these problems to staff, no real interest in solving the problems were shown. While the remote control was not working, this was solved quickly by replacing batteries. Breakfast was very disappointing. E.g. toast was empty and it was said, there is none anymore available. However, while having a glimpse to the kitchen, there was a full package of toast handled by one of the kitchen staff, but not for the tiny buffet. Dinner at BLAQ was tasty and staff very nice. The rest ist design and in my personal opinion very disappointing and way too expensive ”hospitality”. Better going elsewhere next time.

Stayed two nights, mid week, in a loft room. Check-in was friendly and efficient and all information relating to room location and on site restaurant given. Was very impressed with room, for a loft it was very spacious, very clean and well furnished. As there appeared to be very few people staying during my visit it was super quiet and relaxing. Housekeeping was excellent, cannot fault this place and would have no hesitation staying here again.
