Hotel berhampiran Odd Mountain Oddities, Katoomba

While the location was good, the motel itself was not. When we first walked into our room, it smelled damp and musty, and the carpet, chairs and even the beds felt damp too. There were numerous spiders and bugs in the room, including one in the shower, and there were also a number of dust webs which showed it clearly hadn't been cleaned recently, or at least not thoroughly. Furthermore, the beds and pillows were very hard, many of the power points were inaccessible due to their location behind the bed, and the bathroom was very small. We had booked for two nights but left after one as we were so disappointed by the cleanliness of the room, especially due to the current spread of the virus.

Room clean and bed very good. Bathroom had excessive condensation but could have been due to cool climate. Location was ideal as I did not have to drive through Katoomba to get anywhere as it is situated with easy access to the Great Western Highway in either direction.

I have just come home from a delightful stay at Leisure Inn Spires Leura. From beginning to end, it was everything I could have asked for. I was met by Maria in reception, who couldn’t do enough to help me. She was so obliging, even when it caused her more work. She is a real asset to your company- I hope you realise how much value she adds to your business. I’ve stayed in the Blue Mountains many times, but feel like I’ve found my new home base when I’m up here.

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.

Beberapa maklum balas yang membina. Kebaikan 1) Cantik. Sukar untuk mencari resort di Australia dengan keluasan dan kolam renang luaran. 2) Satu tan kemudahan! Kuda, kawasan kanak-kanak, Taman pengembaraan, padang golf, 2 kolam renang, gimnasium yang lengkap. (Saya harap ini disebut daripada memberikan saya peta yang dilipat (nampaknya minta maaf!) 3) Bilik besar 4) Amalan selamat COVID yang cukup baik di restoran tidak konsisten di tempat lain 5) Kakitangan yang menyenangkan semasa sarapan pagi setiap hari dan satu makan malam 6) Saya tidak mempunyai anak tetapi suka aktiviti untuk kanak-kanak terutamanya kereta bermotor Peluang 1) Kami mendaftar masuk ke hotel lewat pada petang hari bekerja. Wanita yang mendaftar masuk saya cukup baik, tetapi mungkin mempunyai sedikit kesenangan dan perhatian yang tulus terhadap pengalaman kami, seperti yang berikut: a) Adalah baik untuk bertanya sama ada kami pernah tinggal di sana sebelum ini atau mengetahui semua kemudahan. Kami hanya menemui beberapa perkara ini semasa berjaga malam itu dan keesokan harinya. b) adalah baik untuk bertanya sama ada kami memerlukan maklumat tentang pilihan tempat makan atau memerlukan tempahan makan malam atau jika kami akan keluar untuk makan malam kerana kami mendapat tahu pada jam 7:30 malam bahawa bandar terdekat, Leura, kebanyakannya telah ditutup atau telah ditutup. ditempah habis. Restoran utama Embers dan Jamesons hanya menerima tempahan untuk 2 tempat duduk yang telah ditempah pada masa kami bertanya. Nasib baik kami mempunyai kereta dan memandu ke Katoomba. Nasib baik kami tidak minum sebelum makan malam atau kami tidak akan dapat memandu! Jika mereka tahu pilihan tempat makan adalah terhad, perlu ada kewajipan berjaga-jaga & pergi lebih jauh untuk memberitahu kami. Secara berseloroh, wanita di kaunter penyambut tetamu memberitahu pasangan lain pada pukul 7:30 malam bahawa satu-satunya pilihan ialah perkhidmatan bilik, kerana ”ini adalah pergunungan, bukan bandar” yang pasangan itu menganggap komen yang tidak sopan. Pada malam kedua kami mendapati secara kebetulan terdapat 2 lagi tempat makan, lounge golf dan gril. Cadangan saya kepada pihak pengurusan adalah, sila jangkakan keperluan pelanggan terutamanya apabila kita mungkin tidak menyedari apa batasan yang mungkin ada 2) Terdapat pengubahsuaian lembut hartanah baru-baru ini. Jubin itu mungkin mempunyai lebih banyak peluntur dan gosok di sekitar sisa lantai. Saya tahu kadangkala mungkin terdapat lap pembasmi kuman di atas jubin tetapi grout kadangkala terlepas dalam proses ini dan kelihatan kotor. 3) Pancuran mandinya bagus tetapi ia terlalu kuat & tidak boleh digunakan melebihi kuasa 20% kerana ia tidak boleh dicondongkan ke bawah atau ia menyembur keluar ke tikar lantai di luar bilik mandi. Dalam masa 2 saat menghidupkan pancuran mandian, tikar lantai telah basah. Saya boleh mandi dengan baik tetapi ia mungkin lebih baik. 4) bahagian luar bangunan hotel boleh lakukan dengan bersih. Banyak sarang labah-labah di tingkap. Dari tingkap kami, kami juga dapat melihat teres di bawah dengan sekumpulan perabot luar lama berselerak di dalam longgokan. 5) Terdapat beberapa lampu sorot yang sangat terang yang menyinari bangunan pada waktu malam. Sepanjang malam. Saya tidak pasti sama ada ia bertujuan untuk menerangi bangunan yang boleh dilakukan dengan lembut. Terdapat sedikit kebocoran cahaya melalui langsir; ini membuatkan saya fikir ia adalah pagi setiap kali saya bangun. Katil agak selesa tetapi ia menjejaskan sedikit irama sirkadian saya. 6) Menu boleh dilakukan dengan membuat penggantian untuk resipi yang lebih cepat & lebih moden yang penuh dengan rasa dan nutrisi dengan masa dan pembaziran persediaan yang minimum, melihat menu secara keseluruhan dan bukannya item individu untuk disediakan. Ini akan membolehkan lebih banyak duduk antara Jamesons dan Embers semasa makan malam dengan menu yang pelbagai. Saya percaya di sinilah sekatan jalan itu. Terdapat seorang lelaki di Embers yang boleh menjadi lebih mesra (Dia mempunyai loghat Perancis) kerana apabila kami meminta untuk melihat menu untuk Jamesons, dia berkata mereka telah duduk pada 7 & 8:30 dan saya terpaksa memberitahunya bahawa saya perlu lihat menu sebelum membuat tempahan, selepas itu dia lulus menu dan tidak pernah kembali. Resort ini mempunyai potensi yang besar. Mereka boleh melakukan pakej golf, Pengembaraan atau keluarga & menawarkan semua kemudahan resort dan aktiviti berbayar. Saya berharap untuk kembali & berharap jangkaan saya akan melebihi masa itu!

Our second, or maybe our third visit to the Hydro and it is just as lovely. Do not come here if all you are looking for is a place to sleep. However, if you are interested in the history, the beauty of the place and a totally relaxing time, this is the place. Come during the week where there are less people and it will be as if you were living in your own country retreat. We had previously stayed in the Belgravia wing and this time, we were in the Delmonte wing - top floor right at the corner. The room was very small, but the view was magnificent! This wing used to be for staff accommodation and was the most recently renovated. And it had lifts! Breakfast was ok but the room made it special. Dinner in the Wintergarden was first class. We didnt have an opportunity to try the Boiler Room. It had lovely views. Worth popping into the Pavillion for a spot of history and good coffee. Staff were friendly and accomodating. A special thank you to Mahesh at Reception who organised for historian Marcus to take us for a tour. We were joined by other residents along the way. I am definitely coming back for a tour Marcus is planning which starts from 10 p.m (I will leave that to your imagination). And thanks also to Ryan who gave us the low down on which were the best rooms for our next visit. A warning: there are road works in front along the Great Western Highway. I am told that when there is drilling works, guests are accommodated on the valley side so as not to be inconvenienced.

Renovated interior with a chic look, however the toilet was pretty dark. Could do with better lightings.

We booked the Gourmet Getaway package on the day and luckily got the last room - loft room. The loft had a private entrance and balcony and was well secured and had a great fire-place, perfect for couples! Pramuk was welcoming with wonderful Japanese greetings and was very kind and friendly. Three course dinner at the Wintergarden was fantastic with great service. Breakfast at parklands was warm and delicious.
