Hotels near Tarpeian Rock, Katoomba

The hotel is located in a historic site and is very classically decorated. The attitude of the staff is very friendly, and there is live piano performance in the evening. The breakfast quality is high and there are many choices. The hotel can see the sunrise of the Blue Mountains, highly recommended! The only thing to note is that the hotel does not have a lift!

On arrival the place appeared rundown but not terribly bad. We arrived late and settled into a shared 4 bed dorm. We got lucky and it was just us to start. After an hour of sleep on a bed of rocks, a guest (who was called an annoyance by staff to me) was placed in our room. The gentleman was drunk and noisy upon arrival, up and down with all the lights on and off at least once an hour. This would have been fine except I was informed by an unapologetic and rude staff member the next day (hours after checking out) that there was a spare room he could have been placed in. Being in a shared dorm you expect other travellers, we ourselves had just driven for 15 hours from queensland. The first thing we were hoping to do upon arrival was shower, alas there was no towels to be found anywhere in the premises. And not for a lack of searching either as I searched both that night and the next morning before we left. The room was provided with a tiny electric space heater, which combined with a broken window and high ceilings, did nothing to keep any heat as we froze in our beds all night to the sound of our roommates jet plane snoring. The next morning we promptly checked ourselves out by 10am. Whilst we waited to see if any staff would show (in case you're wondering, they didnt), we shopped around online for a new hotel. Having found a new hotel who could get us in (and with a working shower) by 11am we sent a text to the property asking them to contact us. I prebooked 2 beds for 10 nights, of which we stayed for 1. None of which has been refunded, or acknowledged, after multiple attempts to contact the hostel I was told to take it up with booking.com from the rudest staff member I had yet to speak to. After following all the steps on booking.com I was ignored by the property for 10 days. In this time I have called and sent multiple messages to the property. I would not recommend my worst enemy stay with the conditions we were greeted with. I am yet to receive any communication from the hostel regarding my stay.

I stayed here one night and I didn't expect to have a massage chair in my room, super recommended

Boutique hotel, British style. The rooms and restaurants have a wonderful view, the valley filled with greenery, the elm trees blooming on the top of the tree, the birds rising from the sky, the colorful clouds.

Beautiful property. Stunning gardens. Very friendly staff. Spacious family twin rooms. Awesome breakfast. Breakfast/restaurant staff must be commended on their hospitality. They were very sensitive to our religious diet needs and approached us on their own to accommodate our needs. Absolutely amazing. Huge thank you.

The location is not on the main street, but driving is no problem. It's very quiet at night, and you can watch the stars while standing in the yard. There is a microwave and simple tableware in the room. The key is that the price is very beautiful

I did not feel cold. The location was very convenient. The person of the hotel responded politely. There was no problem with cleaning the room itself.

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.

Very good, the environment is really good and the rooms are also very good. However, on the way to two train stations from Katoomba, the Blue Mountain Line trains are not frequent, so if there is no train, look at the timetable. There is not much to eat around, so supper and breakfast should be prepared in advance or think of a good way. There are also several breakfast brunch shops in the town of Blackheath. Overall perfect score
