Good location however dated and needing a refresh

Unfortunately we were in a room that has not been renovated in years. Overall ok for one night but simple things like having a net curtain only half the height (top half) on the bathroom window did make us laugh as it felt like we were half revealing to the outside. The shower was for very short people even when fully adjusted. Positives was that it in a good location, with plenty of places to eat locally and parking available round the back. We didn't meet any staff as we arrived too late and left too early so can't comment.

Room was tiny and dirty with mold on the ceiling and in the bathroom. The air conditioner did not work for heating so we were given a little fan heater for warmth. The front door lock/code did not work, fortunately the back door did.The duty manager did the best he could with what he's working with and gave us free breakfast for all the problems. The building and common areas are lovely and the breakfast was good.

A fabulous stay, Olde-Worlde charm abounds, from the plush sofas in the beautiful sunny lounges to the library and games room. Our room was quite modern and very comfortable, a 3rd floor room that stayed toasty and warm without turning on the heater even on the crisp autumn nights. The dining room has Breakfast options at a reasonable price, and it was convenient and plentiful, good quality food. The location was handy to the main street and other facilities. We were lucky enough to get a parking spot in the carpark but the signage could be better as the interior boom-gate is a bit confusing. Felt very safe here, would come again.

The staffs were friendly. The hotel stay was pleasant overall, but the linens on one of the beds had mold, so that bed couldn't be used. That was the only disappointment.

Quaint property with helpful staff. Rooms and facilities were fine. There is no staff onsite after 5pm and unfortunately the night we stayed there was a water leak in the eaves which caused non- stop loud dripping all night which was like having water torture. This condition could not have been new as I inspected it from outside in the morning and could see this was existing issue they failed to repair.when you fail to be able to sleep it is hard to rate this any higher.

Very unique setting if you like the old style hotels. Very turn of the century. Room 2 was disappointing as the door didn’t fully open so entry and exit was a struggle. Washroom fan was very loud and water temperature was very difficult to regulate. Staff was good.

Great location, across the street from the train station, so easy to get to. There’s a lift available for heavy luggage, which was nice to not need to carry our bags up the stairs. The hotel was cute, the interior reminded us of the hotel in Gilmore Girls. There’s a library and games room available, but it was a bit hot and stuffy in there for us to use - would be really nice in the winter months, I’m sure. We were there for 1 night and didn’t have a great sleep - we heard a lot of noise coming from the courtyard/hallways/other rooms, and the bed was quite firm, so any movement would wake each other up. Staff was very friendly and provided a lot of recommendations for restaurants/cafes in the area.

This hotel was in a great location. Directly across the streer from the Katoomba train station. There were many dining options within a short walking distance from the hotel. Our room was large and comfortable. We would recommend staying there for easy access, comfort, and friendly atmosphere.

This was my 2nd stay at Metropole and I was fortunate enough to nab one of the newly renovated rooms. It was beautifully styled and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The check in staff member, Yolande, was so welcoming. It's a gorgeous, unassuming hotel with great rooms and facilities. I highly recommend The Metropole to anyone traveling to the Blue Mountains. I'm looking forward to my next stay!
