“The hotel strikes me as a place of great potential, especially given its prime location near Katoomba's attractions. While the rooms seem comfortable enough, and I appreciate the historical ambiance, some reports suggest inconsistencies in service and dated aspects in the common areas. It may appeal to those prioritizing location and historical charm over consistent luxury.”
