Blue Mountains Historic Hotel

"If you'll use public transport frequently, Metropole is located conveniently less than 5 min away from Katoomba station and the first/last bus stop to see The Three Sisters or visit the neighbouring Leura. Inside the hotel, I'm transported back in time where the only lift moves very slowly across 3 levels and requires manual door-opening. There are cosy nooks to cuddle up with a book or take their delicious Devonshire tea. The room is spacious tho the bathroom could be a little cold. Service is lovely but you'd need to do without it after 5pm, including keying in a code to let myself in."

"Great location and size. "

"It is located right in the centre of Blackheath, where all the cafes, restaurants and specialty stores are located. It also has a very charming old world feel. We really enjoyed it. "

"Celebrated wedding anniversary & was a surprise for my wife Great choice perfect venue great friendly staff at every touch point Very relaxing venue & enjoyed accomodation, food, location was brilliant with breathtaking views of the Blue Mountains Highly recommend for that special trip"

"Great location. Very friendly hotel staff. Didnt need the mountain view room cos you can easily walk out to view it, but yeah this room is probably bigger. 2 course ( weekdays ) fine dining restaurant opposite the hotel, Echo restaurants serves really good food. Highly recommend. "

"Fantastic location walking distance from station, warm and cosy common area fire place, bar and piano. "

"We had a lovely weekend getaway at Leisure Inn Spires. The accommodation was neat, clean, and well presented. The only downside was that the log effect heater in the room didn't work - would have added nicely to the ambience of being in the mountains in winter. Also the Spa bath in the bathroom was not working in the room we had. Would have been nice to be informed of these when booking, or at least at check in. The location is fantastic, right at the top of Leura Mall. All the shops, cafes and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Would definitely stay here again. "

"After hearing a lot of negative comments about this place I was apprehensive at first. On arrival we were greeted by fantastic staff, pleasant and friendly. It was a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was fine, the rooms were fine but yes the place could do with a bit of a refurb and some money spending to update the place. The hotel really did go above and beyond for our family. "

"Great venue"
