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.
Beautiful interiors of leaded windows in large library/games room.

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.

Unfortunately all my pillows stank of stale sweat.
I loved my stay here. Super close to everything including transport. The lady at the check in desk was so lovely and extremely helpful. Beautifully furnished library and games room. And the room itself was so nice. Highly recommended.
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.
Everything you have come to expect from an older hotel. Staff is nice. Limited desk hours. Rooms were clean. Super close to train which made transportation easy!
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!

Quaint Oldy Worldly feel to Hotel.
Loved the stained glass windows.
The room was very clean and comfortable.
The down sides were that the tv remote was broken and their scrambled eggs in the morning were just a slab of egg. Not light and nice
Overnight stay suited us in a good location to shops and restaurants. Bathroom had steps which could be a problem for those with mobility issues but fine for us. Old lift was a bit problematic- slow and didn’t always register. Otherwise, an old hotel with lovely features like a library.
We received a warm welcome for Yolande on reception and she was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We were upgraded into a newly renovated room which was lovely, comfy bed and plenty of space. It was lacking places to store clothes but overall a nice looking room. The main issue we had was the noise during our stay, we could hear our neighbours e.g. their alarm which woke us up and the beat from the music in the breakfast room was very audible in our room (we were right above the breakfast room). You can tell they are investing money to upgrade the hotel so I hope that better soundproofing is on the list on. Breakfast was okay, small selection of food served buffet style.
Very comfortable bed and nice linen and towels. The room was clean and everything worked. A very small TV and the fan was too wobbly and squeaky to use overnight. The walls are quite thin, could hear a child coughing in the room next to me. Overall, I’d still stay here again, good value.
Really lovely place, right next to the train station! 1 min walk to bus that takes you to most hiking spots. Really lovely people work there! Overall a great experience! Would stay again!
