Hotel is just old and looks like they tried hard to maintain but the room is quite dated. The shower leaks and the floor squeaks. And the elevator is so old and slow that we decide to carry our luggages up second floor. Very old hotel in a sleepy town. And they don’t serve dinner on Sunday nor Monday.

Visiting the Carrington was a trip back in time. A beautifully appointed hotel, attentive service, and scrupulously clean. We had a non ensuite room but the individual locked “bathrooms” in a shared facility were fine. The hotel bar and lounge area was a great place to relax after a day of local exploration. We will be back.

We stayed one night. The building definitely possesses an old world charm, but it was pricey given the limited amenities (old TV, no windows you could see through, ancient hairdryer).

Staff were nice enough but there were a lot of instructions and rules straight off the bat. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

Was not a fan of the constant posted warnings that persons who weren't registered guests would be expelled if found in the corridors. It's a hotel, not a prison!

Could not find the 'arcades' room. 'Billiards room' had one pool table and a long line.

Unimpressed.

The Carrington is a beautiful old hotel that has seen better days. It is getting worn out. You have to battle the lift to get on it, the floors and stairs creak ominously. We booked dinner reservations for their lovely dining room but they were not necessary-only 6 other people were seated/eating while we were there. The location may have something to do with this. It is my understanding that Katoomba was once a lovely town, but it also has seen better days. My suggestion is to stay and visit nearby Laura.

Stayed at the Carrington again for a couple of nights. . .what a gem. It’s a beautiful faded lady with exquisite art deco public areas which are just delightful to be in -whether it’s the bar, the grand dining room or the tearoom. What a change from a bland chain hotel. Staff are great (the bar staff lack charisma) and the rooms are large but simple, ours was warm and stuffy and we couldn’t open the windows as they have been painted over (a small fix for your maintenance team). The hotel website boasts an al la carte breakfast but it doesn’t exist, just a pricey second rate buffet. Tip, pop over the road to the Tempus cafe for a great breakfast for half the price. Overall a great experience.

The hotel was lovely and going back to that Victorian bygone era was a wonderful experience. It was sad that on pur first night the fire alarm went off at 2:30 am and we had to venture out into very cold weather we were there in July. A disappointment was that we weren't informed that to compensate for the trouble the hotel coffered free breakfast to the guests affected. We only found out because we decided to have breakfast at the hotel after our second night check out when they told us the breakfast was on the house due to the inconvenience. Had we not decided to have breakfast at the hotel that morning we wouldn't have been the wiser.

The Hotel is a grand building but whilst the staff did their best to provide a good service, the overall feeling was one of cost cutting being in place. The continental breakfast has been replaced by a 'High Breakfast' where every bit of food provided was in controlled portions.
Staff appeared to be under pressure and to not be able to enjoy their job which suggests to me some management issues. Despite that two of the main reception staff were excellent and one of the breakfast waiters provided a good service. The impression is that the hotel prefers to host events and functions as opposed to having paying guests.

Lovely old world charm in the Blue Mountains.
Always like to begin with the positives. Decent size rooms with high ceilings and clean throughout. Location is an easy 5 minute walk from the railway station and the local bus stops in front of the hotel. The lounge and bar areas ooze charm and a continental breakfast is included.
Many rooms are not air-conditioned and the window opens about 200mm. No ceiling fans so some people will be challenged with the summer heat.Some of the staff would rather be elsewhere and it shows. We thought some local newspapers would be a nice touch in the foyer and maybe include specialty coffee's with breakfast.
