Beautiful historic old fashioned Australian Hotel, very reasonable and ideal room with en-suite for sharing with my son for a hiking trip to the Blue Mountains. Great wholesome food in the restaurant and plenty of options nearby for food.

Pub has lots of character, nice beers on tap. Accommodation was exceptional value, room was good size with really high ceilings, beautiful big bay window (floor to ceiling), oversized circular wall mirror, comfortable mattress, clean and fresh bed linen, shared bathroom was clean and well maintained, secure parking (off street) behind the pub. Highly recommend this property, also has great location, a few minutes walk away from great cafes & restaurants in Blackheath. Only negative would be the noise from trucks on highway and train station across the road, but would happily stay again and take ear plugs next time.

This place is ideally located across from the train station and close to shops, and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and the shared bathroom cleaned daily. The bed had an electric blanket on it which would be great in winter, though I made use of a lighter blanket that was available instead as I am a hot sleeper. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is no aircon in the bedrooms while there is everywhere else - though a fan was provided, it didn't really do much.

We would have appreciated a microwave in the room, or access to one, but apart from that, it was great.

We had booked a room that had a double and a single bed but when we arrived we found that the room we were allocated only had a queen. Staff then said that “Expedia does weird things” and that we’d have to pay the difference to get a room with more than 2 beds, which was the family room. Not very impressed.
Aside from that the room was clean and very convenient to all the night life of Blackheath. The 2 meals for $36 was also very good.

The rooms and shared bathroom were genuinely nice and comfortable.

I imagine if your room is not on the street side, this wouldn’t be a problem though.

It’s very convenient that the restaurant is just downstairs with fire place, nice meals. Also the bar has a Friday karaoke, good atmosphere.
But, the room is not as good:
No A/C, freezing cold, in the family room, all bed got electric blanket, but on the double bed only half worked. So it was very cold!
No extra blanket. It was freezing cold. I had to put our jumpers and the towels on the top of the bed to make me warm.
Only one wood stick for coffee or teas. No mugs but just disposable paper cups.
Very small toilet and bathroom.

the shower head was broken and delivered a trickle of water, dreadful.
If they knew the power was going off why didn't they tell us beforehand and we would have booked elsewhere.

If You Like Noise Overnight

Please don't select a room at this hotel. This hotel is exclusively used by hotel employees after the bar closes at night. They have free reign of the entire hotel and engage in making all kinds of noise and disturbances. They couldn't care at all about paying customers interested in the concept of sleeping or relaxing.
