The room was just what we needed for the 3 of us. The electric blankets and air con made our stay so much more comfortable. And my son loved the little packets of biscuits.
The only downside was that nothing was within (toddler) walking distance... but everything was only 3 mins drive away, so not too bad.
We enjoyed our stay!

This is a budget motel, so expectations should be adjusted accordingly. The room had the usual budget motel musty smell. The shower stall is small. But on the positive side, the room had a couch, a dining table, and the table settings needed to have breakfast in the room. The heater worked well, as did the available blankets.

Eh.
It's was fine. What you would expect from a budget accommodation. But felt the price was high for the quality.
I elected to pay on arrival but the company tried to debit my account before check in time regardless. They called me 2 hours before their check in time to request payment. I missed the call and was told on arrival (at about 2pm) that they had tried to debit my account and called me about same.
The beds and pillows were dense. Not comfortable. I like a firm mattress but these had no give.
The room was basic level clean. More tidy then clean. Dust build up on light switches and decorative wall panels. But clean sheets and main surfaces.
The shower was a mix of rusty and mouldy edges.
But the water pressure and heat was heaven.
The pool was cloudy but like they were attempting to clean it after a long period of neglect. Which makes sense from other reviews I have read.
If I came to the area again I would try different accommodation.

It was the worst check in experience we have ever had. We tried to check in early as we were just off a cruise, even just leave our stuff so we could go for lunch but our booking was unable to be found then we were told it was under a different name! Not ours ! Eventually the booking was found and the expression \"'my bad\" was muttered by the receptionist. We are still waiting on an apology. The pool was like pea soup and we didn't think it was safe to swim in. The room was clean and spacious for 5 and the water pressure was good. It was so hot when we were there and so disappointed we couldn't swim, the motel having a pool was one of the reasons we booked it.

Sky Rider is a basic motel that is very clean and well maintained.

Its location is not convenient if you prefer to be able to walk to local restaurants and attractions. This is particularly of concern as parking in Katoomba is at a premium and the steep streets make walking any distance challenging for anyone with mobility limitations.

The motel advertised having a laundry facility but the only dryer was out of service while we were there.

I've tried to add photos however Expedia puts some sort of size limit on them but doesn't specify what that is.

We stayed three nights and at a budget price the accommodation was very good. The bedroom was large and most importantly very clean, towels are in need of replacing. Our room included a microwave and kettle , plates and utensils so we were able to reheat food and eat in…it’s a shame there is no dinning room as I would have enjoyed getting out breakfast at our accommodation. Would I stay there again or recommend it to my friends? my response is YES, it’s an old fashioned motel at an affordable price with very clean and comfortable beds.

Affordable, comfortable and lovely staff.

Our stay at Sky Rider exceeded our expectations. Not only was it affordable but the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Our accommodation was roomy and the bed very comfortable.It was a bit of a walk into town and to the railway station, about 25mins which we didn't mind. So much to see and do in the area.

This property is really badly maintained and superficially cleaned . Not only did the bathroom tiles need a good scrub but the shower floor had broken tiles. The basin was cracked and the interior needs a good paint especially around the front door. Room service was terrible. They sort of made the bed, didn't change the towels, empty the bin or wipe down the bathroom. Overall it felt really grotty and I'd classify it as cheap and nasty. I will never stay there again and wouldn't recommend it under any circumstances.

Rooms set up with refrigerator, hot pot, coffee cups, glasses, plates, bowls, cutlery, instant coffee, teas, creamers and a welcome biscuit. My queen room was large and clean. In addition to bed, room was outfitted with large closet, dresser, 2 bedside tables with lamps In room table and chairs large enough to dine at. Traveled with my 2 adult sons and had joining rooms. Rooms had heating and air conditioning units. Nice little table with 2 chairs outside rooms. You'll need a car to get around. Would definitely stay here again. Older property which has been updated and well maintained.

We had a very pleasant stay here. The room was spotless and roomy, although it was a bit away from main streets, it’s still my first choice if I will be around Katoomba again next time

we have stayed here a few times now but my last visit was not so great.
Service was excellent but the room although clean everywhere but the ceiling.
Mouldy ceiling, the room smelt damp and musty. Room 46 caused me to have irritated eyes, breathing and forced me to spend the night with the window open which made the room too cold. Eventually I slept in my car. I left early after hardly no sleep. Seriously this room needs immediate attention.

An easy to find comfortable place to stay . Bed very comfortable. The microwave very convenient especially when too wet to go out to eat. A nice clean cosy place to stay. So close to the Katoomba shops and attractions.

The property overall was was just run down and bad, although clean for the most part the ceiling was covered in what looked to be black mould and the whole room smelt of mould very strongly.
The air-conditioning units filters looked as though they had not been cleaned in weeks and the bathroom overall was just a little grimey.
The bed was clean and comfortable however the lingering mould smell made it hard to relax at all.
The fold out couch was also very disappointing as the mattress was nothing but springs with a little fabric on top making for a very uncomfortable sleep.
And the lack of overall lighting in the room was a little strange.

I was impressed by the quality of this motel. My room was spotlessly clean and nicely updated, with every convenience one would expect. A toaster was a nice touch. It's obvious the owners take pride in the upkeep of their property.
I particularly like the convenience of literally parking at your front door at this traditional one level motel. No stairs to lug your luggage up to distant rooms.
The motel is conveniently located with only a very short drive to Katoomba and Leura. As it's ocated off the main highway, it's quiet at night, with only light traffic on the nearby Old Bathurst Road.
I found the staff friendly, efficient and welcoming. I noticed a large library of board games and DVDs in reception, which would be good for families.
I would gladly stay at the Sky Rider again.

Stayed for 3 nights. Room was good. It had a kettle, microwave and toaster. But used crockery was not taken away during our stay and beds were not remade.

This motel is on the outskirts of katoomba but easily walkable into town. A bit tired in places but spotlessly clean rooms, really nice helpful staff, very quiet and convenient. Leanne and Harry on the staff team were extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you!

Everything worked as it should have. I didn't try the air conditioning. The bed was comfortable.

The check in was easy, the receptionist knew I was arriving late and that was not a problem.

The motel was a walkable distance from town.

I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again if the price was right.
