Pretty good for a private room at a backpackers. We were up high with cute window seat and view. My partner thought it smelled weird with strange vibes, but I was pretty happy, room was cute, toilet and showers were separate but private and lockable.it definitely a quirky place but was still quite and reasonably clean.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, few minutes drive from Katoomba, very close to Evans Look out. Place is very new with digital key system. Breakfast buffet was great in the restaurant next to the fireplace. Hot tub is available outside (booking needed). Parking is free. Family room is excellent with a small fridge, expresso machine and a double bunk bed that can accommodate 2+1 kids. Perfect for families.

    Great location, but basic pub accomodation. Room was cheap and facilities basic. Great location though. Staff friendly, if a bit gruff - again good basic pub. Would stay here again.
