Quaint and convenient
If you'll use public transport frequently, Metropole is located conveniently less than 5 min away from Katoomba station and the first/last bus stop to see The Three Sisters or visit the neighbouring Leura. Inside the hotel, I'm transported back in time where the only lift moves very slowly across 3 levels and requires manual door-opening. There are cosy nooks to cuddle up with a book or take their delicious Devonshire tea. The room is spacious tho the bathroom could be a little cold. Service is lovely but you'd need to do without it after 5pm, including keying in a code to let myself in.

Very nice and tidy place. Only complaints would be the thin walls and the heater isnt very warm. I wouldnt recommended coming in the middle of winter if youre not used to the cold.

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!
