Palais Royale

Location is excellent, walking distance to the shops and a short drive to Echo Point (28 mins if walking). The property is spotlessly clean, very well maintain even though it's an old building. As there's no restaurant operating in the hotel, therefore there's no noise at the lobby, great for those who wants a peaceful and quite stay. I love the sitting area at the lobby, it's very spacious and comfortable.

Location proximity is very central to the lookouts and restaurants and essential shops. The wifi was quite good, staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room had a good sized bath (shower pressure was good and became hot quickly!). Checkin and check out process was seamless. Appreciated the heater in the room as well as the table by the window, iron and ironing board. Carpark was free with plenty of spots. The area is quite safe also. Very nice neighbourhood with the police station across the road.

We enjoyed two nights in a renovated king room, all done in quality heritage style. The bed was super comfortable, good airconditioner and shower. Our booking included complimentary breakfast which was like most people would have at home, cereals, breads and spreads with tea, coffee and fruit juices. If you book direct you can skip the continental breakfast and save $15 per person. If you want a hot breakfast it is available for $25. There was easy, ample parking. If you have trouble with stairs be sure to book a room on ground level as there is no lift in this heritage building.

Staff are friendly and very accommodating to needs of guests. I asked for a room away from the loud creaky staircase and they sorted it out. The room is pleasant, perhaps a little cozy. The location is probably the best in Katoomba if you want a central location in town with private parking. You can walk the main stretch of shops and restaurants quite easily and the 3 Sisters lookout is also nearby.

Lovely old guest house style property with friendly staff and a great location for exploring Katoomba and surrounds. Our room was large and quiet. The facilities are older, but are clean and functional. The building is over 100 years old, and it retains the charm and feel of an older building. We stayed for 4 nights, and all the staff members we encountered were happy,friendly, and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would choose the Palais Royale again.
