Palais Royale

Comfortable room, very comfortable new bed, lovely lounge area. Kind, welcoming and friendly reception staff. We enjoyed our stay. It was good value for money and a great location. Breakfast was thrown in as well. We will stay again some time.

The Palais Royal is a Katoomba institution that, while historic, has kept up with the modern conveniences a tourist requires. We stayed in the winter and were happy to find a Daikin recycling system in the room, keeping us toasty warm. The rate included a light breakfast, which was enough, including juice, cereal, toast, tea/coffee. A hot breakfast was also available. I was relieved to find easy parking. As it was a cold winters night we walked to the RSL Club for dinner which offered quick service and a varied menu at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly at the Palais and I will make it my mainstay when in Katoomba. The room is big compared to most and really enjoyed having a bath.

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.
