A characterful building that has been brought back to life following the period of lack, firstly of maintenance and then its usage. An excellent investment of time and finance. Hopefully this will have a long term impact.

The Carrington has a lot of history, it’s a pity that state of the rooms of the hotel also are quite outdated

Ambience Ambience Ambience. Please keep the old world character of this hotel. It was a real joy to discover the TV behind closed cabinet doors where it stayed. It's location at the top of Katoomba is perfect and adds to its charm and amenity.

Checked in at the Carrington Hotel Katoomba. There is a writers festival on and they have taken over the Hotel (Dining Hall and it would appear orher rooms). Our room has a view of a carpark (think we are in the overflow section). Very disappointed that we were not advised of the restrictions that are in place during the writers festival, would have booked somewhere else if we had known.

A beautiful old hotel in a breathtaking location. Every detail was superb. The staff and service was exceptional.
The included continental breakfast was much more than I expected and filled our tummies before a day of exploring.
Super soft bedding and very spacious rooms.

The Carrington is conveniently located in the centre of Katoomba & makes it easy to access the main shopping area. However, the hotel is past its glory days and is tired & in need of a refresh. The bed was overly soft & the chairs were uncomfortable. Disappointing experience overall.
4.0
Old world style however furnishings were marked/damaged and outlook presentation was mediocre. Continental breakfast very average. Coffee was offered in a thermos.Only one cheese selection & one meat. No fish.

Beautiful character hotel full of history and atmosphere. Excellent location (only a minutes walk to train station and on Main Street with cafes and shops). Stayed in middle of winter and room was spacious and toasty warm. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to stay!

I always stay at the Carrington when in Katoomba, so much history, rooms are comfortable & Champagne Charlie’s is a great place to enjoy a red wine in front of the fireplace. My only criticism is that you can’t get anything to eat after 4.30pm and the Grand Dining Restaurant is closed Sunday, Monday & Tuesday.

Beautiful, majestic, historical hotel. Great position, easy walk from the train and public transport. Please note the Bamboo Box restaurant across the road has the best Chinese food we've ever had. Lovely, relaxing place to stay.
5.0
What a lovely hotel. Old with loads of character, high ceilings, grand dining.
This does come with a few minor faults like squeaky floorboards and 'character' fittings and furniture, however if you are looking for a supreme swanky modern boutique experience, please don't book here and complain afterwards.
The staff were superb, as was the experience 👌

The Carrington House is amazing. Walking the stairs the steps creaked but once you are in your room you hear no outside noise. The bar is amazing and the sitting areas and lounges are plentiful. Perfect location for visiting Katoomba & the Blue Mountains.

Beautiful old fashioned hotel. Beautifully furnished and decorated (with a few odd touches). Great cocktail bar. If you like old world charm...with a few creaky floorboards and the world's oldest functioning lift...you'll love this place.

Lovely old world hotel that everyone should experience. Room was adequate but really needed air conditioning. The supply of bathroom shower supplies was insufficient for two people. Otherwise, a pleasant stay.
