Stayed overnight in one of the "Traditional" rooms with shared bathroom. Room was simply-furnished, large, clean and pleasant, and warm on a cold Katoomba night. "Gentlemen's Bathrooms" were of an elegant era, even though basic by modern standards. The Continental breakfast was generous, with a good variety of well-prepared and well-presented options, and the common rooms were all warm, welcoming,... More

My partner and I booked a weekend away for our anniversary in June and stayed in the Lady Carrington Suite. The weekend started fine - we were greeted by friendly staff and given a run down of the best places to eat and given directions to the suite. We decided to order a coffee before heading out and service was... More

The bath was chipped and cracked with rust stains and a perished rubber bath mat. The hand basin was in a similar dilapidated state. The electric blanket on the other side of the bed didn’t work, the pillows were so flat that even with all four supplied I still awoke with a wry neck.Every movement and sound from rooms adjacent...

This is my first review on Trip Advisor but my stay at the Carrington Hotel was so disappointing I wanted to share my experience, reading the current reviews on Trip advisor I was amazed with the very good/excellent reviews it has received, it seems like an entirely different hotel. The exterior of the building is beautiful and retains character and... More

We were not expecting much from the traditional room ( shared bathroom), and were delighted at the spacious, simply decorated room. The shared bathroom/ toilet facilities were charming, they were very spacious and clean. There were hair dryers and ironing board for guest as well, it was an interesting experience for us. We never met anyone else in the bathroom... More

My husband suprised me with a night away at the blue mountains and we stayed at the very beautiful Carrington Hotel. The hotel is magical. Both outside and inside the hotel you feel you are back 100 years in a magical place. The staff were very friendly and all seemed to know about the hotel, happy to share the history.... More

Upon entering the grounds of the Carrington your thoughts are immediately directed to yester year. The place oozes old world charm and is perfect as a base for exploring the wonders of the Blue Mountains and local valley tracks. The hotel has been so wonderfully restored that you readily forgive the minor faults. The hotel boasts a large dining room... More

The Carrington is old world charm. Whilst it is an old hotel it seems to have been well cared for. The room was huge and well decorated with a feeling of luxury. It is well situated at the top of small hill on the main road and a short walk to all shops, restaurants etc. The staff were pleasant but... More

Stunning hotel. So much history, in such beautiful condition, rooms lovely. If only the sense of grandeur and tradition could be matched by the staff. Unfortunately the interest level here is zilch. The way we were treated on check-in, in the bar and virtually kicked out of the dining room at 9pm and refused dessert was akin to a scene... More

We stayed in their King bedroom on the second floor. The room was reasonable good, no issues. The building restoration and furnishings is exceptional. Their Norman Lindsay theme with his etchings was a delight. Off street parking was good. Their Old Bank Restaurant that is separate from the Hotel was very good. The buffet breakfast was OK and part of... More
