Guest Reviews

• Elvira (3/5): -
• Vasily (6/5): All good except the problem with the air conditioner. - Location is very convenient, not far from 3 Sisters. The only problem we had with the air conditioner in our room. It worked, but not properly.
• Thom (4/5): Net voldoende! - De mooie wandelingen en uitzichtpunten die vlak in de buurt lagen. Alles was oud, maar dat was niet erg. Wat wel op viel dat het niet schoon was!
• Maree (6/5): - Location A little outdated. Dust piled up under the bed and on PowerPoints.
• Steve (7/5): -
• Sheree (8/5): -
• Marvey A. (8/5): Best Bang for Buck - Wifi is provided. The place is quiet. There were coffee Walking distance to Three Sisters and all the walks that start from Three Sisters. The room felt stuffy. There were molds in the bathroom. The AC barely worked but for the price we paid for 4 nights compared to other motels in the area, we have no complaints. We were told that the building is getting a new look / renovated sometime in April so that would be interesting.
• Rebecca (7/5): -
• onyx (8/5): Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt zu empfehlen. - Sehr gute Lage. Unkomplizierter Check Inn. Ausreichend Stellplätze. Die Ausstattung der "Küche" ist sehr sparsam. Besteck und Teller wären gut gewesen. Eine angenehme "Sitzecke" im Freien wäre schön.
• Mike on Hols (5/5): One night stay in the Blue Mountains - Well placed for exploring Scenic World, Katoomba and Leura. Room large enough for a family of 4 with basic amenities. Contactless entry/departure. Didn't meet any staff during what was a brief one night stay. Room looking a little tired and in need of modernisation.
• Adi (5/5): - Great location SO DIRTY! Much cleaning required in our room, so dusty, areas obviously have not been maintained well.
• Roger (8/5): Vintage style room - The spa in the bathroom. The larger bar fridge Dusty room and carpets
• Kipp (10/5): -
• Ranjith (9/5): -
• Graeme (8/5): - It was comfortable and communication was excellent. All good.
• Amy (7/5): Convenience, clean and affordable - Location and cleanliness The hot water tap for the shower was broken - a real safety hazard. There is also a constant buzzing sound that can be heard and is amplified at night (sounds like electricity - maybe from the neon sign?)
• Tobias (8/5): Für 1-2 Nächte in Ordnung. Alte aber saubere Zimmer. Die Lage ist super! - Extrem gute Lage! Easy Self Check In! Soweit saubere Zimmer Einrichtung in die Jahre gekommen.
• Lloyd (7/5): -
• Joanne (8/5): Great, - Great location, the staff member I did see was pleasant. Its not far from 3Sisters walking distance The strong smell of bleach - way too much
• Annick (6/5): - L’emplacement Vétuste
• John (7/5): - Hassle free, good value excellent location. Would have loved a bath but also weren't led to believe there would be one there. 2 of the 3 electric blankets didn't seem to work but that could have been down to me not holding my mouth straight.
• Nicky (7/5): - Great location v close to three sisters and scenic world
• Martin (8/5): -
• Tobias (8/5): Für 1-2 Nächte völlig in Ordnung! - Ausgezeichnete Lage, besser geht kaum. Ausstattung in die Jahre gekommen
• Danielle (10/5): -
• jagdeep (7/5): -
• Khanh (8/5): - Clean room, and warm bed. It is slighly further from the downtown main road. Just next to bus stop and there is parking place for those go by car.
• Kelly (10/5): We will definitely book here again. - It was clean and bed was comfortable. The property was close to everything. We actually come to the Blue Mountains every few months and usually stay somewhere else but they have lost us now as we will be coming back to this property. We liked everything about the property
• William (8/5): -
• Deborah (9/5): -
• Lakshitha (10/5): -
• Ebony (5/5): - Good location for sightseeing and bus stop There was black mold in the corners and on the blinds. And the room smelt musty and dirty
• Serkan (5/5): -
• Nick (9/5): clean, comfortable and good value - Basic, clean, comfortable and good value
• Maree (8/5): -
• Brian (5/5): Pleasant enough, usually stay here. Convenient location. Will look at alternatives nxt trip. - Location is great. Big and roomy. All facilities were there and comfortable enough. Needs a deep clean, visibly dirty. Decor also needs updating, tired worn and stained. Booked ground floor specifically and got upstairs, no management on site to change.
• Dirk (8/5): Nahe an den Attraktionen, gerne wieder! - Das Motel ist nur wenige Minuten von der Klippe und der Aussicht auf die berühmten "Three Sisters" (Felsen) entfernt. Das Motel liegt in einem sehr ansprechenden Viertel das fast ausschließlich aus ein bis zweistöckigen Häusern aus der guten alten Zeit besteht, oft sind dort Cafes eingezogen. -
• Benedetta (10/5): -
• Berenice (9/5): Great location to the park and hiking trails . Good price too - Location to the hikes and park was awesome . The heated mattress pad was lovely. Fridge microwave all worked great. Lots of room Pavement a little run down but no big deal
• Gernot (3/5): Noch nie so eine lieblose Unterkunft vorgefunden! - Leider nur die Lage. Die Ausstattung war mangelhaft. Man fand nicht einmal einen Teller oder ein Messer um ein Obst zu essen. Ein Toaster hätten wir uns auch gewünscht. Das wären keine grossen Anschaffungen! Die Information am Tisch war ekelig, wieso kann man die nicht erneuern? Das Motel war insgesamt sehr lieblos und das lag nicht an der in die Jahre gekommenen Ausstattung!
• Burger (8/5): - It was convenient for us, just for one night, was nice and clean, bed was comfortable. And it was quiet It would be great, if there would be 2 plates, and 2 bowls for having the musli in the morning. Parking is a bit an issue with all the potholes, because the dirt sticks to the shoe's when it's raining.
• Neena (10/5): -
• carmela alabiso (10/5): -
• Clemence (5/5): - Great location Very uncomfortable bed, noisy and a good carpet cleaning would be more than needed.
• kerry (7/5): Comfortable, quiet and good location. - Location good. Comfortable. Close to everywhere we wanted. Checkin easy. More signage about smoking area near car park.
• Garry (10/5): Definitely stay again - Great location, a short drive into town, walking distance to Echo Point and 3 Sisters. All perfect
• Blank (8/5): Served my purpose exactly- one overnight stay on route - Location Easy access No check in That if you needed something was not clear how to arrange eg more loo paper
• caitlin (9/5): Would recommend - Was clean, good location Couldn’t stay longer
• North (7/5): Pleasant, would recommend for small group of friends - Beds Bathroom door was broken (no lock)
• Swee (5/5): - It's location
• Rodrigo (3/5): Not worth it - The room is small, not particularly clean, with an uncomfortable bathroom and it did not feel safe. cleaner room with sturdy door and lock.
• Christine (10/5): -
• Chiara (9/5): -
• Salvatore (5/5): -
• Kelly (6/5): - Location is great Very dated. Bathroom was dusty. Bedroom dusty. Everything just needed a good clean.
• Beverley (8/5): Perfect for an overnight stay and well placed to walk to 3 sisters or to the RSL Club for dinner - Nice quiet location and very close to Echo Point and 3 Sisters No complaints. Quite an old motel but kept clean and tidy
• Elizabeth (10/5): Pleasant - Clean & friendly helpful staff
• diana (7/5): Ok just to sleep and leave nothing much - Nice to sleep the night. Nothing much but good value for money amd I didn't have high expectations just arrived late to sleep the night and leave early morning
• Ian (6/5): Adequate for a night or two - Room was clean and comfortable and everything worked (always a bonus) although sofa could do with an upgrade! Super location for Echo Point and Three Sisters. Old motel complex so bound to be looking and feeling a bit tired in places, and obviously not sound proofed!
• Jennifer (9/5): -
• Susan (8/5): Good location and comfortable stay - The location was within walking distance to 3 sisters which was excellent.
• Alejandro (8/5): - La ubicación
• Iwan (7/5): Gewoon goed! Kan voor 1 nacht! - Was prima voor 1 nacht Redelijk schoon! Niet heel goed!
• Karen (10/5): -
• Michael (7/5): Tired Motel - Location was ok. Beds were comfortable. It was old and tired. Needed renovation. Bathroom reminded us of something from the east block. There were no eating facilities but that was mentioned in the description.
• Sanjay (8/5): -
• Jérôme (7/5): Le three explorer reste une valeur sûre sur Katoomba - La proximité du site des Three sisters. L’établissement est très vieillissant mais bien tenu. Les essentiels sont présents. Le lit est très raide. Après, c’est peut-être une question de goût?
• Lee (8/5): Great location and very clean - thank you! - Very clean and excellent location, very close to main attraction Three Sisters in Blue Mountains - saved on street parking too!
• Sonja (7/5): -
• MELISSA (6/5): -
• David (8/5): -
• Alyssa (1/5): Very dirty room, the pictures make the rooms seem like they are good abs clean - Only good thing about this motel was the location It was very dirty, mould on the curtains, staining on the carpet and sheets, I think there was some mould on the bed sheets as well, paint cracking in the bathroom, the flu screen in the bathroom was held on my Velcro and flew off from the wind coming in through the window and hit me while I was using the bathroom
• Sophie (8/5): - I really liked how the electric blankets were supplied however we found it difficult to get them turned out/ensure they were functioning. The beds were super comfortable and it was all in all worth the price paid, affordable, accessible, and well located! Very close to the scenic world, Echo point lookout, and reasonably located to Wentworth and Federal Falls. Potentially a body wash sample in addition to the shampoo/conditioner, maybe also a fork or two although there are no cooking facilities I understand this likely isn’t necessary.
• Grant (7/5): Hotel was fine for what we needed for one night. - Hotel was fine for what we needed for one night.
• Daniel (10/5): - Very easy to park and get in to the room all info was in the room and everything works and clean. Heating and hot water spot on. Thanks 🙏 Just the shower head! But I moved it and tightened it worked perfectly.
• Rosetta (7/5): So far so good - location close to scenery far from town
• Al (5/5): Old motel, ok for one night, bed was like a rock, no staff on arrival, I would rate it meh. - AC worked No cutlery or plates so eating meals in was difficult with just a teaspoon
• Stefanie (4/5): - Das Zimmer war leider nicht sauber und hat seltsam gerochen. Das Fliegengitter im Bad war kaputt so das wir Käfer im Bad hatten.
• Sarah (6/5): It did the job for such a short stay. - Location was excellent, check in was easy. Asked for an upstairs room, but didn't get it. Room 36 downstairs. The bathroom was not very clean, the fly screen was hanging open and the exhaust fan didn't work. The carpets were very worn and significantly dusty. The worst part was there were a bunch of air conditioner units right outside the back window that rattled and buzzed the entire time. I'm glad we were only there one night.
• Simon (8/5): -
• Alla (5/5): - Location was nice. Communication was good There was a microwave, but not any plates or forks... Spider net on the windows.
• Michael (8/5): - No breakfast. Good location. Clean and comfortable.
• Victor (9/5): Good place. - Three Explorers Motel is in a great location, within easy walking distance of Echo Point and the main Blue Mountains attractions. The bathroom was clean and with good water pressure. Overall, a convenient and comfortable option for a short stay in Katoomba.
• Tamara (10/5): Had a wonderful stay will be back - Clean and tidy N/a
• Wei-Ju (8/5): -
• Dennis (3/5): -
• Margery (8/5): Pleasant and convenient - Location and space
• Glenn (8/5): Relaxing - Quite and good location.
• Charles (5/5): Gone downhill - When I walked into the room there was a couple of flies in the room. Small insects in the bathroom. Cisten on toilet broken. Hard to flush. One Power outlet in the kitchenette not working. Fridge has cardboard under one leg to stop it wobbling. Dirty floor around the fridge. Mould growing around toilet base at the rear. Air con rattling. This used to be a good motel. It's falling to bits and repairs not being done
• JW092 (8/5): Good spot for a stay in Katoomba - Great location for the Three Sisters and surrounding hikes! A little further away from town. Clean room, comfortable bed and hot shower. Room smelt a little musky - could do with an air freshener
• Jordan Cayabo (7/5): - Location was great. Cleanliness could be better, quite dated, carpets need.a deep cleaning. Chased bugs and wasps out of the flat.
• Trevor (7/5): A quiet, comfortable place to stay close to the 3 Sisters and clifftop walk. - There was no check-in, the door was unlocked with the key in the room. It was close to the main tourist sites. It was very comfortable and quiet. It was a bit tired and rundown, could do with a makeover. But everything worked and I have no complaints.
• Anita (8/5): Good location by 3 Sisters, comfortable motel . - Old style motel however clean and comfortable, nice beds, good value.
• Ruth (9/5): -
• James (7/5): Ok hotel for 1 night - Great for access to Prince Henry walk Bit remote from everything else
• Kumar (10/5): - Awesome stay Nothing as such
• Steve (8/5): - Was quite a central , handy location. Check in was simple. Iron had burnt residue on it from a previous guest
• Filzah (8/5): - Location is super accessible to Scenic world Echo Point lookout and other amenities. Rooms were good size and clean. Host was very prompt in responding to our queries. None
• Guangsheng (8/5): -
• Thierry (8/5): A great place to spend a night or two in the blue mountains when your focus is on the outdoor - Easy to get to, clean overall and comfy. It's a great discovery for a future simple stay. Don't look too much behind the furniture for cleanliness. The place is a little oldish.
