Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa

We had a 2 night break at Lilianfels and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The staff were friendly and welcoming, in reception and the lounge. Our room was lovely and comfortable with everything we needed. The food we ate was very nice and a good choice to suit all tastes and budgets. The proximity to Three Sisters was great and within walking distance of Katoomba. When we visited the Blue Mountains it was freezing so we were glad we had chosen Lilianfels as our base as it was warm and cosy and thoroughly enjoyable.

Despite its formidable appearance this is a warm and welcoming little hotel with lovely staff and a wonderful setting near the Three Sisters and Echo Point. Be prepared for the tea, drink, and dinner prices, although a very generous breakfast is included. Also be prepared to discover that both Leura and Katoomba are a taxi ride away, and both little towns, while charming, roll up the sidewalks at 5 pm. Its a challenge to find a place for an evening meal in either village, and the Woolworth grocery seems the liveliest place in town. Another review noted that the Echo dining room was closed during their visit, and it was hosting a private event during our stay as well. After 5 pm dining-out options are thus pretty slim, although the hotel bar has nice options if Darley is too expensive for you. Echo Point and the Three Sisters walk are spectacular, and the hotel seems to have plenty to keep you entertained with a nice indoor pool and great sitting room.

Looks great from the outside and location is fantastic but amenities and service was not up to the mark. Also enjoyed high tea which was needlessly overpriced. Room was a bit musty but very well turned out. We ended up having dinner at the Echoes hotel restaurant (affiliated) which was very good and included a fabulous pianist. Breakfast was very average. Overall good experience but overpriced and overrated. Next time we'll try the Echoes hotel instead.

Only spent one night here and initial impressions were excellent. It has the atmosphere of a exclusive club and the staff are lovely! Rooms very comfortable with excellent bed and good shower. We had originally booked in the echo Resteraunt but on checking we were told this had been cancelled due to a large conference. It would have been nice to know in advance. We were given the options of dining in the lounge or in Darleys Resteraunt and choose the lounge. Bit disappointed since menu was very limited and were treated to piano player destroying song after song!! Not to our tastes but we had no choice and was very expensive. Wi fi is not good. Very slow and constantly logs you out. Overall location brilliant but I feel some updating needs doing and they are riding on their reputation a bit!!

Cherful atmosphere with refined ambience. The Landscape and view Is excellent, his mytisch Charme and victorian style give you the feeling you are in a old Bristish environment, and you want to follow the traiditions with tea time, wonderful dinner and drink Whisky while you are playing Billard. The Hotel has also two swimmingpools and Spa. Great feelings and relax.
