Disappointing Stay – Poor Service and Inadequate Facilities We had one of our worst experiences at Hotel Blue and Cottages. The front desk staff was rude and dismissive, showing little concern for customer. The air conditioning unit in our room started leaking during the night, forcing us to turn it off on a hot day. With a 5-year-old in the room, we endured a sleepless night in unbearable conditions. Despite the hotel providing an after-hours contact number, our calls and texts went unanswered. The next morning, I received a casual response, “Hi, just got your message,” which lacked any sense of urgency or apology. When I raised this at checkout, the staff simply said they would “look into it” but offered no apology or resolution. If after-hours support is not genuinely available, why advertise it? This experience was unacceptable, and we will not be returning.

Terrible receptionist. The breakfast is nothing like the picture. Instant coffee, toast, cereal and yoghurt stored in a fridge with a very strong sour milk smell.

Antiquated. Front desk not open for ckeck-in until 2 and not very friendly. Breakfast is a joke. We were there 45 minutes after opening and butter for toast all gone and no one around to replenish. Little variety. Have to make coffee with powdered substance and add water from a pot, not even warm.

The location of the property is great. The parking onsite is limited but there is also street parking. The beds are very comfortable and there is adequate heating and airconditioning in the rooms. The bathroom is in need of maintenance to deal with the peeling paint and mould. The breakfast starts at 8am.

I love this Hotel. We have stayed twice this year. It’s in a perfect location for visiting the Blue Mountains and only 10 minute walk to the centre. Great value for money :)

Terrible motel in blue mountain
Absolutely no service from front desk. Seems unfriendly and unwelcoming. Plenty of parking partly the motel is totally no busy and likely only us as their guest. Can tell why.. low seasons and poor service. Our room is at second floor. There is no toilet amenities. Toilet is small. Overall the precise condition is just old. Morning breakfast is just simple. No hot food at all especially cold winter. Cannot expect much from free breakfast included. Everything is self-service.

Weekend away.
This is an old style building but could use some TLC. Very rundown and needs a good clean. Beds were passable but nothing special. Rooms had good heating. Lady at the service counter when checking in did not want to be there and felt more of an hindrance to her. There is approx 7 car spots for all those rooms so be prepared to park on the street.

The cottage was lovely and suited our family well, the continental breakfast was limited but fine. Needs more outdoor lighting to see at night, maybe clear the moss as very slippery.
