카툼바 마운틴 로지

This place is ok, I had a room on the outside top balcony, so was pretty quiet. However, it was a long walk to the bathroom and kitchen. There was no kettle in the room (and they don't supply tea and coffee) so I had to keep walking all the way down the stairs to the kitchen, but then discovered to my horror it closes at 9.30pm and doesn't open till 7.30am. I'm an early riser.. so had to do without my morning cuppa.. mind also be an idea to bring a mug. Cutlery and crockery was few and far between. I didn't see or hear the other guests but that was ok. The room was satisfactory, bed, cupboard and sink. You can't ask for more (besides a kettle)

A place feel like home, the staff adrian is really nice, always gathering people, giving good advices in travelling Australia/ katoomba. He somehow managed the hostel only on his own. I get why people kept commenting this place is cringy, cause a lot of the people with longer stays are really struggling their lives, so they just hang around all day. Lots of common area. If u re into quietness, i think this place is pretty good. But the bathrooms re a bit old and mouldy.

We arrived at night time. When we reached the parking area, it was quite eerie because of the rundown garage next to the property. But when we entered the lodge, it was ok. Rooms are small but clean. Bathrooms and toilets are clean. Rooms are equipped with portable heater.

I've been staying at Katoomba Mountain Lodge regularly for the past six years, and it has become my go to place whenever I'm hiking in the Blue Mountains. What keeps me coming back is how safe and comfortable I always feel. It has a welcoming atmosphere that, for me, marks the end of a long day on the trails. It's the place where you can finally take your boots off, have a hot shower, cook a meal, and rest before your next adventure. The lodge has several bathrooms, so even if one or two showers are occasionally out of order, I've never had to wait. The common areas are spacious, the kitchen is well equipped with everything I need to prepare a meal, and the dining room has a charm of its own. It isn't a luxury hotel, and that's why I stay here. It has character, a relaxed atmosphere, and over the years it has become part of my Blue Mountains hiking tradition. I look forward to coming back every time.
