A Unique Experience in a Historic Gem
The historic building and elegant interior left a strong impression. The staff were incredibly kind, and the complimentary breakfast was delightful. While there were a few inconveniences due to the building’s age, the unique experience it offered made it all worthwhile. I was very pleased with my stay.

Great stay at the Currington Hotel
We enjoyed our stay at the Carrington - beautiful and spotlessly cleaned room and bathroom, very comfortable bed, complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner at the hotel restaurant - delicious food and fantastic service. Thank you.

Lovely old world charm in the Blue Mountains. Always like to begin with the positives. Decent size rooms with high ceilings and clean throughout. Location is an easy 5 minute walk from the railway station and the local bus stops in front of the hotel. The lounge and bar areas ooze charm and a continental breakfast is included. Many rooms are not air-conditioned and the window opens about 200mm. No ceiling fans so some people will be challenged with the summer heat.Some of the staff would rather be elsewhere and it shows. We thought some local newspapers would be a nice touch in the foyer and maybe include specialty coffee's with breakfast.

This is a beautiful place to stay. We stayed here for 2 nights as a final destination after doing a road trip for 12 days. It was lovely just to sit on the verandah and relax with a book and a nice drink. The only thing i would probably say is that they kept the heating on in the hotel all day and night, i know this is a really big old hotel that may get cold in winter but it was so hot and stuffy. We had to have the air con going in our room all the time just to feel some coolness. But that was my only negatively about this great place.

It was lovely to finally have a stay in this beautiful heritage hotel. The rooms were modest in size. Very little room for suitcases. A hand rail for the shower over the spa bath would be helpful for limited mobility. The surface of the spa bath was a bit stained. There was no airconditioning which may be an issue in summer. No instructions for the wall mounted heater. The electric sockets for charging our phones were behind the bedside table near the floor which was difficult to access with reduced mobility. Had to disconnect the lamps to charge the phones. Consequently discovered that the wiring on the lamps had deteriorated, and the safety inspection for them was well out of date. The lamps were replaced the next day.
