The Blue Mountains is truly a wonderful part of the world and a place that all Sydney tourists should visit. However, I always struggle to find good accommodation, Lilianfels stands out for its location, grounds, spa service but it comes with a price. I have stayed here previously but this time I chose to come alone for a Sunday getaway.... More

I was going to give the hotel 4, but every day was something else that bothered me, especially considering how pricey it is. This hotel clearly has been something special. It thinks it still is, but unfortunately, with that advertising and that price, it falls short of the mark. Good things first - the location is really very good. Katoomba... More

Had a bad experience when we first checked in. My wife and I stayed overnight celebrating our 12th year wedding anniversary. When we first arrived to check in there was an old couple who were checking in. Waited for about 5 mins (no problems). However, it would have been nice to be acknowledged by the other concierge who was at... More

I had reservations about staying at this property, as I'm just not into the country look and feel. Much prefer modern and contemporary stays. Had it not come highly recommended by friends and family, I wouldn't have! When we pulled up to the property, I thought, oh my, it's so fuddy-duddy! Which it is in a way. Then we met... More

We have just come back from a weekend with two adult children and their partners. Had 2 rooms and a suite. Didn't get much of a look at the kids rooms, but they said they were very comfortable. Our suite was great with absolutely beautiful views from the bedroom. I loved the feel of the Hotel and grounds - just... More

Although I am an Anglicized "Gringo", I have been a regular to the Blue Mountains for the past 20 years and enjoyed my many trips there - especially the hikes and the views. During this time, I have relished many excellent meals/teas in the lobby area and breakfasts in the breakfast restaurant at Lilianfels during the ownership of Orient Express.... More

I stayed here with my partner over a weekend in late April. We booked a pretty cheap deal online through "wotif" and managed to get breakfast included. I highly recommend you get the breakfast package as its very nice! Check in was smooth & fast. Our room was clean & exactly how we pictured it to be. We had a... More

This is my second stay and I have to admit my experience has been consistent both times. The hotel is very grand and the entry although quite small is nice. The rooms are quite small and we booked a Deluxe room which overlooked the garden. It seems the way that the building is designed is that the ceilings are quite... More

We stayed 2 nights over the Anzac Day "long weekend". We are a family of five (4 year old twins and a two year old) plus two adults. This is a review of the hotel from a family perspective. I clarify this as i find needs and wants are different when you travel with young children. I have always loved... More
