Only stayed one night, our room was spacious and comfortable. Clean room and clean bathroom. Very quiet. Alas no lift, so needed to go up 2 flights of stairs to the first floor, room 304. We also had the continental breakfast which was very satisfying offering cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast and pastries along with tea and coffee. Close to Scenic World and Katoomba main st. Friendly staff. Enjoyed our stay.

Palais Royale is well placed for a stay in the Blue Mountains. Katoomba main street with a good choice of shops and restaurants / cafes is a short walk away ( 3 minutes). The hotel itself is an historic building in the town. It has lots of original features . Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The en suite has a bath / shower in the style of the original fittings. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant wasnt open in the evening at our time if stay so we ate out in the town at one of the nearby restaurants. A nice place and comfortable for our stay.

This property was real gem...gorgeous well appointed room on the ground floor, dining options more than sufficient with a super meal freshly prepared...loved it. All the staff were welcoming and attentive. For an overnight stay or several nights, this hotel offers guests a very affordable break away. Thank you!

Overall it was very good. Room 206 needs shower taps fixed as they drip. Also needs more body wash as there was none in the container.

Really enjoy those night here. Room is Clean and comfortable.
Staff are nice and helpful.
Next to the main street and bus stop.
Not far to go to look out.
