We visited Lilianfels earlier in the year and were somewhat disappointed by numbers of issues. My wife was keen to give them another try though I must confess I wasn't as keen. Nevertheless we visited last weekend and were pleasantly surprised. This time round there were numbers of improvements. We had no issues with poor service at the front desk... More

We have stayed several times previously and love the classic style of the hotel. I agree it may be looking a little dated but feel overall the style suits the period charm of Lilianfels. We dined at Darleys as part of a large group and could not fault the standard of food or service there. Our bed was extremely comfortable... More

I must admit that after reading some of the negative reviews that I was apprehensive about my decision to stay for 3 nights. I decided to book due to the location being walking distance to Three Sisters to see them lit up late at night and for early sunrise. I couldn't have been more happy staying at this lovely, quaint...

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
