Echoes Boutique Hotel & Restaurant

We stayed at Echoes for four nights and had a wonderful time. The room was as expected, clean and spacious, with a very good bed. Besides that, employees were very friendly. They helped us with everything, all of them took time for a chat and were interested in our trips around Katoomba. Thanks you so much, guys! Best wishes, Piet and Thea, The Netherlands

Thank you for providing best experience at Blue Mountains and taking care of us!! Our room had direct access to garden area which is very convenient. This place is a breathe of fresh air if you are tired of city life. Nice, quiet and close to nature!! Staff members are very friendly and accommodating. The highlight would be you can use recreational facilities at their sister property next door, Lilianfels. Its simply getting experience of staying in 2 hotels.

Stayed in this beautiful property for 1 night with my husband. We loved the room, service and not to forget the magnificent view from our room. Glad that we got a room with balcony, the staff members are amazing. We dined in the restaurant located just on top floor of the hotel which is very convenient. Very comfortable, cozy place. We will definitely be back in summer!! Thank you.

A boutique hotel is a type of hotel that feels small, intimate, and quaint. It typically has less than 100 rooms and offers guests an ultra-personal service. Or a least that is the generally accepted definition. Sadly Echoes whilst meeting the room limitation misses the “ultra-personal” by a country mile, an Aussie country mile at that. We had two rooms, both on the lower ground, one with a double bed and one with a double and a put-up bed, they couldn’t manage a twin. Both were somewhat tatty, indeed someone came into our room whilst we were out and re-glued the architrave back onto the wall. The in house restaurant is allegedly fine dining but we didn’t try it as the menu choices were too limited for our 16 year old. Oh, and don’t expect to get a drink at the end of a hard days touristing because the bar doesn’t start service until 17:30. If you want to watch a sunset with a glass of wine you’ll have to go to the bottle-o in town.

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights with breakfast included and paid $1,200. The location of this hotel is awesome, it's only a few mins away from the 3 sisters and some local hikes. The room itself we found wasn't clean, finding rubbish next to our bed, rods missing from the bathroom including some black stains in the grout, the rain shower also looked a little unclean too....and the bed was definitely not queen as advertised but a twin size and was VERY uncomfortable, half the bed was slanting down. We did ask for this to be fixed, although there was some improvement the 2nd night, we didn't sleep well again for the 2nd night which meant making the most of our trip was difficult because we were so tired. I am so surprised that for a supposed luxury stay that has such wonky beds. I've stayed at Toronga Zoo in Sydney in a tent that had more comfortable beds than this place. The view is amazing from the room looking over the Valley but if you step outside, there's no privacy whatsoever as you can see onto your neighbours balcony and room, so we kept our curtains closed for the most part. The restaurant was excellent but the waiting staff were not very good at explaining the menu or how the courses were going to work. For a hatted restaurant I was surprised, perhaps they were low on hospitality staff. The food and wine was excellent and very much enjoyed it, you can also enjoy a drink in their lounge area in front of the fire which had a very good Ambien. The receptionist was the saving grace of the service who was very accommodating and friendly, she was an absolute super star grabbing us coffee from next door when the cafe was closed. All in all, the experience was OK, it definitely wasn't worth the $1,200 we paid, when we next return to the Blue Mountains, I would stay elsewhere for that kind of money.

We had a lovely birthday party at Echoes yesterday, thank you so much for your wonderful service and hospitality. The food was delicious, views glorious, staff super friendly and efficient, thank you so very much Sujan and team. We all loved it.
