We have stayed here before 2 years ago with some friends but this time have left feeling very disappointed The dust is out of control and needs a deep clean. I am quite a healthy person but over night I felt my throat being really irritated and closed up and my boys also coughing throughout the night. It is not a viable place for anyone to stay We were meant to stay for 2 nights but only ended up staying 1. Left first thing after the first night. We thought about staying the second night but when we were out still felt the after effects and just did not feel comfortable coming back to sleep another night so we just left We have contacted management directly and not heard anything back :( poor experience overall

Good location, walking distance to Echo point. Family room was good size (1 queen, 2 singles) and included a table with 4 chairs. Decor is quite dated and could do with a spruce up, but many Katoomba hotels are similar. Bathroom clean and good shower. Fridge needed a defrost and clean.

The room was ready earlier than check-in time. Access to our 2nd level room was via exterior stairs. We were unable to get an Uber or a taxi from the site, so we used the Explorer bus, which we caught at Echo Point, several blocks away, to get our luggage to and from the train station.

3 Explorers Motel is our preferred stay in Katoomba .... and have stayed many times. You will note COUNCIL PAID PARKING everywhere .... but just park your car in 3 Explorers for FREE.... and walk down to 3 Sisters ... or round to Scenic World ... or up to RSL, Canton Palace, Carrington Hotel et all. Local Bus stop right out front ... great if you walk cliff top walk to Leura .... and catch train then bus back. 3 Explorers Motel rooms nice and cosy ... including Heated Bed warmers and great A/C heating. Hot shower with great pressure. Big TICK from us .... again !!!

We couldn't have asked for a better location! Very close to the Three Sisters viewpoint, and other beautiful views and trails. We just had a little difficulty adjusting the hot water in the bathroom. Room was spacious and comfortable with fridge, microwave, coffee and tea.

Charming little apartment very close to the sights, like Echo Point, the night walk, and the eastern departure from Scenic World. It’s a bit further to downtown but it’s right on the bus line and not a bad walk in any case. It took a bit to figure out the heater but once we did it worked fine; the beds had heaters which the kids loved!
