Hearty Center Motel

5/5 – More Than We Expected! We stayed at the Hearty Center Motel in Katoomba from July 12 to 13 and absolutely loved it. We booked a standard room and were impressed from the moment we arrived. The attention to detail and cleanliness were top-notch, and everything in the room felt thoughtfully arranged and well-equipped. One of the highlights for us was the massage chair – such a relaxing touch after a day of exploring. The room was quiet and cozy, and the shared bathroom, although not private, was always clean and available whenever we needed it. The kitchen was fully equipped and clean. The location is perfect – just a short walk to Coles, cafes, restaurants, and all the main attractions in Katoomba. It’s also a great base if you're planning to visit Blue Mountains National Park. The staff were kind and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. For the price, this place was an incredible value. We had an amazing weekend, and this motel exceeded all our expectations. Definitely coming back and recommending it to others!

Spotlessly clean, friendly helpful staff it has the feel of a quiet retreat , very comfortable beds with hot and cold modern sinks in the rooms white yet colourful linen well ventilated room's cosy older style bathrooms but the cleanliness is 5 star generous shower heads for a refreshing recharge after any activity. There is a modern guest kitchen and dining facilities for all fridges microwave toaster coffee tea etc a sort of semi hostel/hotel euro feel set up only with fringe benefits. Not your average, quaint and above average eco hidden gem not super luxurious but great for groups or solo travellers or families with competitive to budget rates far above youth hostels in many ways different but good. Decent respectable worthy of your patronage.

Loved awesome hospitality and genuine staff who have gone above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. For me cleanliness is extremely important and they have delivered on that, crispy clean sheets and clean bathrooms. They have complementary massage chairs available in most rooms, and there are two more in the common area. This is not a fancy hotel with all the luxuries but a safe, clean accommodation that feels like home. We have also learned sooo much about our health by having a consultation with Thu, she is genuine and extremely knowledgeable. It’s rare to meet such a person who’s intention is sooo pure, you can clearly see her life goal is to help people heal and she goes well beyond her job description.

Hotel is absolutely lovely and has a character! Bed was extremely comfortable, I had very effective massage chair in my room which was very useful after a long day of hiking. Shower was amazing and hotel was super quiet. I appreciate that I was allowed to leave my luggage in the hotel after my check-out so I could do some hiking before my bus. Hotel also has kitchen free to use and free filtered water for drinking. Kettle and sink in the room are very handy aswell. I could not be more happy about my stay!

Nice and quiet location, staff were friendly and supportive. I like the option to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee. The massage chair in the room was great. Facilities have a sauna, which can be booked and paid for separately.
