We booked two nights at this hotel sight (and review) unseen based on a recommendation from someone we met it Sydney. The location is perfect as it is next to the train station but that is it. We had a difficult time even finding the lobby because there is no obvious front entrance. Wen we did find it there was... More

My Aunty use to have this Hotel 30myears ago and it was so majestic and beautiful, my cousins were brought up there and it had a real family atmosphere. We went to Hotel Gearin this week as my Aunty has died. She would be so disappointed, it is smelt terrible nothing from the smells of years ago, it is run... More

We ended up staying 1 night at Gearin during the Easter holiday, because every other place in Katoomba was booked. The rooms are substandard (that's an understatement), the service is horrible and the whole environment is just disgusting. My room smelled of mould/fungi/smoke, the sheets were not clean, the extra blanket was from 1965 and probably never washed. There's a... More

I love the food at this hotel. I haven't seen the rooms but i have been in the lounge whereall the food is served. They have great shows and entertainment.

Don't walk, run in the other direction!! I booked for two nights, calling in advance three times for a room with an ensuite. On arrival, the bar tender had no idea about anything but taking my money. I inspected the room only to find no ensuite. There were two broken TV's on the ground and everything was sticky. It looked... More

Before arriving, I had requested a single room and been quite clear about this over the phone, however I was booked into a room with two beds instead (thankfully, nobody booked into that second bed). But... More

We were really looking forward to enjoying an evening at the Gearin but found the service and standards to be of extremely poor quality and left much earlier than we'd planned. I had a local gulp his wine down, cough and spit it all over the bar and me at about 7pm on a Saturday night. Disgusting! His mates laughed... More

We went to the Blue Mountains for the first time so we were really excited about our weekend. That was until we arrived at Hotel Gearin. The hotel check in isn't a check in at all, it's actually a bar. The service is the worst we've ever seen. In the words of the bartender "My bar is more important to... More

When booking a room and giving out my credit card details as that is what they required at the time of booking. I found that the next day from my bank that I had fraud on my credit card. I had then called the hotel up and was told that there was no booking that existed under my name (so... More
