This pub was actually pretty cool, especially considering some of the other pubs that I have visited earlier in the day in this so called tourist spot known as the Blue Mountains. The first thing that stood out was the beautiful old building that the pub happens to be located in, but then again, I suspect that this old building has always been a pub. The thing that really grabbed me though, other than the beer garden of course, was the selection of beers on tap, something that I hadn't seen much of earlier in the day. As such, I pretty much fell in love with this place. read more

Food was super greasy, service poor. Not sure about the stay, but would definitely not recommend eating here. Consider going into the town for a better bite. read more

Loved our meals at the restaurant at The Grand View Hotel. This is a small and friendly bistro - but far better food than your run-of-the-mill bistro - this is great restaurant quality! My main was chicken wrapped in sage and prosciutto and my husband had the salt and pepper squid with roasted capsicum sauce and asian salad. Followed by Raspberry panna cotta. The hotel rooms are scrupulously clean and the bathrooms too .... There is a choice of ensuite and non-ensuite rooms on offer. The staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommended. read more

I'm giving this three stars because it is what it is, i.e. it's not five star accommodation, but it does the job. It's an old school pub with a bistro and beer garden, and rooms upstairs. It reminded me a lot of a place I stayed at in New Zealand in the tiny township of Ross, except that was way more idiosyncratic. When booking the room I'd requested one away from the roads (the hotel is on a corner) and they obliged, although it meant we were overlooking the beer garden which (being a Saturday night) had a few merry and loud punters. The floor in the corridor upstairs is unbelievably creaky; I was glad our room was up the end because otherwise we'd probably have been kept awake by other guests heading for the bathrooms. The room itself was very basic - queen bed, cupboard, and a sink; shared bathroom (toilets and showers) down the hall, with separate ones for gents and ladies. There is a communal room with a tv and tea-making supplies, and in the morning there's a toaster put out along with breakfast supplies (bread, museli, cereal). We didn't realise that the rooms didn't have facilities to allow for food prep (for example, no microwave) and had bought a few things at the Coles in Katoomba. We asked at the bistro if we could use the kitchen to heat up some soup, but they were getting slammed and understandably they weren't able to let us use it until 9pm so we improvised. But it was nice that they were prepared to let us do that given that they had a restaurant on-site. (The same staff member checked us in and chatted with us at the bistro, and she was lovely.) read more
