We have just returned from a weekend at the Hydro and had read the reviews on TA before going so had managed our expectations. The hotel is great from a heritage perspective, it is nice to reminisce what it was like in it's glory days. The room was what I would rate as average - clean, neat but nothing above... More

My partner and I had high expectations of the Hydro Majestic in the Blue Mountains with most people saying "Ooohh, that's meant to be lovely!" which turned out to be so far from the truth!!! On the outside, it looked like it had historical character but had had its day. On the inside, the room was a box, the shower... More

I would not recommend this hotel to any of my friends as we had a nightmare of a time there! We went up for the June long weekend as it was our wedding anniversary. We booked a Deluxe Room as part of a Romantic Package. We arrived at the hotel and had to queue for 20 minutes to get to... More

Some of the prior reviews are a little harsh I think. Yes, the place is starting to run down a bit and the art deco refit a few years ago has aged pretty quickly.

The standard room may be ok for just an overnight stay with a small overnight bag. However we were travelling around Australia, New Zealand and Fiji so... More

Well, my partner and I thought we would treat ourselves to a New Years Eve meal and a night at the Hydro after a really hectic 2006. Also it was our tenth anniversary, so was meant to be a special occassion. Bad first impression, as it took over half an hour to check in. The reception guy was very polite,... More

Ever since I was young I'd wanted to stay at this hotel. After the experience my friend and I had, I'm now going to stay as far away from it as I can. Where to start ? Unfortunately, for a property with such promise it is sadly not being maintained. The first room we were shown had paint peeling off... More
