Affordable, comfortable and lovely staff.

Our stay at Sky Rider exceeded our expectations. Not only was it affordable but the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Our accommodation was roomy and the bed very comfortable.It was a bit of a walk into town and to the railway station, about 25mins which we didn't mind. So much to see and do in the area. Loved our stay.

Great stay in Katoomba

Great friendly service at an affordable pricepoint
Christine, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed three nights and at a budget price the accommodation was very good. The bedroom was large and most importantly very clean, towels are in need of replacing. Our room included a microwave and kettle , plates and utensils so we were able to reheat food and eat in…it’s a shame there is no dinning room as I would have enjoyed getting out breakfast at our accommodation. Would I stay there again or recommend it to my friends? my response is YES, it’s an old fashioned motel at an affordable price with very clean and comfortable beds.
