Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Ardour Lilianfels Blue Mountains from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Lilianfels Resort And Spa is often praised for its beautiful grounds and convenient location within walking distance to the iconic Three Sisters. Guests frequently enjoy the spacious rooms, equipped with both a shower and a separate bath, and appreciate the inclusion of a fridge and kettles. While the resort offers both indoor and outdoor pools and a games room featuring a full-size snooker table, some guests have found the breakfast service to be quite busy. Nevertheless, the hotel provides underground and overground parking, making it a practical choice for exploring the nearby Echo Point.

i found ample parking. the food was reasonably priced, though i used my car to explore local options. the grounds and public areas were excellent. i especially liked the beautiful gardens and took short strolls each morning.

underwhelming stay

unhelpful staff broken charger
The location is close to lookouts. That much is true.
The staff at the front desk seemed less than helpful. the fire alarm decided to wake us up at an ungodly hour two mornings running. It seems an apology was too much to ask. to top it off, the electric car charger was out of commission. It made me question the definition of luxury.
