Lovely central position, noisy at weekend but it is a pub. On a positive it is very clean and staff are very friendly
Pros:

Central to Blackheath - very clean

Cons:

Showers are terrible- hot water takes a long time and difficult to mix with cold

Far too much noise from trains and lorries
Pros:

The hotel is lovely and in a good location

Cons:

The room was extremely noisy (lorries and trains passing by, honking their horns at all hours and making a noise like an airport). The bed, on castors, couldn’t be locked in place. The room was so small that I couldn’t put my open suitcase anywhere other than on the bed.

Goed verblijf
Pros:

Geweldig verblijf gehad bij Gardners Inn. De kamer is prima, niet bijzonder maar wel degelijk. Ik had een kamer met gedeelde badkamer, deze voorzieningen waren prima. Onwijs mooie avonden meegemaakt in de Pub op de begane grond met vooral lokale bezoekers, andere reizigers en het personeel. Onvergetelijk verblijf.

Cons:

Voor een redelijk oude kamer zonder badkamer was het toch nog relatief prijzig.

We will be back again, thank you.
Pros:

The staff were lovely and accommodating, food was amazing and the overall feel was warm, inviting and nostalgic historical feel. Not the typical old cold pub stay feel some may envision when staying in a hotel, our family found it very family friendly, clean, comfortable and accommodating and would recommend and stay again.

Cons:

Our first night had some rain and strong winds resulting in the window rattling throughout night and that accompanied by the pigeons on the roof were a little annoying but very minor in the overall experience and definitely not enough to deter us from booking in the future.

Highly recommended for accommodation and entertainment.
Pros:

The location was perfect The room was exceptionally clean and tidy. Mandy is such a beautiful staff member. Forever grateful 🙌🙏
I also want to thank the bartender who addressed a banging noise outside my room at 2am in the morning. It turned out that because it was a very windy night, the wind was causing the window to rattle.
Thank you so much!!

Great vibes, great time meeting the locals. Thank you Gardners Inn 🙌💖

Cons:

The dead pigeon outside my window and the pigeon who nearly flew in to my head.

Ideal location for the Blue Mountains
Pros:

Location was ideal for my travel plans. The hotel was located opposite the town station and easy to walk to. The staff made the check-in easy.

Cons:

My room was facing the main road and was loud enough to disturb sleep. Also the trains would come by frequently and blow their horns. Not in the control of the hotel - but worth noting if you need sleep before an active day.

Pros:

Polite and friendly staff, lovely pub downstairs with scrumptious food. Will definitely have the lamb steak again.

Cons:

Room was tiny and a bit dated. Windows rattling throughout the night wasn't ideal. Okay for a night's stay.
