Great place to stay Comfortable Beds and well appointed rooms Modern Industrial Style
Very reasonable price for the level of Accommodation

Extremely comfortable and clean. Impressive trendy design

We stay regularly, the staff are always friendly, the rooms are clean. great location. its our home away from home. Being next door to the only drive inn left in NSW is great we offten stay the weekend & goto the drive inn.

In house movies and overall service is great. However, given that we’re going through a pandemic the overall cleanliness of the rooms needs improvement. The first room had stains on the carpet and smelled. The second room offered by the manager had a dirty toilet.

I am a regular visitor to the facility and it is of a high standard.
The rooms are comfortable and well appointed and provides all the facilities required.
Breakfast variety is great and parking is good.
The only issue we had was ringing for room service on Sunday night around 8pm when nobody answered the phone call.
Had to go to reception to make an order.
Generally, a nice place to stay.

Good news first. The staff were excellent and courteous and the service great. I loved the main area with dining, bar and play area. Great place to hang out. The pool area looked great too though it was too cold to use at my stay.
What wasn't so great for me was I didn't like the room. Personally I don't like concrete no matter how hard you try to soften it up. And what is with the huge yellow spot on the ceiling...ick! The beds were very uncomfortable. Don't like memory foam. And my only other complaint would be I wish the bar stayed open longer. Though I was told it stayed open depending on how much money it was making. Shame.
Not sure I'd stay again but I would come for a meal or drinks.

Easy to find, big clean building. It would have been nice to be acknowledged when we walked in rather than just stand and wait, even a nod, smile, or be right with you. It was also obvious the fella who checked us in had somewhere he'd rather be. My phone request for early check in if possible was granted.
The room is a room, its clean and has anything you need for a night stay.
Restaurant in the foyer was expensive and nothing special, my burger was the size of a slider and there should be more budget priced wine, $40 for lunch wine is over the top. Also one bloke serving on a Saturday afternoon is not enough.
A great night sleep in a comfortable clean bed was lovely.

We came here for a work meeting followed with dinner. The meeting room was a great size and the staff were very helpful. Unfortunately the meals took over an hour to get to our table and the staff weren't very helpful. The meal prices were high and the food was ordinary. The hotel looks pretty cool and is nice and trendy on the inside. Not a huge deal of parking however in a convenient location for what we needed it for.

Went here on a RedBalloon experience gifted by some friends. Really funky, open areas with lots of quirky features. Food and drinks were good and staff were lovely. Only annoying things was that we were allocated a 'King room' but it was just two single beds pushed together and you could really feel the middle and there was no kettle in the room, had to pull out the coffee machine to get boiling water.

I’m not really sure why anyone goes to Blacktown but if you’re in the area and need a place to stay this is a pretty good place to try.
The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The bed was big and I had a great nights sleep. There is a small kitchenette with an espresso coffee machine and complementary minibar if you have booked direct with them. The breakfast had a great selection and the coffee machine coffee wasn’t too bad! There are conference rooms here as well and they are well appointed and the setup very professional.

Had many short stays here and it never ceases to disappoint. Customer service is excellent! The breakfast buffet is a bit pricey though. Overall a great experience!

Excellent service, great food. The function room was perfect. The only negative was the manager who had no idea what he was doing and needed assistance to settle our bill which took 10 mins.

Easy check in and check out bar and restaurant in reception area. Rooms are basic but are trendy and all you really need. Beds were so comfy. Nice decor

Right from when you walk in your welcomed by friendly staff and the atmosphere of the restaurant, bar and pool area is exciting. The chefs make an amazing buffet breakfast, you have a choice of everything you could ever want and will leave you full of energy for the day. The bartenders are very skilled in their knowledge of cocktails and I got to try some drinks I've never had before. The rooms were so stylish, spacious, immaculate and comfy. It's in a great location as it's quiet but also has the skyline drive inn and the cricketers arms club next door and the featherdale wildlife sanctuary a short drive away. I would definitely stay here again, wish we could of stayed longer.

Amazing hotel!

Room was beautiful, high ceilings, perfect amenities. Bar in resturant was great. Pool is stunning.

Only letdowns was the breakfast buffet and the fact the hotel shares a road with the drive in. So you get stuck in traffic for over an hour trying to get back your room

The rooms are so funky my wife and I loved it the only thing we did not like was the food and drinks was expensive.
We were not game to use the mini bar even though I book directly and the sign stated if I booked directly the mini bar was free we dared not take any chances.
We stayed as my wife was celebrating her 50th birthday and I could not be happier with your staff and we would like to stay another night in the future. Thank you

We’ve purchsed a drive-in movie + overnight stay from red balloon and it was fantastic. The hotel is a well designed and comfortable place to stay. The rooms are very cute, with all necessities equipment. The breakfast was delicious too, definitely recommended.

We attended here for a friends wedding and it was fine. The room was a bit small but other than that the mini-bar was free for online bookings. They did advertise free Foxtel however it's only about 5 channels which most of them are sports.
The bar staff and other staff were very friendly so that was great and all the facilities were very clean and tidy.
There's not much around the surrounding area but if there was then I'd definitely stay here again.

Love this place. Central, quiet rooms has all you need. Food great, friendly and helpful service. Happily go back again. Also Pool table, swimming pool and fun.

The decor is funky and modern. It is such a clean and well presented motel. The resturant serves delicious meals. The rooms have everything to make the stay comfortable. Free movies! The pool and outdoor area is a lovely place to relax. This was our third stay and we've already booked again.

I loved staying at this extraordinary place, kids loved it too. Worth just booking in for a family holiday! The hotel has plenty of entertainment plus Wet n Wild and a drive in movie centre right next door. The Cricketers Arms has a wonderful not typically pub-like vibe and is also just next door.

Great place to stay, good clean rooms. Family friendly with a good pool, pool table, table tennis and games. We always love to stay here when in town.

The room was very comfortable and almost soundproof - other than Christmas party noise that leaked in through the door but it wasn't too bad. Nice touches in the room, everything we needed in the bathroom (the same toiletries I found on a recent holiday in a 5 star hotel in Noumea!). Breakfast was tasty - I'd only say an egg chef would be the only thing I'd want, which is usually fairly standard in a 4 star hotel. Overall very satisfied and it was a relaxing short break.

Might look like an architectural masterpiece however inside the concrete is cracked, it's filled with cheap plywood furniture. The rooms are very narrow. My room had no working telephone, the safe didn't work. Standard Staples within a hotel suite normal cover two adults for tea and coffee, not here unless you take one sugar and only want two coffees per day.

Staff barely acknowledge guests, unless you're checking in or paying for something otherwise you're treated like a piece of furniture.

The pool is barely a bath, only 1.15metres deep.

A very chill and chic place to bring either family, friends or a loved one to grab dinner and sit and talk. The customer service is absolutely wonderful. All staff members were friendly, polite and quick to serve.

We had a package of Drive-in plus overnight stay at Atura, and I have to say it was fantastic. The hotel is very cool in both senses of the word, and we had everything we wanted. The drive-in was a great change from going to the movies, and we loved being so close to our digs for the night. Plenty of food choices for dinner and breakfast, and sitting out watching the kids playing in the pool over breakfast made it feel like we were on holiday. I'd thoroughly recommend this experience!

Great hotel. Excellent staff. Clean and functional rooms. Terrific meals at restaurant. Highly recommended

Went to Atura as part of a Red Balloon Drive in Movie and Overnight Stay Package. It was so much fun! What a funky and different hotel. So modern and cool. Not to mention the food was fantastic! We had dinner and it was GREAT! Rooms are a bit dark but it just makes it romantic. Thanks for the great stay Atura!

Nice and clean. Good service. Good facilities. A stocked bar and free WIFI.

Really nice rooms, fresh, clean, modern and comfortable. The whole hotel had really nice design features. The parking was ample and free. Friendly helpful staff.

Easiest way to do this review will be to list the things I loved (no particular order):

-Caddy parked out the front
-Super chill layout of the open bar area
-Relaxing vibe
-The staff were accommodating to my early check-in and late checkout request with no fuss or extra charges
-Clean room (yes even the bathroom didn't have water spots)
-Easy to get around accessible room
-Super comfy king size bed
-Wall mounted TV you can adjust to where you want
-Location of hotel (between drive in and pub)
-The friendliness and professional staff who clearly enjoy their work (one actually told me😀)
-Free WiFi, pool use, pool table and arcade
Bonus free mini bar
Only downside:
I was there for one night and couldn't experience it all.

Overall, there is a lot more I can say but I'm pretty certain I already sound like I'm a fan girl. 😂 I definitely will be back but will also keep an eye out for other Atura hotels. I've lost count with how many hotels I've stayed at over the years and can honestly say this is the only one that has ticked all boxes for me.

Celebrated my brother's birthday there at breakfast. The manager and staff are awesome. It's a very friendly environment. And their breakfast buffet is scrumptious! Love it!

Great place to stay staff are friendly and helpful. Good food cold beer clean modern rooms. What more could you want.

Had breakfast. Buffet was well stocked and food was good. Staff didn't really acknowledge. But didn't need any help anyway.

Hands down winner for the BEST Cheeseburger! Lovely Staff. Can't wait for Summer so can bring the kids to indulge in Wet 'n' Wild next door.

The first time I came to Atura I loved it so much I had to come back and will continue coming back in the future. Amazing customers service, Amazing Value, Amazing Food! Amazing overall experience!

We had such a fun and comfortable stay. The room was great and really funky. The movie selection on the tv was brilliant and the food in the restaurant was super tasty. Thanks to all the very friendly staff who made our stay a very pleasant one.

Very nice hotel, bar and restaurant very stylish and the food was decent. The menu is failry limited but everything on the menu is great (we had a group booking and everyone liked their meals). Friendly staff, clean and modern. Didn't stay at the hotel so can't comment on rooms, but the setting is nice and the hotel looks modern and stylish, pool area looked very inviting despite the cold weather.

Enjoyed my stay, staff were first class, room was spotless and functional and would recommend the hotel and would stay again.
Only downside was Bed faces the door and need more than one tea bag per room.

A great hotel and place to hang out. Pool, ping pong table and pool table available. Great service and friendly staff. Would rate this 5 stars if they had vegetarian meal options.

Rooms were nice.food was nice. Pool was nice.billiards was always being played. Well priced drinks

Great modern funky hotel. Impressed with the rooms and modern decor. Would definitely stay again.

Went to the Sunday markets. Best flea market in Sydney. The flavors, the characters, the smells - can't find them anywhere else, it's priceless!

We had a really nice overnight stay at Atura (it is a really nice modern hotel). The movie theatre was really fun. I read the other reviews about the hotel not having open windows and rude staff but our experience was wonderful. The a/c provided a really nice temperature in the room, the breakfast buffet was varied and delicious and the receptionist (I wish I took down her name) was friendly and a credit to the motel.

Service was fantastic. The room was really nice, but it would be great if the window could open as it gets claustrophobic and the aircon gets cold. We were very impressed with the in room entertainment with the new movies. The location is quiet but not fantastic in terms of being near to anything. It was great to be next to the drive in cinema though. We really liked the service. We were not impressed by the buffet breakfast, some things were flavoured oddly and the waffles and pastries were really dry.

On business and a shared room I asked for an additional pillow as the room was short. This did not eventuate, but I was told how difficult it was!On Saturday we ate Conference food and I ended up unwell and unable to attend the dinner. Later I tried to order some food on room service and was told " Sorry, we dont have room service!. Nothing nearby delivers! Two small milk capsules and just the basics in the room. Reception was basic and no customer service focus. Barramundi main was the size of an entree the first night. The basics are here but I wouldn't use it for a holiday! Disappointed!

Nice accomadation, great food, plenty of free parking, easy to get in and out. Friendly good service. Highly recommended

All in all, a good spot for an overnight stay if you need to be in Western Sydney. I have stayed here several times and generally the service is very good. However, the chef needs to learn how to cook fish! On my most recent stay I chose the barramundi (at $39 from memory) which was delivered to the table only half cooked! The problem was quickly rectified with another serving along with a complimentary glass of wine, so no complaints there, but it should not have happened in the first place. I suspect it was cooked from frozen. I understand the need to keep the fish frozen but it should have been properly thawed first. If it was not cooked from frozen, then there is absolutely no excuse! This is not the first time I have been served half cooked fish. It happened at a restaurant on the Gold Coast once. On that occasion the waitress wanted to argue about it! There have been other cases and it is becoming all too frequent. It seems many Australian restaurants and cafes have no idea how to cook fish other than deep fry it. Perhaps they should look to the Asian cuisines to see how to cook it properly!

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was lovely and the hotel had a cool look. Would definitely stay again!

Love the place. I come down from Coffs Harbour for training and have stayed here before for work and won't go anywhere else. The atmosphere is great. Only one star off 5 due to house keeping but I'd happily give 4.5 if I could.

Great little hotel that you don't expect to find in western Sydney. Quirky design and good rooms with free movies. Staff were very helpful and rooms were clean. Great free parking as well.

Amazing food, a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Staff were exceptional. I never knew it was there and really recommend it. Fantastic experience

We arrived early after calling in from the airport. The early check-in was fuss free and quick. The room is very clean and quite adequate. Would have appreciated a room with a view! Appreciated the fuss free parking.
Didn't use many of the facilities as we were out most of the time but the comfortable bed was a relief to crash out on after a tiring day!
The friendly and helpful staff are a big plus point. Will certainly come again

My stay here was incredible. The whole aesthetic of the hotel was amazing. I strongly recommend staying here, even if it's just for a weekend getaway.

The accommodation is great, excellent location and I really like the quirkiness of the Atura. I always choose to stay at the Atura rather then other properties.

The rooms and facilities are good, the beds are very comfortable which is even better.

One area that needs to improve is the restaurant. The food is not great, the service is very slow and the price is a bit much for what (little) you get. One night we waited 2 hours for our food (that was just the entree), admittedly you very busy that night but perhaps a pre-warning when we ordered that there would be a delay would have helped. So I go out, rather then eat your restaurant for all meals. If you changed up the menu, priced it to reflect the value of what is being served and got a talented chef in to make it happen - I'm sure you would see improved revenue & happier guests choosing to eat at your hotel.

Staff friendly, although nobody ever gave their names. The food was okay although expensive for what was on offer.
The overall decor is industrial... concrete walls, floors and very, very high ceilings, with splashes of bright paint and 50s themed posters. It was not particularly pleasant to have to walk down factory-like haalls halls by public toilets to get to the room.
The rooms were small, poorly lit, but adequate. The bed was not particularly comfortable and the furniture but the bathroom was very well appointed and there were some nice extras, like a coffee pod machine.

Check in was slow with only 1 person at the desk The room itself however was excellent. The roadhouse restaurant serves great food with generous portions . Whilst catering to families there is really no excuse for children running around the restaurant. Staff need to control this better. Breakfast has a good range and good quality food.Bar and restaurant staff courteous professional,polite and know how to mix cocktails.Recommend

I stayed on Saturday 30 July with my family (2 adults, 4 children) in 2 interconnected rooms, my sisters and another couple also stayed with their families. Everyone had a great stay. Beds were comfortable, rooms were spacious, free wifi and movies were great, breakfast was a treat. Overall a great stay.

Rooms are comfortable, including features like decent WiFi, free on demand movies and Foxtel is a welcome bonus. If eating in-house, try the pork chop!
They have a James Squires happy hour from 4-6pm also.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Atura. This was the first time that we have ever stayed and it definitely won't be the last. Atura has a great atmosphere and very modern. Only down fall was the pool was too warm haha we were there on a 44 degree day and pool was not much cooler.
All in all, Perfect!

We regularly stay at Atura and have had very few issues. The rooms are usually very well cleaned, comfortable and we especially love the free wi-fi and in room movies. The only suggestion I would make is to the blinds as when we are away I like to sleep late and the blinds that are currently there allow a lot of light in. That is just me being fussy though! We are almost always really happy with our stays with Atura Blacktown.

Very pleased with our overall experience. The staff were friendly from check-in to check-out. The room was well presented, very clean and with all amenities we would have expected including a bigger than usual mini-bar, even down to sunscreen. The bed was extremely comfortable and huge (king size). The only minor issue was the shower head which provided a very narrow spray however this is just being a little finicky as it was different to my shower at home which is a rainfall style, providing a little more coverage. We ate in the restaurant twice and once at the Cricketers Arms Hotel next door where we were able to charge the cost of the meal to our account. All meals were very good with the Cricketers Arms meal slightly more substantial as it was pub style. The meals at Atura were excellent with a good variety available. We had breakfast each day with, again, a very good variety from cereals, fruit, yoghurt, pastries to hot meals of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, potato rosti and ample quantities of toast and jams - well worth the additional money, particularly if paid for prior to the stay.

This is our 2nd stay here in 2015. We stayed overnight with 2 kids (1 infant). We were able to check-in early and also had a late check-out as Rydges Priority Club members. The service from the front desk was fantastic - very responsive. The BYO parents package is great value as $40 F&B credit covered our (pre-ordered) breakfast. A portacot was set up in the room when we arrived and the room has lots of great amenities (ie. microwave & utensils, bowls etc, free in house movies, free wifi). The drawbacks - the lock on our room was not working, but we only worked this out after we had settled ourselves in and were leaving for the afternoon. Front desk was right onto it. Unfortunately, couldn't be resolved as long weekend, so we had to move to another room. This was actioned swiftly, but was a bit of a pain as we had to move lots of stuff and the kids were grumpy/tired. Luckily, we only had to move across the hall. The breakfast was good - well cooked and a fair bit of variety. I dislike the fact that the carpark is not undercover, but it was free. Very convenient to Wet'n'Wild, but you still need to drive there. Rooms seemed pretty clean, no road noise, minimal ambient noise in hotel. Needs more towel hooks (including for handtowels) in bathroom.

There is no indication that if you book for 2 adults and 2 children that the kids get to sleep on a very flimsy double sofa bed. Maybe OK if you have 2 little kids but my 12 year olds are adult size and this bed was inadequate. Spoilt what was otherwise a good location.
