I did not like the fact that they were not doing recycling at the Mantra. All rubbish just went in to red bins. Pretty disappointing in this day and age. Everything else was fine.

Simple and clean... ish
An acceptably clean room although some rubbish from previous guests was left in the room. No room service and unable to request a bucket of ice for our room. Not bad overall, but could be better.

I was pretty disappointed with my stay. I spontaneously booked a room for my four year old son and I and another for my sister. The smell when I first walked into my room was so overwhelming of damp and I was lucky enough to have a view of all the paint cans and Reno rubbish. I asked to have my room changed and they said they had one more available and I moved all our stuff to the room and it was only slightly better. Still stunk of damp and I had to keep our doors open to try and air it all out, which didn’t work. For nearly $400 a night I expected better.

The pool was good , however a damp odour in the room was not pleasant. Noisy room at the rear of the property. The room was well appointed but bites from bugs in the couch.

The property was clean and convenient. The reception staff were very helpful. However, I would say the cleaning staff were not mindful. The first night, we arrived in the middle of the night. There were no blankets, and our first night was freezing, not a good impression or a good start to our week stay. (I also know we were not the only customers who didn't have blankets on a freezing night. Yes the reception staff were very helpful the next day

Ageing but good!
This is an ageing hotel in need of updating in some of the rooms - old mirrors, bath over shower, old taps, etc - however the exterior was having a face lift whilst we were there so maybe some work ahead on the interior. Having said that, the staff were great and extremely helpful, the view was fabulous and the hotel very well located. We would go back again.
