Stayed at the Mantra recently on business, and it was OK, with the best part being the great service by the reception desk staff. The breakfast in the restaurant downstairs was pretty ordinary, but the room service breakfast was pretty good - much better value. The main problem however was ordering room service. I ordered a glass of white and... more

Stayed here overnight as we were attending a NRL match at Canberra Stadium. Room was very spacious, with just two of us in there we felt a bit small! Staff very friendly, we checked in late at night. Carpark is very confined and a bit scary, we were lucky to get the very last space. Booked online, breakfast was included... more

I travel to Canberra often on business and stayed at the Mantra for most of April. I stayed in four different rooms on various floors and always found them in good repair with large bathrooms and sitting rooms. The smaller rooms have very limited luggage space so unless you are on your own make sure you get one of the... more

An apartment property in a good location close to the city centre, with reasonable facilities in the rooms, but definitely in need of refurbishment. Room cleaning poor at best, Car Parking pretty much a disaster if you're out after 6pm as the parking fills up & the only other option is to park on the street behind the hotel. We... more

Stayed in 1 bedroom apartment with the rate including parking and breakfast, although had to remind checkin of the free parking as they were planning to charge me. It is possible for it to be full, in which case you have to park in the side streets. The apartment was big, and had a fully equipped kitchen, separate dining/living room,... more

Front desk staff were lovely, and the breakfast staff managed to be pretty cheery for a Sunday morning. Breakfast itself was good, not fantastic, but hey it was free, and... more

Getting a great deal off the net which included parking (normally $12 per day) and a buffet breakfast it was great value for money. We were upgraded to a spacious one bedroom apartment which meant one queen size bed, I had requested twin beds as I was travelling with a girl friend, I slept on a rollaway bed, delivered and... more

Mantra was quite unexpectedly pleasant. Thought it would be expensive, but it wasn't at all. Stayed in queenbed apartment, it had all the amenties a person can need. Clean, nice cozy interiors. And over looking balcony to the northbourne ave. We also had a buffet breakfast included with our room and it was a good thing too. I found it... more

Spent 3 nights in February 2009 at Mantra (formerly Saville) in Canberra on business. Room was fantastic - 3 room suite (bed/bath/kit/lounge) rooms were large with large balcony and new washer and dryer in laundry. Excellent air-con, comfortable bed and super black-out curtains. Room was very well sound-proofed. Hotel is well located, close to Civic but without the night noise... more
