We organized two deluxe rooms for friends and ourselves. We specifically choose the hotel as it advertised full laundry facilities and TV/DVD. We liked the room, however there was no washing machine. It has a laundry room and drier, just no machine. The staff informed us you had to "request" a washing machine and not all rooms have them. Also,... more

I stayed with two friends at Mantra on Kent on a last minute trip to Sydney. I actually made a reservation just the day before our arrival, and the confirmation for our one-bedroom apartment was quick and I was pleased to find out that they had a special promotion through their website-you stay three nights and pay for two only.... more

We recently spent 4 nights at Mantra on Kent in a studio apartment and found it to be in a fantastic location, close to Darling Harbour and the City centre. The room was well equiped with a kitchen and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the noise you can hear in the hallways,... more

It is clean and tidy and it's proximity to Darling Harbour, the Queen Victoria Building and the railway station make it a good, reliable venue. Most rooms are apartments, some with balconies. There are no views of note as the... more

My wife and I stayed here for four nights in early September 2008. We had a studio apartment on the 18th floor with a partial view of Darling Harbour. The studio was quite spacious and very clean with fairly basic furnishings. The building appears to have been partially refurbished as some areas, notably the shower, showed evidence of age.

Stayed in this hotel for 1 night in a 1 bedroom apartment. Room was a nice size. Got the deal with a $25 fuel voucher. This was good value as it was only $10 more expensive and voucher is as good as cash at caltex service stations. It also included a 12 pm checkout which came in handy. Room was... more

We were two adults and three teenagers and had linked rooms (2004 and 2005). Check in and check out were efficient and the staff seemed very pleasant and helpful. Both of our rooms had self catering facilities and were clean with everything working. Perfect for a family of 4-5. Location is good for either Darling Harbour or the CBD. Short... more

We stayed in this place for 5 nights during our year long round the world trip. It is in an excellent location close to tdarling Harbour (5 mins walk) and the CBD, It has recently been taken over by Mantra, so maybe we got a special deal at 129 AUD per night but the roon/suite was FANTASTIC! We had a... more
