Stayed for six nights (2x3 nights) here at beginning and end of four weeks in Australia. On both visits we had a suite with balcony on 5th floor facing the sea. Rooms are large and clean, the staff couldn't do enough for us, excellent service. Small bar in the large, airy reception area. We did not eat in the hotel,... more

the Mantra on the Esplanade is a beautiful modern spa hotel in a great position near the sea. The rooms on the front have a beautiful view of the sea. We chose a studio apartment with kitchen, it was big with all the comforts and a sliding door separated the living room from the bedroom. Unfortunately it was on the... more

the room was clean and spacious, but ageing and in some respects, in need of a makeover. my main gripe was with the service. they were unable to immediately confirm that the room had been paid for and tried to charge it again to my personal card. misunderstandings are understandable, but i was unimpressed with how they handled it, bordering... more

This place was a nice surprise. A cut above the usual hotel. We expected to be in "hotel rooms" looking back over the town, but were delighted to find we had 1 bedroom apartments with ocean views. These apartments were spacious, mine is exactly like the first lot of photos another reviewer has put up. Everything worked, except there's a... more

Facilities in the rooms are good, but slightly dated now and probably need upgrading. However, the service was poor. We could not check in... more

I stayed here for the first time recently while travelling on business and was appalled by the level of service I received, particularly when it came to food and beverage. I returned to my room at 8.30 one evening to be told the kitchen was closed because the oven wasn't working, when I called back ten minutes later I was... more

I booked this hotel as a standby rate just before we departed for Darwin and requested an early checkin. Upon arrival our room wasn't ready and they offered to store our bags while we explored the city. No problems. Upon our return our room still wasn't ready and we were offered a free bottle of wine as compensation. As we... more

All great at the Mantra, apart from they recommended Avis Car rental. The Darwin Avis has got to be the worst in the world. They have very very agressive staff and also they steal from your credit card once you have left. Darren is very aggressive I almost called the Police. USE HERTZ more
