“Great apartment hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Stayed for a week and loved it. Very well located, lots to walk to and very close to train stations, buses and monorail. Beautifully renovated hotel, very comfortable and attractive. Kitchen is well appointed and having a washer and dryer in the bathroom was great. The room was spotless and nicely serviced every day. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

“As expected- average.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

I stayed here for 3 nights just after New Year with my boyfriend.

From the time I booked I was expecting average and on arrival that's exactly what it was. The rooms are very basic but also large. You have a large living/dining room, a well equipped kitchen, large bathroom with bath and a small laundry with washing machine and dryer.
Some of the most basic things are missing. The towel rails had fallen off the wall and had not been replaced. The air conditioner was broken so it rattled all night, and the shower curtain was mouldy.....not much attention to detail is taken.

One thing I dislike when traveling is hearing my neighbors tv and their conversations. Mantra unfortunately had this problem.

If you are in Sydney for a week or more and you are not too fussy then I think this would be a good option with washing facilities and a kitchen. Location is also very good.
I wouldn't stay here again.

“Location, Location, Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

If a bed, is a bed, is a bed and you are there for a one night stay then this hotel is good value - not great, not excellent, but good. Rooms are clean and tidy, somewhat nicely outfitted with mod cons but overall the layout is awkward – once again good for an overnighter. I unfortunately spent a full week there and by I had, had enough. The room service menu is as boring as hell. A trip to the dining room provides no improvement on fare or service. As for breakfast, it’s more or less the same every morning Ad nauseam, and I might add, it was the first time in my life that I’m able to give McDonalds a higher rating for a morning serve. Fortunately there is an array of good places within in striking distance. Treat this as your bedroom on-suite with a slightly longer walk to any conveniences and you’ll have nothing to complain about. (Thank God for location.)

Room Tip: All the rooms are pretty much the same so go with the flow

Dear Hamilton H,
Thank you for your recent review of the hotel.
I take on your feedback on the breakfast offerings and have spoken to the breakfast chefs. I often visit the restaurant in the mornings and there are quite a few items on rotation to ensure that it is not the same offerings each day.
A large number of our bookings are for 2 weeks to 3 months and most guests find the accommodation very comfortable and spacious for extended stays due to the oversized apartments and full kitchens and laundries.
I am happy to see that you found the apartment clean and tidy during your week stay.
Thank you again for your feedback. It allows us to constantly improve our product.
We hope to welcome you back in the near future.
Ki nd regards,
Daniel Russell

“Clean and stylish apartments”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

Our apartment was on 15th floor in room 1504/1505 and overlooked Darling Harbour (there was a building between us). George streeet was 2 blocks away, and QVB Shopping centre was practically next door. Excellent location and walked almost everywhere. The 2 bedroomed apartment had an adjoining door between us and the children, and was ideal as they had their own lounge area, bathroom and kitchen. Our room had a kingsize bed behind sliding glass doors to corner it off from the rest of the apartment. It was cleaned every day and seemed newly decorated in silver grey and lime green. The sofa was very comfortable, television huge with lots of channels, the kitchen area well designed and fitted with everything you could possibly need. The cleaning staff were friendly, smiley and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends

Room Tip: High rooms have better views

Dear Dee F,
Many thanks for the recent positive review.
Its great to see that you enjoyed your stay and found our 2 bedroom apartments suitable for your family. The benefits of a dual key 2 bedroom apartment is that it still gives you the privacy of 2 seperate apartments but easily serves as a 2 bedroom when required.
The hotel has been newly refurbished with all rooms receiving new carpet, paint, TV, bed and furniture package so its pleasing to see that you enjoyed the work put in.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
Kind regards,
Daniel Russell

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

This was just a one night stay as we had a function on at Darling Harbour. The hotel was easy to find, although parking is expensive as it is in most inner city hotels. The location was so close to Darling Harbour and the room was very modern, big and clean. We had a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival which was nice and good views. Great value for money and plenty of places to eat dinner/breakfast nearby. Definately would stay again and recommend to others.

Room Tip: Booked on the Mantra website when they had a special.
