“Friendly, Clean & Tidy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

We stayed at this hotel in late 2011. I rang the hotel at 8am when we arrived in QLD and half an hour later when we arrived at the hotel they had a room ready for us to checkin!
Staff were friendly and helpful. We ate tea in their restaurant one night, food & service was good, we were given a high chair for our toddler. The room we stayed in was small, but clean & tidy. It had two double beds and the verandah looked out to the ocean. Position is just a short stroll to Caville Avenue, there are restaurants right outside the building.

“BE WARNED”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

After arriving early to the hotel we were told that our room was not available. This is fine as we were early and with the hotel being fully booked couldn't pay for early check in, check staff continually told us we were on priority and the rooms wouldn't be long. 4 hours later we were still waiting. I would rather they told us the truth and said sorry we are fully booked it will be 2pm as per reservation than keep us waiting, it was frustrating and they didn't even offer water or anything considering you could see we were exhausted. Website also needs to be updated. I spoke to many people who thought the decor of the hotel was as per website when in fact its only the deluxe rooms etc that are renovated and the rest of the rooms are 70s throwbacks! Our studio room was humid (air not working well) and the mattress was as hard as a rock! I guess you cant beat the price for the location but that will only suffice for so long before word spreads. Hotel staff need a lesson in manners (Check in) also.

Room Tip: pay extra for a Deluxe Studio + if you want to get a nights sleep...Also parking is limited and 17/d...

Dear jackie a,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, I am naturally disappointed to hear you found the service and room quality not up to our usual high standard. I would like to confirm that our check in time is 2pm and we try our best to get the rooms ready prior to this but during peak season this becomes more difficult, the receptionist should of informed you on arrival to expect your room to be ready at 2pm, there seems to of been a communication breakdown and I apologise for this.

Mantra Legends Hotel was built in 1997 and most of our rooms have been refurbished since then, we are continually trying to improve our unrefurbished rooms. I am happy that you found both the price and location of Mantra Legends to be the best.

Kind Regards,

“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

I have stayed in this hotel twice so far. It is very close to Surfers Paradise beach and mall. The beds are getting old and need replacing soon (as of January 2013). The restaurant is a little over priced for the service and quality of food. But the proximity to beach and surfers paradise shops is great.

Room Tip: Rooms facing east have ocean view.

“Terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013 via mobile

What a rip off!
More like 3 star at 5 star price.
Rooms are falling apart and dirty.
Tv is from the early 1980s.
Pool is disgusting with hair and filth on bottom and floating on top.
Supposed to be 4 to 4.5 star and has old school bath shower set up with manky old curtains.

Never again

Dear TheWhingeReport,

Thank you for sharing this feedback, I am naturally disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at Mantra Legends Hotel, without knowing your specific booking details I cannot be sure but it appears you have booked one of our standard rooms, we do have our deluxe room categories which have been refurbished, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies as we have clearly fallen short in meeting your expectations and ensuring the room is cleaned to the highest standard.

Without having your specific booking details it makes it difficult to further investigate the issues you have raised, if you could please contact me directly chris.dickinson@mantra.com.au it would be of great assistance as I would like look into this matter further.

I would like to thank you again for providing this feedback , I look forward to hearing from you !

Kind Regards,

“Great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Hotel in early January and we had a great time. It was super busy but the staff were always smiling and the service was first class. The room was clean and tidy and we had breakfast one morning and the selection was excellent. Will be back.
