We stayed here for three days having just flown in to Perth from the UK. We arrived at 3am, which was no problem and we were expected. The room was substantial with seating and kitchenette area, tea coffee and milk provided, a good sized bathroom, and a large and very comfortable bed. The room was clean, and serviced every day with tea etc replenished. The Mantra is located in the CBD, it is close to shops and there are places to eat nearby, but we ate in the restaurant one night, and the food was very good. There is a bar as well, the staff are friendly and helpful, although at times we felt there could be more staff in the bar. It seems that Qantas air crew use the Mantra for stopovers, and one evening when we were there a large crowd of them took over the bar completely which was a bit annoying. The only real problem is that the building gets very hot. Not a problem in the corridors and lobbies by the lifts, but the bedrooms are cooled by air conditioning units, we found ours to be awkward to operate or maybe we just didn't understand the instructions, but nevertheless it was extremely noisy all night. Personally I would have preferred to have the windows open and no air conditioning, but the windows didn't open. It was in the upper thirties all day, but much cooler at night. Our booking didn't include breakfast, so I am unable to comment, but it was expensive, and we preferred to go down the street for breakfast al fresco. We would probably choose to stay here again.

35 degree day in Perth, arrived to a room resembling an oven. Here's the exchange and service level

The room is stifling hot, it will take an hour to cool with one air-con unit ( not covering whole room or bathroom) and I need to sleep for an early meeting , could I pls have another room

Mantra ' we don't put the aircon on until room is allocated plus we're fully booked'

' if you're fully booked, all rooms will have been allocated so why didn't you put aircon on'

Silence....

So Mantra you saved $5 in electricity on a $300 room , it'll cost you a lot more than that. Give this place a wide berth

Stayed 1 night at the Mantra on business. In Perths over-priced hotel market, the Mantra represents relatively good value.

Rooms are spacious and have a basic kitchenette. Fit-out of the rooms is smart but pretty basic - no quality fixtures here but the hotel is kept very clean. The hallways have a very bland basic feel and the carpets are in need of cleaning and repair. The hotel has no central air conditioning which for Perth is very odd especially in a recently build hotel. The common areas are very stuffy with no air and the rooms have a wall-mounted air-con unit that is so noisy that you can't sleep at night.

TV reception is very poor, the bathroom adequate but the bed very comfortable. WiFi is available at charge but I didn't use it to comment on the speed.

Overall, the hotel is in a good location with spacious rooms. The hotel is clean but basic. Overall an OK place to stay in the CBD but there are better hotels for not much more.

This was my 5th stay in Adelaide.The Mantra was in a prime location for me and centre for the Mall.I prefer to stay with a hotel with pool but would opt to stay here again and forfeit a pool.
All the staff were helpful. The area is extremely safe for lone female travellers.
