Our one bedroom apartment was roomy and comfortable. A well equipped kitchenette, separate lounge and bedroom, and a bathroom which also included a washing machine and dryer. The bathroom was showing a little age, but the rest of the apartment seemed to have been recently renovated, with good quality fixtures. Having asked for a quiet room, I was given a... More

I have stayed at Mantra at least 4 times this year and find the desk staff and management very professional, accommodating and always happy to help with any queries and assistance. I was travelling with 9 other guests and Mantra were very helpful in getting our rooms organised based on our specific room requests and requirements. I have stayed in... More

Recently came to Canberra for a wedding weekend and stayed with a few friends in ajoining rooms. It was an absolutely fantastic weekend close to Civic and the nightlife. Despite an early morning false fire alarm, the staff were extremely polite and apologetic. Breakfast straight after was just what the doctor ordered. I'll be staying here for all my upcoming... More

We moved apartments three times as the bedding was terrible. The staff didn't seem to care. As a result won't be listening to celebrities endorse anything again. More

I recently spent 4 nights at the Mantra and I thought the rooms were average, looking somewhat dated. We had a fire alarm at 7.15am on Saturday morning and there was not much communcation about evacuation and because we were at the back of the hotel we went out to the rear of the hotel and no-one came to tell...

I travel to Canberra overnight for business quite often. My company likes the Mantra because its close the office, but its my last choice of hotels on my companies 'preferred' list. I go to Canberra for business meetings and typically need to iron my shirts to ensure I look sharp and professional. The next to last time I stayed at... More
