Comments of Mantra on Northbourne Canberra
T. S. A. S. P.
A wonderful serviced apartment, that’s wonderfully placed in the middle of Canberra.
The staff is hospitable and responsive to all your needs.
The access to the place is a little tricky, the restaurant is closed, the housekeeping service is patchy and their pool seems haunted and like a dungeon!
Besides those flaws, I recommend a nice little stay in this decent Hotel/ Service Apartment.
C. T.
Apartments are not the cleanest. Location is good but noisy from road traffic and restaurants and hotels nearby.
J. M.
Location was great but restaurant was not open and you cannot use Accor gift cards at Mantra.
J. K.
The room was well kept and the service was excellent. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, making my stay more enjoyable.
T. N. T.
Thanks Mantra on Northbourne for your generosity and kindness in looking after our front-line health workers!
We had a very pleasant stay here. Great location, minutes walk to the bustling Canberra Centre. The room was neat and tidy with all the essentials. Parking was $15/day. We'll definitely come again on our next visit to Canberra.

Its very convenient for work. The rooms I've had have all been 1 bedroom apartments. The furniture in some of the rooms could use a revamp, in that they're fairly worn after years of use. That said, the beds have all been comfortable, the rooms very clean and I've slept very soundly, even when on the first floor at the front of the building. Staff are polite, welcoming and efficient. Have no problem staying there for as long as work puts me up there!
Z. F.
My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights. It was a pleasant stay with friendly staff. The one bedroom apartment was clean and tidy with a reasonable amount of room. It was a good walking distance from most shops and restaurants. We had a lot of trouble swiping the card to enter the basement parking.
G. P.
I booked with my daughter in a twin room. Room was OK, at my price level I didn't get house keeping, but if I needed anything (towels etc) I could ask. I did, and it took four hours and a follow up call to get some towels.
In the room were two single beds, and a chair. No couch, so the only place to eat was on the bed or the chair, a couch would have been good, as there was plenty of room. There was also a tear in the curtain, which I alerted them about when I left.
Car parking is available for $15 a night, but parking is tight, and it gets busy. Bonus is that it is close to Canberra itself, so you can park, and then walk most places to get a feed.
Be aware that they take the full amount, plus $100 bond at the beginning of your stay, then when you leave, they charge you the amount owing. The authorisation should drop off in 3 - 5 business days, but on my account it is showing as a debt, so I have basically given them over $1,200 and should get part of that back, in 3 - 5 days. Not real helpful if you've got a payment coming out, and you've had this amount put onto your account.
If I had known this I may well tried somewhere else.
The retaurant and bar were closed, but there seemed to be food being delivered whenever we were in reception.
There were also party people staying on Saturday night, which isn't an issue unless they decide to start talking loudly in the corridor at 1 AM.
C. F.
Great location and reception staff were awesome. Service via email was also swift with answering questions prior to arrival so thanks for that! There is loud construction going on right next door from quite early and due to Covid, a lot of facilities are closed but I did not mark down for this. Marked down slightly due to the fact that for our 6 night stay, our room was never treated by room service even though we left the sign on the door to do service everyday except 1. The beds were average but comfortable enough. As a platinum member it felt like it wasn't acknowledged until I asked and received a few drinks which was appreciated. I will definitely stay here again though :)
A. M.
This hotel is well positioned, however the cleaning was sub-par and definitely not what you would expect in a post-Covid world. If you have to cut back on staff due to the pandemic, the cleaning crew would be the LAST people I'd cut back on.
T. M.
The service rendered by the hotel was excellent. We also enjoyed the facilities offered by the hotel such as sauna and swimming pool. We had no chance to experience the breakfast at your hotel, but surely will try it the next time we stay …
C. H.
Had a great stay at Mantra on Northbourne in a 2 room, beds very comfortable, bathrooms clean, towels fluffy, but need a little TLC.
Kitchen great!
My tablet was somehow left behind and received a call from the Service Desk who arranged for it to be sent home. Arrived safely via delivery. Service was excellent and friendly with a smile. 😃
T. M.
The property is easy to get to. The room we were assigned was lovely. We got a warm welcome at the hotel. The bed was amazing after driving all day long. The most wonderful thing is the pool is almost always empty. The kitchen is well supplied with the basics. I would highly recommend this hotel.
J. C.
Firstly let me say that the staff were terrific and location was very convenient, unfortunately those are all the pros I can think of. The decore, furnishing and the amenities at this hotel were quite dated. The dimly lit corridors made the hotel feel like a low budget motel, even though it is priced like a five star hotel. I strongly believe that this hotel is in need of an overhaul, and cannot in good conscience recommend staying here. I mean for the price you can find much better accommodation.
T. M.
The room was nicely laid out. The staff were extremely helpful and polite at all times. ***y tourist attractions are within walking distance. Upon arriving we were greeted by a welcoming receptionist. The bed is the best thing about the room. At night- the lights were amazing. What a wonderful hotel to stay in.
R. S.
Staff were great but what hotel offers an apartment without a tv in the bedroom... 🤦♂️ Too many other options in Canberra to go back.
L. N.
Firstly the customer service from each person we talked to was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean, it had a kitchen, 2 kings, 2 bathrooms, 2 TV's and a laundry. I really felt a value for money. It was $15 for parking, which seems around average however they were extremely tight spots which made it difficult to unpack and pack the car.
We were out all day but the cleaning happened when we returned later in the afternoon which was off and no Bible in the room, I found that weird.
M. “. S.
The room layout and facilities were great! I did think that the place could do with a coat of paint - lots of marks on the walls. Oh and the housekeeping could have been slightly better. A mouldy bath plug, and an empty water bottle found under the bed.
The location was fantastic. Once all the construction around is done it will be quieter and it's just a short stroll to the central food districts.
T. O.
Had a great stay for a week. Bianca, Daniel and Megan were really helpful local guides. They were knowledgeable of the local area and chose the perfect places for breakfast and dinner to suit our group. All staff we encountered were also very friendly and made us feel right at home. I would highly recommend this stay if nothing else but the staff!
The rooms were clean, well maintained, and spacious. It is well situated in the city of Canberra within walking distance of restaurants and shops. There is also great coffee available in the foyer from early morning!
o. m.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean but I had a used shower cap in the box so was unable to use this. Also had a broken towel rack in the bathroom that kept on falling off the wall. Had to go down to reception each day to get fresh towels as they did not have anyone cleaning the rooms due to the public holidays
V. C.
Very handy location, with an easy walk to lots of great cafes and bars. The rooms are spacious and clean, if a tiny bit worn around the edges. Cooking facilities are a bit on the basic side, but fine for reheating meals or cooking simple dishes. It's quiet, and the service is friendly and helpful.
D. H.
Recently stayed here for 5 days for work. Had room 515 which is a self contained apartment. I usually stay at the Novotel when in town.
Nice big apartment with separate lounge, dining, kitchen, bedroom and en-suite with washing machine and clothes dryer.
The kitchen is fully equipped with glasses, cutlery, crockery, pots, pans, toaster, kettle, microwave, fridge and even a dishwasher. I was by myself, however, a couple could EASILY stay hear with all the creature comforts and lap it up.
If you're driving, there's secured underground parking for $15 a day, which is really reasonable. Other hotels charge up to $25.
The hotel itself is a 5 minute walk from the city center - shops, restaurants, bars etc and is literally surrounded by eateries and cool places to grab a drink.
I stay in a LOT of hotels around Australia with my work, so I've seen the good, bad and the ugly. This place has the potential of being great, just their housekeeping and restaurant let them down.
I would have given them five stars, however, housekeeping let them down a bit before I checked in and I had to clean a couple of things in the kitchen and bathroom. Nothing major, however very obvious to the eye, and that cost them one star unfortunately.
In addition, their in-house "restaurant" is on par with a local coffee shop/takeaway. The food, plates and presentation is way below average. They served me a pretty raw steak as you can see in the photo. I took one mouthful and left the rest. $39 down the drain. When I complained, they offered me a 20% discount on a meal I couldn't even eat. Do NOT eat at the "restaurant". There's plenty of much nicer places around. This cost them another star.
Such a pity. It all started off so well and I was so looking forward to giving my first 5 star review for a hotel. You started strong guys, just lost it in the details.
N. F.
Friendly staff, clean and fairly comfortable rooms, slightly dated and stained in places but fairly good overall. The bed looked huge but was just two joined single beds, not very comfy. The docomo tv system is outdated and picture quality on the TV is poor. Rooms serviced daily, bring your own tea and coffee though as the stuff in the room is rubbish.
t. H.
This motel is in a great place, close to every thing. The staff are friendly, and very helpful.
I must say though the room we are in is supposed to be disability friendly, it has some issues. Room 101, has a walk in shower though not big enough for a wheelchair bound person to access it, and the shower head should be hand held, and there is no handrail. The doorway to the bathroom is narrow, and is obstructed by the bed.
I hope management gets this information because any disabled person booking this room would be seriously disappointed and inconvenienced.
T. M.
Easy access to tourist attractions. In short, the location is excellent. The rooms are big to say the least. The pool area is just beautiful. Its located in a great neighborhood. The staff of this hotel are always accommodating and very helpful. I can't wait to return with my husband.
H. S.
In short, Satisfactory, but not Great!
This is a nice cosy hotel for business travel. The hotel has some great facilities like the swimming pool, sauna and gym for those of us that are fitness inclined. However I was very disappointed that a mere bottle of water was not offered complimentary. Another markdown is the fact that you cannot connect your laptop to the tv. Lighting in the rooms could be improved too. Despite all the bells and whistles, the hotel failed in the minor comforts which wouldn't even be a huge hit to the hotel's bottom line.
Otherwise, the location is quite nice with great restaurants, bars and cafes located a few minutes walk away and the new tram only a couple of minutes walk away. They have a 24hr menu which is also handy.
M. K.
Nice and clean. Friendly staff.
Restaurant is still closed.
But they are right next to fantastic cafe and restaurant called Ciao . A huge variety in Breakfast luch and pastries.
J. K.
Not bad. Good location as an unreal eat street is 200m walk from the rear. Also hero burger down below at rear. They probably need to go easy on the cheep perfume in the lifts though.
A. B.
The hotel seems to be in a good central location. The check in process was easy and staff were polite. The room I had was spacious (509). The bed was quite hard though. The bathroom was pretty basic (shower over bath). One of my towels had a stain which looked like makeup of blood. Check out was easy too.
It's hard to give a detailed review after one night. I'd probably stay here again when in Canberra.
S. T.
Was quite disappointed.
Building was old and the sound proof work was not good.
You can hear people talking when they walk pass your room.
The noises of foot steps or door movement from upstairs strike you from time to time.
Bed and blanket were not comfy but pillows were good.
Kettle was not cleaned at all that I can even see residual milk from last user still in it.
However, house keeping staff was helpful but replaced a broken one at first. 😂
In room dinnig service was fine, don't need to wait too long.
However, the punkin chicken salad I ordered was not recommended.
The grilled chicken was over cooked. 😢😢
L. B.
Can't say anything bad about this hotel. Room and staff were great. Check in and out were quick and simple. Staff very helpful with local knowledge, bus timetables, maps....
I walked to the Botanic Gardens, Paliament House and the War Memorial from here.
Also close to shopping centre (10 min walk)
When i visit Canberra again, this is where i will stay :-)
J. V.
Great hotel to stay at! Rooms are very big! you can seriously do cartwheels in there lol comfy beds and the staff here are very helpful and friendly. The indoor pool isn't super warm but still good enough to swin in. The sauna was great!
Y. Z.
I am very glad I stayed there.I was anxious about my job interview; but staff was supportive and understanding .Very good, nice design of a room.:)-professional balance in terms of business and leisure spaces. Location was perfect-it makes a significant difference to be relaxed , rested , confident , but happy .
E. D.
Spacious, clean rooms. Pleasant staff. Tight car park, but fine for a small car. The 'deep soak bath' as advertised certainly wasn't a deep soak at all. A paddle pool perhaps, and certainly not deep enough to cover me.
V. D.
Very convenient spot close to the city centre. Very nice room, allowed four people to stay in a one bedroom, living room arrangements. They also provided a portable bed for us which proved to be helpful. Payment taken on checkout with no drama. Friendly people. Overall, it was a good experience!
C. C.
Decent serviced apartments. Didn't get to try the restaurant as they were closed for lunch and dinner over the holidays. The pool is more like a giant bath tub, so don't expect to do laps... It was also freezing cold so the kids were shivering in about 5 minutes! Rooms and facilities were fine, although starting to look slightly worn in a few places eg leaking tap handles but nothing major or important.
L. B.
Nice hotel in a strategic location, in the heart of the city. Friendly staff, good rooms, car parking ($15 per night), swimming pool (not heated though), and very good breakfast ($20 per person if booked in advance). I had nothing to complain about during my stay. Will come back again.
L. C.
Went here for a conference and used the rooms downstairs in the lobby. The rooms were a good size and we had access to the courtyard and bistro area. The food was good and had a large variety.
R. G.
Room was great, staff very accommodating and the breakfast was good. But you need to stop charging $100 as a bond, it takes a month for the banks to release the funds and I travel a lot and don't want $300 to $400 a week tied up every week in bonds if I were to use hotels that charge this kind of bonds. The average at the moment is $1.
S. S.
I liked the room, I liked the location, but, to me, what really stood out the most was the people. To give a bit of context, I missed my flight to Canberra. I ended up arriving a little bit before 12am and I was just flat out tired. Bianca and Megan were really accommodating to me. They gave me suggestions for places to eat and things to do. They weren't rushing to check me into my room, they were thinking about me. They really just made me feel like I was at home. Next time I will definitely be coming back to the Mantra because I know their staff will treat me with the upmost respect. If you ever get the chance to read this, thanks guys for making my trip memorable!
m. T.
I've stayed here a few times over the years and always appreciated the spacious rooms and friendly staff.
This time I found myself looking for a meal after 9:30pm on a Monday night. That's almost impossible to find in Canberra and a lot of hotels don't even have a kitchen these days. Fortunately, Mantra has some tempting meals on their room service menu. The lamb shank was just what I needed!
K. J.
Very comfortable apartments. The one bedroom apartment is particularly spacious with a good sized balcony. The interiors are a little dated but not enough to bother me. It's located about a ten minute walk to a big shopping centre, and lots of food places.
z. h.
Ticks all the boxes, superior suite was spacious and comfortable, apartment living with daily housekeeping. Location is central but you will have to pay for parking. Internet will cost you but Telstra reception is great. Late 90s early 00s style interior and clean. The restaurant has good dinner options.
M. R.
Very friendly staff. Great location. Building, rooms, fixtures and fittings are all tired and dated. In-Room dining: Stay away from the pepper steak and green curry - I get the feeling they are not freshly made but days old as I got mildly sick from each one twice (so 4 occuances) and the rice was dry/hard on both occassions. Luckily there are dozens of fantastic places to eat at all within 500m or so.
T. M.
This was my wife and I's first time there. Stuff around is around everywhere ready to help. We were very happy with the cleanliness of the hotel. The location is simply perfect to where we want to be as per our itinerary. Transportation to the city and touring is just around the corner.
D. L.
Our stay was very pleasant with courteous staff and clean rooms. The location is fantastic, you're right in the middle of town but far enough away that the creatures of the night won't bother you.
A little on the expensive side for what you actually get but overall I can recommend this hotel to anyone putting that little bit extra value on convenience over quantity.
T. P.
Stayed overnight. Very nice room, clean and well appointed. The staff were nice and friendly. Will definitely stay here again. Nice and handy for the city.
m. p.
Stayed at Mantra on Northbourne for 5 nights. Good location and for the most part the room was clean and comfortable. The dryer had rubbish in it, no hand towel supplied and needed to wash cooking pots before use. As it was very hot we wanted to use the pool and we were told it is out of use due to renovations and we could use one at another hotel by arrangement. Upon checkout we mentioned having use of a pool was a major factor in our decision to stay there. We were then told it was only closed for the day!. Would have been nice if we were told that or perhaps even to say it was only temporary check again daily. Given 40 degrees evey day this really spoilt what could have been a great stay.
J. D.
Alright hotel. Things were generally okay, but not great. Lowlights were a musty smell in the rooms and coming from the aircon, a bathroom fan that can not be turned off, an old broken down couch, and curtains that could really use a wash. The bed wasn't bad, though, and the bathroom was quite clean and functional (though the sink was super low).
J. J.
I'd like to say thank you to Mantra staff because I left my tablet in the room when I was on holiday. They send it to me very quick. Good location, easy check in and out. Clean and tidy. Highly recommended.
S. T.
Stayed in a 1b apartment for 4 nights. Excellent location, friendly staff and inside the apartment was spacious and clean. However the apartment was basic and dated with only a view of the windowless government building opposite - balcony was dirty and pretty much unusable.
Good choice if you can get a deal - we used ANZ points so it felt like good value - but don’t expect to be wowed!
K. T.
Very helpful and polite staff. Good location to Civic, supermarkets etc. And great access to cafes just a few stays away on Londsdale Street. One bedroom apartments very comfortable and well-equipped kitchens.
C. N.
Pros: The staff on the front desk, proximity to shops.
Cons: lifts are crap and buttons don't work half the time, cooking equipment was inadequate for a two month stay and was missing quite a lot of utensils. House keeping kept messing with my air con settings until I hid the remote, shower baths, I hate shower baths, bedroom furniture was impractical ie bed side table draws fit a packet of condoms and that's about it.
Why have I still given it 5 stars? Because the staff at reception were amazing! Especially Brittany and Maria if it wasn't for their service mantra would be getting 1 star.
T. M.
A quality motel right in the middle of everything Canberras CBD has to offer. There is a lot to do around the hotel. Ladies at the front desk were wonderful. Most of the people who work there are very professional. Staff were very friendly but the rooms are dates and need upgrading.
A. D.
I've stayed here a few times. The bathroom/kitchen are a little dated, but always clean. Rooms facing Northbourne Ave can be a bit noisy. The staff are always quick, friendly and courteous. Split system in the bedroom makes it easier to control temperature. Wifi is paid, but that seems standard in this level of accommodation in Canberra.
V. N.
Rooms are good size and very well maintained. Staff are wonderful and lovely to deal with all requests in a timely manner. Only downside was the apartments don't contain ovens.
M. H.
Reasonable sized rooms that are clean and well kept. Staff were really friendly and the location of the hotel is only a short walk from some amazing restraunts and shopping
J. V.
Very limited gluten free selection and no signage on the items on the continental breakfast buffet, they will do gf toast without hesitation in the kitchen if you ask. Everything else is great
T. L.
Hotel staff are lovely. Comfy bed, very clean.
Restaurant has well priced, delicious food.
They happily store luggage before and after check in.
E. A. S.
No free wi-fi in the rooms, in this day and age it's quite ridiculous - so 1 star is deducted. Vegetarians, be mindful at breakfast - baked beans were served with chopped bacon mixed in. Otherwise, a good, clean hotel, comfy medium-soft beds.
C. H.
Great location, within short walking distance to Canberra Centre and restaurants. Single apartment was clean, lounge room was spacious with an good sized outdoor balcony. Bathroom needed to be cleaned. Great amenities eg: washing machine. Secure onsite parking at a cheap rate for 24hrs per car. Good customer service with attention to detail. Would highly recommend the Mantra on Northbourne.
Y.
Spent a couple of days attending a training course in the conference facilities.
Staff were always professional, helpfull and friendly.
Lunchtime arrangements were a bit chaotic for our large group. Would help having a dedicated queuing area.
Food was tasty.
Thanks.
N. H.
The location is a 5-8 minute walk to the city and is in Braddon, the upcomming hipster area of Canberra! The room itself is nice and clean. The hotel itself has a pool and bar\restaurant. Nothing out of the extrodinary...but the staff were friendly. Overall a great place for its price!
s. d.
I think that this place is really beautiful. Well kept rooms. Excellent location. Undercover security parking. The pool area is pretty ordinary. No decent storage in the room for suitcases or clothes.
K. O. (.
Pretty old room interiors, utensils, t.v. Personally, the kitchen is too small to cook conveneintly. Room service is prompt. There's the cafe and restaurant - Stock , but didn't order to review the food quality and eating experience.
A. Y.
The mantra is a very nice accommodation, rooms are clean and well kept. Staff are very friendly.
I have enjoyed my stay at the mantra and would recommend it to anyone seeking to stay in Canberra.
D. D.
Somewhat dated, but pleasant hotel. Breakfast is (an expensive) extra, but the rooms are clean and roomy and the staff are firendly. Worth 3 stars, but like the rest of Canberra, it is overpriced compared to accommodation in almost any other city.
S. F.
Very good location. They have helpful staff and they were polite too. Roms are clean and breakfast was good. It was a comfortable stay.
C. G.
Room is clean, but not luxurious. Bed is overly firm. TV is small and can't accept external input (e.g. laptop). Restaurant is okay, perhaps a little overpriced for the quality.
R. R.
Helpful staff who upgraded us for a belated Valentine's/first night away from daughter ever. Room was clean. Bed was comfy. Had a very special night away.
A. C. B. W.
I attended a meeting, so I didn't get to see inside rooms. The conference room was simple but comfortable. It looked clean and well presented but not luxurious.
M. D.
4 for the room and overall experience but 1 star for the pool it's just so Soviet. Seriously though room was very nice and huge for a reasonable price.
M. G.
Stayed at the Mantra last weekend for 3 nights with a friend as we had a WRAAC army reunion to attend. Great twin accomodation, good air conditioning & windows that opened for fresh air when needed which most hotels don't have. Had bath/shower hand rails, ample car parking, could walk to War Memorial, 2 blocks from City Centre & Maccas around the corner for breakfast! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends....
D. H.
Clean and close to many amenities with professional, helpful and friendly staff. M inus 1 point for ightly musty smelling rooms as no exhaust fan in ensuites and noisy neighborhood after midnight. Otherwise pretty good.
J. J.
Nice spacious rooms good location. Parking is usually ok if not to busy. Restaurant down stairs is great and staff more than accommodating.
M. B.
Nice rooms, quite central to Canberra City! Staff are nice too
A. R.
I attended Blue Sky Masterclass. We used 1 of the conference. The ambiance is welcoming. The place is fairly decent but shows signs of old building that needs facelift and upgrade of interior fitout.
l. g.
Love staying here. Cosy room clean and very comfortable beds. Love the location close to the city and staff are so lovely. Stayed 4 times and will visit again
B. M.
Good location Friendly staff nice room. But you have to pay for the parking( but street parking is easy enough) and you can hear other people showering from your room
M. M.
Great location, wonderful service, reception was knowledgeable of the places to go grab a bite and visit. Would stay again if im in the area
s. p.
With a great location just minutes walk from the CBD, Mantra on Northbourne is a haven for those visiting Canberra. Secured Carpark, pool, 24hr reception desk plus all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay.
The shower heads could be a little higher, but the world wasn't made for giants. Anyone under 6 foot will have no problem.
J. H.
A relatively cost effective hotel. Nothing flash, but clean easy to get to and, most importantly, close to good coffee.
Reception staff were most helpful too
R. W.
It's a bit dated, particularly the bathrooms. However it's clean and comfortable.
J. Т.
Good sized rooms, clean, good amenities. Easy access to the bus network now trams. Close to cafes, bus interchange, shopping center.
A. C. C.
Not bad, but the beds were a bit small. The carpark was quite a challenge to navigate with it being so narrow. But overall a decent stay.
M. B.
There were a few issues regarding our previous visit. 'Alana' handled the issues with professionalism and courtesy. She has redeemed our faith in the Mantra brand and we look forward to staying with them again in the future.
H. L.
Good location, buffet breakfast was very understaffed and slow to replenish breakfast dishes. Family room was a bit dated but comfortable.
S. T.
Spacious rooms. Good facilities. Well located to Canberra's CBD. Bathrooms could do with a refresh, but everything is clean and works well.
M. S.
Rooms were nice and clean, decently sized with good air-conditioning however the fire alarm went off 3 times during our visit
A. S.
Parking was a big negative, room was noisy, no view other than a brick wall of the next building. Breakfast was a let down as well for the price.
E. T.
The rooms are slightly dated. Pool, Gym & Restaurant closed due to Covid. Fantastic location, close to Civic.
P. G.
Great location close to all great food and shopping in walking distance! The room is very comfy and cosy for a big family. The staffs are wonderful!
A. M.
Lovely atmosphere. Easy access and friendly staff. Used the meeting rooms and they worked well for our function
I. C.
The mantra on northbourne was a very acommodating, brilliantly located hotel. The staff were helpfup and quick to share in a joke. The rooms were nice and functional nothing unexpected or particularly notable.
W. C.
Booking in very good. Room clean. Restaurant still not open due to Covid
R. S.
Nice hotel for business trips. Close to the CBD. Easy parking around the hotel on the weekends. However hotel parking has much to be desired. Too Tight and cramped.
B. L.
Stayed 2 nights on 2-bedroom unit. Good location to access city center (Canberra Centre). Additional fee for parking space.
S. R.
Room was great quality, and was able to check in at late notice. Close to shopping centres and food outlets. Good complimentary toiletries.
k. m.
Accommodation was good. Food was nice just expensive for what you got (room service) we felt a little ripped off.
C. K.
Great room service, super comfortable, has everything you need but would like better cooking utensils for cooking.
P. S.
A good place to stay!!
E. S.
A mantra so reliable as mantra always is. Rooms might be getting a bit tired but would stay again. Staff great
a. m.
Recently attended for an event. Very convenient location for travelers and easy parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent choices for food in the street behind the building
A. P.
Really nice place. A bit old but spacious and has all amenities. Walking distance to CBD. Great for business trips. Friendly staff
A. M.
Fantastic place for long stay. Descent size kitchen. However, the smoke alarm WILL go off if you try to cook.
C. E. H. B. G.
Floriade season bit dear but worth it, short walks to CBD and foods. Carparks a bit tricky turns in and out 1 way enough for 1 car at a time.......get in parked early or no carpark and have to circle outside in the streets for hours without luck.
N. C.
Rooms are large and clean. Staff are friendly and bathroom is good. Plumbing can be a bit loud though.
R. G.
Stayed along with three other couples. All of us were completely satisfied with our rooms, the service provided by the staff and the price. Would stay here again.
S. M.
Attended a conference at the Mantra. There were coffee and tea facilities readily available, catering was delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly.
S. A.
It looks they are milking the last bit of money out of this place before they knock it down or renovate . Rooms are dated, especially the bathrooms .And they charge extra for everything - parking, wifi, even room service delivery
S. E.

Room is very big,but i could not sleep much because its next to main road ,not comfortable beds,bit dusty inside room.pay car parking,they charge everything in room including water bottle,location is excellent.there is everything in a room like washing machine, dryer,dishwasher, electrical stove, dishes etc,but to use it there are ristrictions so i dont bother to use it.after i stayed two days they give me 50 dollars e voucher which you can use for next time stay they're group of hotels but i dont think i never go again.
