The property was clean and in a great location. It needs some updating. The staff on arrival weren’t super happy, but I wouldn’t say they were rude. Overall a good experience and was good value for money.

A let down for Mantra. This hotel is out-dated. Toilet is old fashioned, shower head did not stay in place and I hate it when a king bed has 2 single bases that causes a hill in the middle of the mattress. The fridge cupboard opens to the opposite side of the fridge door and the cupboard door hits the bed making it difficult to even access the fridge. Otherwise a good location and a reasonable premises.

We had requests for 2 beds in the room booked, we called the hotel and requested that. It was confirmed that the request was received and actioned. Once we arrived the staff informed us that the room we requested was not available. That’s really disappointing especially when we called on 2 different occasions and requested this and were advised that this was done!

The exterior of this property is terrible and I was embarrassed I’d booked this for our friends. the lobby area is also run down. The room was clean and functional but also run down. The checkin staff were lovely. A great location but this is a very old property that needs updating.

Mixing sport and leisure at the Mantra, Canberra

Went down for a football (soccer) international and a visit to a few museums.

Staff were very friendly and helpful to the point of finding me a phone charger and a bottle opener when I had forgotten mine.

Aircon was a little noisy whirring away during the evening.

Good that it was a few blocks away from the main centre so noise levels outside were minimal.

Overall a good stay.

It was very dirty and shabby!

Cons:
Bathroom broken and dirty - grim.
Swimming pool cold and dirty and access to it dark and dangerous to a woman on their own.
Windows dirty with draft and condensation
Poor daily cleaning - bin not emptied and cups not cleaned with poor bed making.
Shower lukewarm and in the bath.
Someone’s toothbrush left in shower.
Very low standard hotel, I’d liken it to a run down UK holiday Inn.

Pros:
Reception staff friendly


Really gross! Nothing like the Avenue next door where my friends stayed. I chose it fir the pool which was a joke.

We could have chosen a cheaper option, but decided to stay here because it had an indoor pool for the kids. Unfortunately, we were never informed in advance that the pool heater was out of order, making the water too cold for the kids to swim. When we brought this up, the staff were unhelpful and offered no compensation.

The rooms also didn’t match the photos—they were old, worn, and felt very budget. Better customer service might have helped make up for some of the issues, but overall, we did not enjoy our stay.

It was close to the bus stop. It was a large room. No one came to clean out the room until the 3rd day. Even then, they only emptied the trash and left a new bathmat and added some coffee packages. They didn't take the used coffee cups left on the bathroom sink or remake/change the bed sheets. It was just okay.
