I just spent a week at the Mantra during a bit of a cold spell in Canberra. Honestly, I don't believe the "arachnaphobia" review was a genuine one. The hotel is fine. It's a stock standard 4 star with the facilities that you'd expect and no more. The value is good and the location is sensational. It's only minutes walk... More

We booked the property in a 2 bedroom apartment for 2A and 3C and the staff could not do enough to assist us. Directions and information were very accurate and handy. Plenty of restaurants nearby, and the restaurant onsite was nice and serves a great breakfast. Rooms had all requirements. Heaters work very well for the Canberra cold temps.

The place is ok. I took the extra blanket out of the cupboard but it was a bit dirty. The bathroom is nice but the glass pane on the shower should be larger as the floor gets quite wet. The shampoo and gels are lemon grass and eucalyptus and are very relaxing. I think the place is 3.5/5.

The Mantra and Northbourne in Canberra has lost some shine but is meeting most of your needs. The Good: The kitchennete is sufficient to longer term needs. The lounge is nice and you can even entertain. The badrppm is spacious and the bathroom has laundry facilities. The Bad: The bathtub holds my legs or a small child. The shower has... More

We booked for 2 nights but ended up staying for three. Because we booked the third night after we arrived we got stung an additional $80 a night for the same room. I understand the term "dynamic pricing" but when you are already in-house and staying three nights you know the costs for servicing the room are a lot less... More

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

The good: desk staff were very professional and the restaurant staff quite attentive. The breakfast buffet was also very good, and the hours it was on offer were convenient. In-suite laundry was helpful. The bad: our one bedroom suite was very shabby and there even major cleanliness issues were overlooked. Upon arrival, there was a large (~4 inch x 3... More

The room is fairly spacious with basic set up. Lighting is pretty bad and there is no bedside switch to turn on/off the main light. You have to walk to the hallway to do that. The air condition is disturbingly noisy. Both TV and air con remote handsets are very dirty with visible accumulation of dust/ grime around keys. Had... More
