“Good base for exploring”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012

It's very conveniently located, just walking distance from the restaurants on Salamanca Place and close to the visitor information center (about 5-10 mins), however, it is in a heritage listed building, so the decor is pretty average. We stayed 3 nights in an executive room on the 5th floor, which had a very generous living and dining area and a... More

“Odd hotel, furnished from an op shop.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

First the good news, it is in a great location, 5 minutes walk to Salamanca or the city. The rooms are HUGE and clean. But that’s it. They don't have a restaurant for breakfast. You need to walk into the city or Salamanca for a feed. Reception is not staffed early, or late, or most of the weekend. There was... More

“Great location - old, but clean and tidy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2012

I've stayed here on twice now. This stay was much better as we requested a street facing room. Rooms on the street have more windows - where some other rooms are facing the building next door and are quite dark. The only negative was some noisy neighbours who due to the bed's proximity to the front door disturbed our sleep... More

We stayed at Mantra 1 for 3 nights in Feb. & found it quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious, clean & comfortable & although being on the Davet St corner we did not find the traffic noise a problem. Sure the car park is a bit dingy but hey, its a car park. Great position for walking to the wharf... More

Stayed here with a friend over a long weekend. Staff were helpful and friendly, rooms were clean and basic amenities were provided (small fridge, kettle, tea and coffee - also a washing machine.). We had a 3 story split level apartment - i suspect the other rooms in this establishment are not split level, so you should specify if you... More

“Good middle range option”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2012

The Mantra has a great location for tourists as it is near Salamanca Place, the city and Battery Point.It is a converted Art Deco style building and this is reflected in the layout of the rooms which are a bit unusual. Our apartment had a smallish bedroom straight off the entrance and a massive living area separated by kitchen and... More

Thank you for taking the time to review Mantra One Sandy Bay Road.

In my reservation I'd requested a room with a view of the park - at check in I was informed that they were all full so we headed up to our room.

“Not your typical Mantra”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2012

person found this review helpful

Mantra typically has nice accommodations, and this place certainly has all the ammenities you'll need for a comfortable stay, but there's just something 'off' about the place. The floor plan is unusual, the contemporary furniture doesn't quite fill the space, and as others have said the walls are bare giving it a stark feeling. Road noise was more than usual,... More
