“Convenient location...spacious room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

We were within walking distance to everything, shops and restaurants on Rundle St and East Terrace, Rundle Mall, and the Adelaide Zoo. The room was spacious and it was nice to have a full kitchen and living space. This was our last stop of our 3 week trip and it was great to have a washing machine and dryer in the room. The hotel provides you with detergent. The reception staff were very helpful. Andre's restaurant in the lobby is great for your morning coffee (good coffee...) and definitely for dinner. Make a reservation if it's a Friday.
Our only issue was the fact that our room was located on the first floor and was across from the pub, which was pretty noisy at night. Popped in some ear plugs and then all was good.
No wifi, have to pay to use the computer in the lobby, 1 AUD for 20 mins. If you go to the Cibo Espresso on Rundle/Frome, they have free wifi and great coffee. Good place for a quick lunch and gelato

Mantra on Frome is a well located property, near Adelaide's hip East End prcenict. The two bedroom apartment was spacious and well presented, and allowed guests to have their own privacy. Mantra's front office staff were very welcoming and provided a consistently courteous and responsive service

Room Tip: the corner suits on higher level provide excellent sunlight and views to the lofty ranges

“TDU Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

The reception and cleaning staff were wonderful at all times through out our stay.
Nothing was too difficult and they were always willing to assist with requests and always acted promptly. It was a great time in Adelaide, enjoying the TDU or playing on stage with an old friend and then coming back to the Mantra was something to look forward to - relax and enjoy after a busy day or night out and about. We had a great two bedroom appartment that was spacious and felt like a place to call home for our time away. We will definitely be coming back and staying longer for the cricket next time. Thanks again.

Room Tip: We stayed on the Nth Wst corner on level 1 and there was some noise, however, ear plugs did the tric...

“Rude reception staff, apartment great but no radio”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We booked a 3 bedroom apartment which was great, really modern, spacious however we would have expected some sort of radio or sterio in the room, instead we had to listen to the radio on a crackly alarm clock. The choice of foxtel channels was also very poor.
When we checked in the girl on reception was extremely rude, we checked in with 25 girls as we were having entertainment in the room from 7pm to 9pm for a hens show, this was all confirmed the day before over the phone by myself and so when the girl on reception told me this was not allowed we were very upset, she then said after a heated arguement we could all go up to the room however any noise complaints and we would be kicked out, i told her this had all been confirmed the day before with reception as being ok and she said there were no notes on the booking regarding this...is this another problem with central res? At 6am the next morning a crane decided to start working outside the apartment so every 5 seconds there was an extremely loud beeping noise which continued until 10am. what a joke, and the girl on reception at check out just laughed and goes 'yeah, that would be annoying haha'. get some professional staff and we will go back.
