Solo stay

Excellent location but a little noisy at times. Comfortable bed and good blackout curtains. Excellent shower with plenty of hot water. I appreciated the washer & dryer in my room. I felt safe here as an older solo female traveller.

Stayed with partner

This is the worst hotel experience I’ve had. The room was filthy, dusty, black mould growing in the shower. The wifi did not work, there was intermittent problems with hot water, the staff were dismissive and defensive when any issues were raised. The pool water was dirty and greenish. Communication was poor, the lifts broke down and no one would answer the phone and there were no instructions about how to exit the hotel. I thought that the mantra brand was reliable but it was evident that it is no longer the case. We had conversations with other guests who also commented on the poor standard of this hotel. You would be better off staying in a hostel and saving some money. I’ve since seen the general manager commenting back on poor reviews over several years. Clearly they have no interest in feedback or raising the standard of this property. Do not stay here u less you want to pay a premium to be deceived.

The air-conditioning was poor and the hotel only cleaned the room once in the week. When they attempted to clean the room they did not empty the kitchen bin. For a hotel that used to have a bar and restaurant it has diminished considerably.

Hotel was clean. Bed was like a rock. Fire alarm went off at 2am an the building had to be evacuated. Thankfully, a false alarm. Would be a better hotel if they reopened their restaurant.
