I’m staying here now and I’m loving it. I don’t need luxury or service, therefore this is more than what I expected. Very reasonably priced for a suite with more than the basics. Just spent 3 hours in the pool. Great location, I will return. I loved the spirit of Darwin. People are nice, no frills and I felt very relaxed here. PS - Someone mentioned that there is no clothes line but in my suite the clothes line is over the bathtub, opposite the washing machine and dryer. In my hay day I used to stay in backpackers, so I’m impressed! :)

I did not like the fact that they were not doing recycling at the Mantra. All rubbish just went in to red bins. Pretty disappointing in this day and age. Everything else was fine.

Simple and clean... ish
An acceptably clean room although some rubbish from previous guests was left in the room. No room service and unable to request a bucket of ice for our room. Not bad overall, but could be better.

I was pretty disappointed with my stay. I spontaneously booked a room for my four year old son and I and another for my sister. The smell when I first walked into my room was so overwhelming of damp and I was lucky enough to have a view of all the paint cans and Reno rubbish. I asked to have my room changed and they said they had one more available and I moved all our stuff to the room and it was only slightly better. Still stunk of damp and I had to keep our doors open to try and air it all out, which didn’t work. For nearly $400 a night I expected better.
