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.

The pool was good , however a damp odour in the room was not pleasant. Noisy room at the rear of the property. The room was well appointed but bites from bugs in the couch.

The property was clean and convenient. The reception staff were very helpful. However, I would say the cleaning staff were not mindful. The first night, we arrived in the middle of the night. There were no blankets, and our first night was freezing, not a good impression or a good start to our week stay. (I also know we were not the only customers who didn't have blankets on a freezing night. Yes the reception staff were very helpful the next day

Ageing but good!
This is an ageing hotel in need of updating in some of the rooms - old mirrors, bath over shower, old taps, etc - however the exterior was having a face lift whilst we were there so maybe some work ahead on the interior. Having said that, the staff were great and extremely helpful, the view was fabulous and the hotel very well located. We would go back again.

The rooms had a mouldy smell, the window didn’t unlock to let fresh air in. The room was clean however the windows and window tracks were filthy. The service on arrival at checkin was cold, we had booked as a party of 3 with 3 rooms and were placed all over the motel. When asked if we could be placed together we were told rudely that we didn’t request room together at time of booking. The motel had an alarm go off yet no one informed us if anything was wrong, we went downstairs and stood around with nothing apparent happening. Parking at the motel was terrible. There was a huge crane taking up one part of the entrance and workers vehicles taking up parks. When asked if we could park underneath the building we were told that costs extra. There was no consideration for the lack of parking or the inconvenience to guests for the work that was being carried out. Someone finally said it’s nothing to worry about. Do better Mantra
