Mantra on Russell Melbourne

This was our second stay at the Mantra. Good location and handy to everything which was great. This room wasn't as good as our last stay unfortunately, the smell of cigarette smoke was frequent and unpleasant at times! We had the best Barman and frequented happy hour everyday of our stay. Stephen worked so hard and was awesome. Best cocktails! Front reception staff were friendly and welcoming.

We really enjoyed it, very impressed. The only negative thing that I could comment on was there were a few previous repairs in the bathroom that looked a bit shabby. But this didn't affect our experience, it just detracted from our initial impressions of the quality of the place. We had a very comfortable stay. Would love to come back again.

Great location, lovely place to stay and nice rooms.

Very pleasant

Great staff on front desk and throughout. Comfortable beds and great hot water. Easy access to restaurants and city. Dinner in the restaurant was only average. Breakfast was good quality but limited selection.

Staff were helpful and polite, rooms were tidy and the location was fantastic.

great service

I have no complaints - very nice room, great service, great location.

Apartment was clean and well furnished. Kitchen had very basic utensils, no plug for sink and no chopping board. The pool, spa and gym were great and never very busy when I went. I didn't like the fridge being behind a kitchen cupboard door, it was a pain having to open a door to then open the fridge door! Also it made the fridge run very hot and overwork, so that it froze items with a high water contact like water melon. Just take the door off. The really disappointing aspect of my stay was the noise from the rear of the hotel, The open bar at night, followed by the 4.30am rubbish collection trucks with the sound of smashing bottles, meant that I got very little sleep. Thursday/Friday/Saturday night was between 12.30am and 3.15am before the noise stopped. It meant that I was very tired during the day which definitely had an overall effect on my holiday. On Saturday/Sunday, it meant I only got 2 hours sleep as I had to get up at 5.15am to leave for the airport. Room service was fine, with everything replenished daily, bed made and towels changed when required. Reception was polite and helpful on the times I dealt with them. FYI - My friends who stayed here did not seem to have the noise issue at the front of the hotel overlooking Russell Street. For me to stay here again, I would need to be assured of a quiet room as not everyone wants to be out until the early hours of the morning or kept awake whilst others are (rightly) enjoying themselves.

The gentlemen that did our check in was FANTASTIC I think his name was Melfaro. My apologies if I have his name incorrect. I hope you work out who because he deserves high recognition he is an exception member of staff for your establishment.

This is the 2nd time I have stayed here and we will definately be returning! Thanks to the amazing staff who are very friendly and have made our stay easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend

Easy to find with car parking on site. A welcoming reception with helpful staff. Clean room. A very good overall experience. Our only concern as older generation, retired, is the bathtub/shower. It was difficult to get in and out. But the bathroom was clean and more than adequate.

walked in checked in up to room fell on bed slept.

Great stay , music was annoying, coming from dance club in Swanson street we think , quite early in the morning. Too noisy outside to use balcony. Room was nice and clean and service otherwise was great. I have stayed at the mantra several times as I like the area. Not sure if I would book again , just because of the noise. I paid extra to stay higher this time , not sure if that was a good idea as all the roof top aircon noise came into room , even with the doors closed. Thank you.

Good staff great room very comfortable lovely bed
