This is a well positioned, comfortable, well managed premise for people who need a short stay in Canberra. It's very close to the city centre, is quiet and has generous rooms, very comfortable beds and very average bathrooms. Breakfast was generous but quality was average, although well supported by very friendly and attentive staff. There was a reasonable range of... more

The good: - Spacious, - Close to CBD and restaurants, - Kitchen, - Laundry, - Friendly housekeeping staff. Not so good: - Parking is at extra cost, very tight (don't take your Merc), first in best dressed so be careful, - Bathroom dated, - Not worth the rates they tend to charge (esp. during week) - look out for specials. more

We got this room rate as part of a Questacon package. It was much cheaper to book through wotif than through hotel direct. We went with another family and the hotel managed to get us 2 adjoining rooms. We stayed 1 night with breakfast included. One of the reasons we chose this hotel was because it had an indoor pool... more

We paid $159 a night for a one bed apartment, breakfast and parking. For that money it was a really great deal. The rooms were a good size and having the TV in the lounge away from the bedroom was excellent. The kitchen made eating in easy as did the full size fridge. The bathroom was clean but very functional... more

Decent enough rooms, reasonable size and good facilities. The breakfast was very good - and no wait for a table unlike some of the other reviews here. The car parking has been mentioned before and this really is an issue - they just don't have enough spots underground so both nights we had to park in the street. more

Stayed at the Mantra recently on business, and it was OK, with the best part being the great service by the reception desk staff. The breakfast in the restaurant downstairs was pretty ordinary, but the room service breakfast was pretty good - much better value. The main problem however was ordering room service. I ordered a glass of white and... more

Stayed here overnight as we were attending a NRL match at Canberra Stadium. Room was very spacious, with just two of us in there we felt a bit small! Staff very friendly, we checked in late at night. Carpark is very confined and a bit scary, we were lucky to get the very last space. Booked online, breakfast was included... more

I travel to Canberra often on business and stayed at the Mantra for most of April. I stayed in four different rooms on various floors and always found them in good repair with large bathrooms and sitting rooms. The smaller rooms have very limited luggage space so unless you are on your own make sure you get one of the... more

An apartment property in a good location close to the city centre, with reasonable facilities in the rooms, but definitely in need of refurbishment. Room cleaning poor at best, Car Parking pretty much a disaster if you're out after 6pm as the parking fills up & the only other option is to park on the street behind the hotel. We... more
