Stayed twice at the Mantra, first time for one night, second for two nights. First time we were in room 401, upgraded to an apartment with separate bedroom c/w en-suite, lounge, kitchenette and laundry facilities, pleasant stay but we were up & gone the next morning. Second time we were given a standard room but asked for upgrade, at a... More

We stayed on the second floor in a 3 bedroom apartment, the apartment was large, including 2 bathrooms and a cupboard laundry. Apartment was clean, the balcony was lovely. We would have liked more of a view of the ocean, but you can still see and enjoy the water. One negative is that the streets can be noisy at night,... More

My Wife and I come to Darwin about 3 times a year for a relaxing time out. The Mantra on the Esplanade is a outstanding hotel and has never let's us down. The personal service we receive is probably the best we have ever experienced at a hotel, with the human touch very rare to find at a hotel. Saqib... More

We went here on a boys weekend - 5 guys in a 3 bedroom apartment with 6 single beds. The accommodation itself is adequate and comfortable, and is conveniently located. However, it isn't cheap at $530/night. The pool is good, but the spa is rubbish.

We were shopping around for a serviced apartment style hotel with sitting area and cooking facilities and booked a city facing room at the Mantra Esplanade for 3 nights. Room was very clean and well maintained. Reception staff knew the city well and could answer our tourist questions and were very pleasant. There was also a nice balcony to sit... More

The Mantra was adequate for a stay of a few days inDarwin. Placed in the middle of a swag of hotels that overlook a park and bay, it backs onto a shopping centre and one of the main streets of Darwin. My room was adequate, but I couldn't open the windows even a little bit to get some fresh air.... More

We chose this hotel based its location and it turned out to be a winner! We booked a city view, one bedroom apartment and were given one with a glorious view of the Darwin Harbour and the Esplanade. The room was huge, with a very comfortable king bed and all mod cons - including a washing machine, dryer, 2 flat... More

The hotel is a great place to stay in Darwin due to its superb location and views. The harbour outlook is relaxing and expansive. Opposite the hotel is the Bicentennial Park and within easy walking distance are the Darwin Waterfront, Stokes Hill Wharf, The Gardens and many other attractions. Behind the hotel is Mitchell St, the main night entertainment avenue... More

The location is central, the staff knowledgeable and helpful. Very comfortable bed, room and furniture. Variety of pillow weights were available. *The view over the harbour would have been exceptional but for the filthy windows outside. Air conditioner switches work 'american style' - up is ON, and the labelling has worn off, so trial and error is the best indicator... More
