Located in the heart of Melbourne CBD with everything at your doorstep. Room was in immaculate condition. Unfortunately no view to speak of due to ongoing construction in the CBD. Internet available at a cost. Booked on a promotion through their website and got room for $99 per night - exceptional value!! Certainly recommend this place. Parking expensive at $30... more

Second time I've stayed at this hotel, convenient location. Large room, this time a studio, last time a 1 bed appt. Had breakfast downstairs in hotel restaurant, fine. 711 accross the street if you need something late a night. Good restaurants nearby - try Pellegrinis or Red Pepper. Walk down Russell and turn left onto Burke. Had trouble with the... more

We have just returned from Australia with 3 children and used these mantra hotels in other cities too. Every time the location was perfect and they have appartment facilities which is a real bonus when travelling with 3 children as the option to have 2 hotel rooms otherwise is just unaffordable. We arrived at 5.30am but the hotel very kindly... more

I live in Melbourne and just needed a place to crash after a birthday in the city rather than driving all the way home. Booked the Mantra on Russell as it was the closest hotel to the bar I was attending. Wasn't expecting too much - just your standard apartment room but I was really surprised. The room was spotless... more

The bed was very comfortable and there is a TV in both the bedroom and lounge area. We heard no noise from any other rooms, the only sign you had that other people were around was... more

Have just spent 4 nights at the Mantra on Russell Street - 4 adults & 2 children. Booked as a family party. When arrived to check in, we were on separate floors! Only 1 lift working Sunday morning, so made for a 20 minute wait to exit hotel. Ordered airport transport the day before leaving. Checked out and waited for... more

Booked a night at the Mantra on Russell due to it's great locaction and good value ($200 including parking and breakfast). Check-in was quick and easy and the room was in great condition including a fantastic balcony (as requested). Ensuite was a little small and I'm not a big fan of the all-in-one bath and shower. We opted to get... more

I came down from Sydney for the night and my overall opinion of the Hotel was very good. I wouldn’t go so far as others to suggest it was a 5 star experience though. My room was on the 6th floor and noise wasn’t an issue until 9am when a hammer drill started up, I had been up for a... more
