my husband and i stayed here overnight before we flew to sydney, we didnt get much timme to look aroun the hotel so i cant really comment on that. Our room was cosy even though the decor does seem a bit out of date. Overall it was okay for the price..

We stayed for 1 night in April 2013, having booked as a Wotif mystery hotel and so got a good rate of around $110. Parking was straightforward in the underground car park, and as we arrived fairly late at night we didn't try the restaurant. Kingsize bed and big room, all clean and comfortable, nothing outsanding about the decor. I... More

Room not ready at 1.45pm, but a least 4 other persons after usgot there twin room. Room had no extra toilet paper, no hand towel. Bathroom wall and floor looked like it need a good clean.The room had no where to sit, yes a dining table and dining chair but a huge space that should have had a chair or... More

Well run serviced apartment with spacious two bedroom apartment that suited our family of five with a big space between sleeping quarters. Decor is a little tired which probably suited us as we were travelling with small children. Had to unpack the mini bar so the kids didn't raid the chocolate and chips. Would have been nice to have had... More

The first thing you will notice is the smell, which is a cross between mould & old sock. We stayed in room 117 which was situated directly above the glass canopy at the front which was covered in bird droppings. The balcony was filthy & had cigarette butts everywhere. You would think that for $185 a night they could at... More

Overall average, room was spacious a bit outdated, comfortable bed, bathroom has shower over bath, in-room dining not a huge selection but the food was ok, however average price on mains being 30 dollars you may as well go to one of the restaurants in town for better quality and a better range. Also room service breakfast after ordered arrived... More

Rooms spacious and quiet. Room service food good. Meeting facilities are just what I needed. Staff helpful and friendly. Location is excellent, close to Canberra Centre and new eating joints in Braddon. The best bit was the shower, no water saving device meant I didn't have to run around to get wet. Handy on a cold Canberra morning. It is... More

Stayed at the Mantra for two days in April with my wife; a combination of business and yearly shopping trip to the capital. In almost every respect this is quite an excellent property: quick and efficient check-in; a large comfortable room with all the usual amenities; excellent breakfast choices at comparable prices to other Canberra hotels. Our only disappointment was... More

I stayed at the Mantra twice in the last month and am generally VERY happy. The rooms are spacious, the staff are friendly and helpful, the parking is convenient (although I think the parking should be complimentry), handy location (about 1 block from the city centre on the main street leading in to Canberra). The buffet breakfast is plentiful and... More
