Excellent accommodation place to stay. Very friendly helpful staff, fast check-in, onsite secure parking. The room was very tidy and comfortable, extremely spacious apartment style. The restaurant breakfast was a great addition. Very close to the tram transport options or a short walk to city and nearby shops and restaurants.

The exterior of this property is terrible and I was embarrassed I’d booked this for our friends. the lobby area is also run down. The room was clean and functional but also run down. The checkin staff were lovely. A great location but this is a very old property that needs updating.

Mixing sport and leisure at the Mantra, Canberra

Went down for a football (soccer) international and a visit to a few museums. Staff were very friendly and helpful to the point of finding me a phone charger and a bottle opener when I had forgotten mine. Aircon was a little noisy whirring away during the evening. Good that it was a few blocks away from the main centre so noise levels outside were minimal. Overall a good stay.

It was very dirty and shabby! Cons: Bathroom broken and dirty - grim. Swimming pool cold and dirty and access to it dark and dangerous to a woman on their own. Windows dirty with draft and condensation Poor daily cleaning - bin not emptied and cups not cleaned with poor bed making. Shower lukewarm and in the bath. Someone’s toothbrush left in shower. Very low standard hotel, I’d liken it to a run down UK holiday Inn. Pros: Reception staff friendly Really gross! Nothing like the Avenue next door where my friends stayed. I chose it fir the pool which was a joke.
Didn’t even refresh my tea supply or swap the cups with clean ones.
Weird quilt cover that was open at both ends.
