Mantra Wings Surfers Paradise 4성

The rooms are old and outdated. Even the refurbished room wasn’t nice and smelt like mould. The bathrooms haven’t been updated at all. We checked in and checked straight out and got our money back. For the price there are much nicer and newer places to stay and I would not recommend. As we were leaving multiple bus loads of Indian tourists arrived and overwhelmed the lobby, I can only imagine what breakfast is like in the morning and you would struggle to get a seat or an egg. The upside is that the staff were lovely and very understanding and accomodating.

Qstay apartment via Airbnb. What a nightmare. Revolting on arrival. Feral carpet. Apartment definitely not clean. Had to leave immediately to purchase cleaning products just to try and have some sort of semblance of cleanliness. "Central air condition" was a tiny split system in the lounge. In addition, heaven only knows when that was last cleaned because the mould growing in it was like a rainforest. Broken roof fan in bedroom, broken blinds so we had no or limited privacy. There wasn't even a lock on the external door in one of the bedrooms. Mantra reception couldn't have been less interested, stating they didn't manage the apartments, just the external building components. Even though it's their name on the sign. We had the water pipe burst to the split system, completely saturating the loungeroom carpet, destroying the wall and TV cabinet. What did we get? Towels. Towels to mop up the gallons of water. The plumber took a couple of hours to fix, after removing plaster in our bathroom. Moved? No. Plumber was electrocuted from the TV PowerPoint under the split system. Me - Massive safety hazard for us to remain. Moved? No. Electrician attend to make safe? No. Couldn't have picked a worse place to stay. Sleeping in the park or the hire car probably would have been a better option. Wish that last review from Laura C or Rajvir G were up before we booked. Don't you get caught too.

We recently booked to stay at this apartment Mantra Wings which is managed by a third party - Q Stay in Sept 24 for a week. Group of 6 (3 adults, 3 kids). The apartment size itself was perfect for this size group, and the pool & onsite facilities such as gym, tennis court, bbq area that are NOT managed by Q Stay are fantastic however that’s where the positives stopped. We had asked for an early check in which we were more than happy to pay extra for, and received a text message advising that we could check in at 2pm (an hour earlier). We made the trip to the office to go and collect keys since it’s not located at the apartment building only to get there and be told that we couldn’t check in because something had come up with another guest and they were still waiting on keys to be returned. No phone call, no text message prior so we wasted our time. Not to mention the staff at the front office who couldn’t care less about it and were totally dismissive & rude. When we finally were able to get keys and checkin what we discovered inside the apartment left us in shock. The pictures really are deceiving, the place was filthy, dusty, kitchen cupboards grimey, dishes dirty, toilet had been used and not cleaned and a horrible smell that was coming from the bathroom and kitchen. We had already been grocery shopping to stock up for a weeks stay, when we discovered that the fridge didn’t seem to be cold. The freezer was working fine, but the fridge was not working and barely cold. The ceiling fan in 2 out of the 3 bedrooms were not working also. We called Q stay office right away to tell them about the fridge, the ceiling fans and how disgusting the place was. Again, not helpful, staff didn’t care at all, had a really bad attitude and basically said it’s a Sunday can’t do anything about it until Monday. So we spent the first night pretty uncomfortable with no fans in very hot rooms and a broken fridge. The cleaners came back to wipe a mark off the curtain, that’s it. Didn’t clean anything else. The Monday came around, and we spent the first half of our day waiting around the apartment because the office staff couldn’t be bothered calling or sending a message to advise that they had organised a maintenance person to come and that we didn’t need to be there. They ended up replacing the broken fridge, and sorting out 1 ceiling fan. The other ceiling fan remained broken and unusable for the entire stay. We discovered mould in the kitchen sink pipe that can been seen with a torch, and realised this is why we had little flea type bugs flying around the kitchen sink most of the time. All the exhaust fans in bathrooms and laundry caked with dust, and the light fittings also dirty with all dead bugs inside of them. The coffee, tea, sugar that is left for a guest to use - I wouldn’t feed it to my dog!! Old & stale the sugar sachets were so old that could you shake it upside down as much as you want, you were not getting any sugar out of it as it was all rock hard. We all ended up pretty sick by day 4, lots of sneezing, wheezing etc and this was due to the dust so if you have allergies this place will definitely not help. Location was not good either, no shops close by in walking distance, not even a coffee shop !! You had to take transport into Cavill avenue if you wanted to get food or use Uber eats. We asked for a partial refund from Q stay, as what we paid for this stay, was certainly not worth it. Of course, we were met with refusal right away. So we took the issue up with Airbnb support who were absolutely fantastic from the get go. Overall, very disappointed with this place, especially Q-Stay staff. Zero customer service, not sure who was worse, Chloe or Jess.. both very unprofessional, rude, and have terrible attitudes.

Do not book this property..lack of communication..no amenities provided. Moreover you will be scammed for additional $250 bond which will never be returned. They won't answer your calls or messages. They have few people putting the same complaint on their booking.com profile.

Everything was great until I have to try and fight for my bond of $250 back. BEWARE OF THIS PROPERTY MANAGER NAME JUNO! He has ghosted me after I checked out of hotel and tried to ask for the bond back. Booking.com does not help so be aware. I will take matters further if he does not cooperate. Found out that Mantra was not meant to take a bond in the first place. He has don’t this to so many people. Not refunding bond back so incase you decide to book with Mantra wings, don’t do it nd save yourself going through the stress like what I’m going through
