We have stayed at previous Mantra locations before and had such lovely experiences. We booked this location (Central) for our wedding night and absolutely regretted it. No shower curtain so the bathroom was always covered in water. The hotel building and room smelled horrendous and was just overall not up to par with cleanliness. Will not be booking this location again.

Was well located but the quality of the accommodation was below ACCOR standards, and not what I would expect from ACCOR. The rooms were dated and in need of a paint, in the bathroom the toilet role holder had obviously been broken, so the toilet paper was just on one side of the old holder. In the hallway on the way to the room there was a large stain in the carpet, and the hallway had a pungent smell.

The location was perfect, however, in the reception/lifts had a very bad smell, most likely coming from the restaurant inside the reception area. The room wasn't cleaned properly with hair left in the drains and the toilets didn't flush properly. This is definitely not four star accomodation as advertised and should not be charging a premium for a non-premium product. Unfortunately I don't think I will stay here again.

Unfortunately the room was very poorly maintained with a plastic sheet above the bath and strange pipes. We were checked into a room after another guest and found her undressing in the room.The bed was very bouncy and the bedding poor with a doona with no cover and a blanket that would be used over and over again.

The location was good and convenient, but unfortunately, the hotel itself was outdated and didn’t meet my expectations. The studio room had an unpleasant smell, the couch had visible stains, and the bathroom was in need of an upgrade. The shower also needed a curtain or door, as water kept spilling onto the bathroom floor. The aircon also didn’t work. Overall, my stay was disappointing. While the location was positive, the cleanliness and condition of the room really let the experience down. I would have expected a much better standard of accommodation.

Dear Guest Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your stay did not meet your expectations. While we’re pleased that you found our location convenient, we’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the room, including the unpleasant smell, stained couch, bathroom condition, water spilling from the shower, and non-functioning air conditioning. Had the air conditioning issue been reported to us during your stay, we would have been happy to assist and arrange for it to be addressed. Regarding the bathroom, we understand your concerns and would like to let you know that renovations are currently being considered as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the accommodation. We have also arranged for professional carpet and couch cleaning in the room to improve its cleanliness and condition.

Booking Experience and Loyalty Programme The booking process through the Accor app was straightforward, and I had no issues making the reservation itself. However, my experience with the loyalty programme and technical support has been extremely disappointing. I attempted to transfer my Telstra Plus points to Accor to help progress my membership status. Unfortunately, the process does not work. The Accor app requires two-factor authentication via SMS, but the verification text never arrives, preventing me from completing the transfer. I have been trying to resolve this for approximately a week and have received no meaningful response or assistance from the IT support team. For a major hotel group such as Accor, this is an incredibly frustrating experience. A loyalty programme should encourage customers to engage with the brand, not create barriers that prevent them from doing so. Accommodation and Overall Stay I stayed at Mantra Sydney Central from 20 to 22 October 2026 for a business trip, and the condition of the accommodation was genuinely dreadful. Upon arriving at my level-one room, I found a beer keg sitting outside the door. Walking into the apartment was an immediate shock. It looked nothing like the photos advertised online. The interior looked more like a cheap, hourly room-rental establishment than accommodation associated with an established hotel group. To be completely frank, the atmosphere was so unpleasant and uninviting that it looked like the sort of place where you would expect to find a crime scene. That is not an attempt to be dramatic. It genuinely was that bad. The cold, blue-white lighting made the apartment feel even more clinical and depressing. The bed linen and covers were poor quality, visibly contributing to the dated and unappealing appearance of the room. The walls were dirty, and the overall presentation suggested a serious lack of maintenance. Worse still, the apartment smelt strongly of cigarette smoke. It was apparent that the room had either not been properly cleaned or adequately ventilated before my arrival. This is simply unacceptable for accommodation being offered to paying guests. I requested to be moved to another room, hoping for an improvement. Unfortunately, the replacement room smelt of mould, and mould appeared to be coming through the air conditioning. The walls and general condition of the apartment only reinforced my concerns about cleanliness and maintenance. As it was approximately 9 pm, I had little practical choice but to stay. I ended up going to the supermarket to purchase cleaning products, including disinfectant spray, so I could clean the surfaces I would be touching. Having to buy cleaning products and clean a hotel room myself just to feel comfortable staying there is an extraordinary failure of basic hospitality standards. The night itself was equally disappointing. The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable, and external city noise repeatedly disturbed my sleep. Between the condition of the room, the uncomfortable bedding and the noise, I was unable to get a decent night’s rest. The property is incredibly dated and clearly requires substantial refurbishment. However, this goes beyond outdated furnishings or a hotel that could benefit from a modern refresh. Cleanliness, ventilation, mould concerns and the overall condition of the rooms are fundamental requirements that should never be compromised. I booked specifically because Accor was offering 20% off stays of two nights or more. Had I known what the accommodation was actually like, I would never have booked this property, regardless of the discount. Final Thoughts I work in the travel industry and travel regularly for business. I deliberately chose an Accor property because I wanted to build my relationship with the group and progress my membership status. Instead, both the loyalty programme experience and the accommodation have seriously undermined my confidence in the brand. I want to acknowledge that the reception staff were extremely apologetic and professional throughout the experience. They were the only positive aspect of an otherwise appalling stay. Unfortunately, their efforts could not compensate for the condition of the accommodation, and there were no suitable alternative rooms available. I will not stay at this property again, nor will I recommend it to colleagues or other travellers. I strongly encourage Accor management to investigate the condition of this property, particularly the cleanliness of the rooms, the cigarette smoke, the mould concerns and the discrepancy between the accommodation advertised online and what guests actually receive. I would also appreciate a response addressing the ongoing technical issues preventing me from transferring my Telstra Plus points to my Accor account. The booking process itself was easy, but a smooth reservation means very little when the accommodation is so far below an acceptable standard. This experience has left me deeply disappointed in both Mantra Sydney Central and the wider Accor brand.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your stay at Mantra Sydney Central. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your kind recognition of our reception team, who we are pleased to hear provided professional and supportive service throughout your stay. We value all guest feedback as an opportunity to improve, and we are sorry to hear that several aspects of the accommodation fell short of the standard you expected. We acknowledge your concerns regarding the room condition, cleanliness, ventilation, bedding and overall presentation. Please be assured that your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams as we continue working towards improving the guest experience. Regarding the beer keg found in the corridor, Mantra Sydney Central is located within a shared building that also accommodates other residents. We also came across the keg and have since removed it. Unfortunately, we were unable to identify who it belonged to, as Mantra Sydney Central does not operate a bar on-site. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologise for the inconvenience it caused. We are also sorry to learn of the difficulties you have experienced when attempting to transfer your Telstra Plus points to your Accor account. We understand how important a smooth loyalty experience is, particularly when you are looking to build your membership status. We are following up with our loyalty team to seek their assistance with the points transfer and the SMS verification issue. We hope to help you find a suitable resolution so you can continue enjoying the benefits of the ALL Accor programme. We appreciate that you chose Mantra Sydney Central as part of your ongoing relationship with Accor, and we regret that this stay has affected your confidence in our brand. Your feedback regarding the accommodation and the difference between your expectations and experience is important to us, and we are committed to using it constructively to identify areas for improvement. Thank you again for sharing your concerns and for recognising the efforts of our reception team. We hope that, with continued improvements and assistance from our loyalty team, we may have the opportunity to restore your confidence in Mantra and Accor in the future. Kind regards Mantra Sydney Central
