Christos L. Couples - 14/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I'm here for an extended furlough from my work with News Corp's Brisbane branch on compassionate leave due to mother being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, so we had to have a base camp to co-ordinate things to do with getting her affairs in order, whilst balancing my work commitments at the same time. The hotel could not have been more accommodating and understanding of our situation and helpful to our specific needs and requests, especially under the current pandemic situation. Much appreciated, everyone. Well done. And nice meeting you, Mark. My partner Rita is from your neck of the woods in Tamworth. (such a small world!) We highly staying here to anyone and everyone!

Hi Christos Thank you for your review and we are glad have you with us for another month. It is our pleasure to look after you and Rita during this critical time. Please do feel free to contact us shall you require anything else. Regards Dinesh

Front desk staff uninterested and each day gave conflicting answers to questions and kept apologising for previous answers given.

Robert P. Business - 09/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Terrible room carpets old and disgusting room facilities very limited I understand that this is due to Covid however I think it was just a convenient answer. Staff unhelpful more interested in talking amongst themselves than caring about the customers who pay their wages. Conflicting answers given to questions and lack of knowledge on simple questions such as nearest place to buy a paper were at the least very frustrating. Overall for the price paid absolutely a joke, and lack of customer satisfaction non existent.

Dear Robert P., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mantra Bell City Preston.

Due to COVID-19 we had to remove few amenities in the guest room and in the lobby to reduce the spread and I apologize that it was not explained on the arrival although they are available on request at Front Desk. I have already discussed your feedback with the team to ensure that we inform each guest of the protocol. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Dinesh

I stayed for a total of 12 nights in the Manta 6th floor. The view was great and the room comfortable with a feeling of spaciousness. Staff were polite and helpful and the Chill cafe next door had excellent coffee and snacks. I will be returning to Melbourne in Augusta and will choose to stay here again.

Poor facilities

Andrew M. Business - 30/06/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The overall experience was disappointing I had to ask for a different room due to the cleanliness and size of the bathroom . The second room was also very unclean but I did not complain as it’s not in my nature. The hotel was under renovation that I was not informed of before my arrival and led to facilities Not being available on top of Covid 19 restrictions. I found the hole experience disappointing and expensive for the facilities provided as I had paid for an upgraded room before my arrival. Had I known the hotel was in disrepair and under renovation I would have stayed somewhere else The staff were very friendly and as helpful as they could be. Kind regards Andrew m.

Richard Business - 29/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I expected more given the price and other ratings. It was where I needed the hotel to be so that was why I went to it. The bathroom was poor (shower curtain, small, and flooding). The breakfast was subpar considering other hotels that are of equivalent price.

Overall good stay but a little shabby

Tc Families - 28/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed in Manhattan room with a kitchen, table, couch and study/laptop work area- large bright room, clean and stylish if very plain decoration. Very quiet, reception very happy to help out when needed, housekeeping excellent Finish let the room down- patches on wall not painted, bathroom looking old, broken shower curtain, bathroom door didn’t close... bed mattress initially comfortable but had a large visible sag in the middle so I had a sore back after few nights, and vouch was very uncomfortable. Overall was a good stay at reasonable price but feel like it could have been better.

Dear Thank you for your 5 Star Review! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and our convenient location. We appreciate your business and look forward to your return.
