Mantra French Quarter Noosa

We really loved this place. It's mostly geared up for families but we were at the rear of the property in the South Quarter on the top floor so we weren't disturbed at all by the kids in the pool or other rooms. The room was massive and had absolutely everything you could possibly want - great balcony where the lorakeets come and visit every morning - lounge/kitchenette with settee, sink, cooker, microwave, loads of cutlery and plates and bowls etc. A nice comfortable bed, and massive bathroom with a great shower and washing machine and tumble dryer. We didn't use the pool and apparently they had a restaurant but we didn't use it. There are loads of places to eat and drink right on the main street and a lot of shops. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the beach and the start of the walk that goes around the Noosa National Park - which is worth doing.

We had a pleasant week at French Quarter, we would have preferred to be up the front in the North wing over Hastings street, we have been staying regularly in the same apartment, this time to be positioned over the driveway was a bit disappointing.

stay annually. Only complaint spa too cold and we had ants in unit and courtyard.

We have stayed at Mantra French Quarter each year for close to 20 years. This trip was disappointing. As usual we paid for a Deluxe 2 Bedroom. The location was overlooking Hastings St and was located above the restaurant. The noise from the restaurant was consistent and most nights it sounded like we had a balcony filled with people. This is not ideal when we have 3 children and when we are on holidays. The spa bath also didn't work. There was also mould above the shower which made the main bedroom smell. I would think that this particular apartment, room 211 should not be classified as a Deluxe and guests should not be charged Deluxe.

Although the location was very good, we were not impressed with how dated and run down our room was. The room was quite dirty as well. When we arrived the shower had a clump of long hair on the wall, I moved the coffee table and there was a lot of dirt under it. We had a room right next to a room that was being renovated. It was very noisy but when it was mentioned to reception the staff immediately offered for us to change rooms the following day. We declined the offer as we were planning to be away all day from the resort and moving out the following day. I would stay here again because of the good car parking and the good location.
