Rooms were spacious and clean. Very outdated hotel. Stayed for 3 nights, room was never made up despite putting sign on door requesting rooms to be attended to. Need to collect toilet paper and towels from reception yourself.

Gemma M. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Mantra on Northbourne is well located, however it was more run down than I had expected. I had a bad experience to begin with. Soon after I got there I went to use the oven and stove to cook dinner. It didn't work. I spoke to reception on the phone, although a little rude, they sent another person from reception to come and check, she was friendly enough. She couldn't work out why it wasn't working so asked me whether it would be ok for them to leave a note for the next day and send an electrician to have a look first thing the next morning. I said that was ok with me as I really wanted that fixed, I needed the kitchen facilities as it was the main reason I booked. We were still in our room until approx 10am and no-one had come. When I left for the day and went to reception to ask whether the electrician was coming and I had thought they'd be there first thing. The man at reception had no idea what I was talking about and said there had been no note left. I explained the situation and said that I had been told a note would be left and an electrician might come first thing. He said that he would contact an electrician and send them up during the day. I checked at reception on my return at the end of the day and was told it had been fixed and that it was a flipped switch in the electrically box, thats the reason it wasn't working. I also feel as though the place is run down. Our room had hair here and there, cobwebs near the ceilings, no scrim coverings on the window of one of the rooms. The kitchen wasn't very well catered for. For example, not enough pans for cooking. I have stayed in caravan parks that have more kitchen utensils, pots and pans etc. Harry was the only staff member there who was helpful and not grumpy and gruff. He was more than happy to find me a clothes horse to dry our clothes on and bring it up to our room. The cleaners were quite friendly also.

Dear Gemma, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I am sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations, particularly regarding the kitchen maintenance issue, cleanliness of the room, and the lack of communication between our team members. Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the delay in resolving the stove issue and for the condition of the room upon arrival. Your comments regarding housekeeping standards, kitchen equipment, staff friendliness, breakfast coffee, WiFi, and our sustainability practices have been noted and will be reviewed with the relevant teams. I would also like to thank you for recognizing Harry and our housekeeping team for their helpful and friendly service. I will be sure to share your kind comments with them. We appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us identify areas where we need to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a much better experience. Kind regards,

Catherine C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We were really disappointed with our recent stay. We stayed in an apartment with an adjoining hotel room for 4 nights. We used the dishwasher on Day 2, only to find that it leaked all over the kitchen floor. This was around 5pm on a Saturday. We tried to call for assistance but nobody answered the phone. My husband went downstairs to the front desk to seek assistance however he was told there was only one staff member on site at that time and they couldn't leave the front desk. He handed my husband a pile of towels to sop up the water all over the floor and said he would come up in an hour when a second staff member would be available. He never came up. To make matters worse, our room wasn't serviced on the Sunday, even though daily servicing was included in our rate. So we were then left with sopping wet piles of towels for another day. I wonder if the dishwasher was ever repaired or if this cycle will continue for the next visitor?

Dear Catherine, Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the leaking dishwasher, the lack of follow-up assistance and the missed Light room service. We understand how disappointing this must have been, especially when you were expecting these issues to be taken care of during your stay. Your feedback has been taken seriously and will help us review our maintenance response and service standards. We sincerely apologise that we let you down and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Kind regards, Nell Mantra on Northbourne Management

Sam A. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

I've been to much better Mantras than this one. Don't be fooled by the rating; this is not a 4-star hotel. Rooms aren't cleaned properly; there are lots of small budget repairs around the room; the sheets are stained; the beds are terrible to sleep on; the blackout curtains are above the bed, so you get heaps of light coming in through the gap. I checked out early and went to another hotel. I stayed in the "premium apartment"; the hotel rooms look better than the apartments.

Dear Sam, Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m sorry that the condition and cleanliness of your apartment fell short of expectations and that your stay was disappointing enough for you to leave early. This is not the experience we want our guests to have. Your comments regarding the bedding, curtains and room maintenance have been taken on board to help us identify areas for improvement. We appreciate you recognising our team and location, and sincerely apologise that we let you down in other areas. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better and provide a more enjoyable experience on a future visit. Kind regards, Mantra on Northbourne Managment

Allan C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Waited unnecessarily long for check in, then reservation could not be found. Told that complimentary drink would be in room. When I returned at 9pm and found no refreshment in room, called reception and was told that as I was a late booking, there was no time to put the welcome drink in the room and I could come down to reception to pick it up. I advised her that I was in a state of semi undress, and would not be coming down

Dear Allan, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sincerely sorry for the delays at check-in and the confusion surrounding your welcome drink. We understand how frustrating this must have been, and we apologise that the service you received did not meet expectations. Your comments have been taken on board, particularly regarding the efficiency and attentiveness of our team.

Disa H. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

I chose the Mantra on Northbourne because my preferred accommodation location was fully booked. The Mantra was convenient to locations we planned to visit while in Canberra. That is the most positive aspect of our stay. The next positive experience was at check in with Sophie. Her customer experience shined! The rooms (2 bedroom unit) were dusty and outdated. The pool was extremely outdated but functional and we did utilize it daily. Our accommodations included 2 children under 13, complimentary breakfast at the buffet to which we were questioned several times about our children’s ages (11&8) three different employees had three different opinions on the rules. I then pulled out my booking information which clearly stated the Children’s policy. 🙄 At one point our TV remote stopped working and I called down to guest services for battery replacement. I was told to come down to the front desk and they would be replaced. When I showed the front desk employee the remote, she said it worked and I would have to follow the tiny hard to see directions on the remote to reset the remote to work again. I have never experienced anything like this in my years of travel. Very odd! Overall the stay was safe and convenient but definitely not up to our normal standards for accommodation.

Dear Disa, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location and that Sophie provided a welcoming and positive check-in experience. We will certainly pass on your kind comments to her. However, we are sorry to learn that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Please accept our apologies regarding the cleanliness of the apartment, the condition of the facilities, the confusion surrounding the children's breakfast policy, and the assistance you received regarding the TV remote. Your feedback highlights areas where we need to improve, and we will be reviewing these concerns with the relevant teams. We appreciate your honest comments and thank you for choosing to stay with us. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. Kind regards,

Stacy F. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We found the hotel room (917) to be very dated and VERY dark, even during the day. Needs better lighting, had banged up walls, dust all over the carpet along the wall, windows were filthy, bathroom had mould in the shower, the shower head wouldn't stay upright, had to almost lean it against wall to keep it upright. Two very different beds were pushed together to make a king, most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept in. We also had to call reception 3 times from 8pm - 11pm due to the noise from the neighbours in 918. They had kids jumping on the beds and hitting the wall which shook the bedhead in our room and kept waking us up, the walls were so thin. Nothing seemed to be done about it even after calling. The hotel itself stunk of something, some sort of food. The pool is in the basement, freezing cold, looks so dark and dingy down there, it's accessed via the fire escape stairs. Not worth even mentioning they have a pool to be honest. The staff at breakfast were not friendly at all. I asked for some fried eggs for my son and it was such an inconvenience for her. Not sure how this is rated a 4 star or even a 3.7 on some sites. Parking was $20 a night for a garage that was strictly for Mantra customers. Why charge?We booked for 3 nights and left early.

Dear Stacy, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are very disappointed to learn that your stay did not meet your expectations and sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced. We are particularly concerned by your comments regarding the cleanliness of the room, bathroom condition, lighting, bed comfort, noise disturbances, and your breakfast experience. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide. Please be assured that your feedback has been shared with the relevant department managers for immediate review and follow-up. We are also sorry for the confusion regarding the sofa bed bedding charge and understand your frustration. Your comments regarding parking, facilities, and overall value have been noted and will be considered as part of our ongoing improvements.

The room was extremely spacious and the staff left me a cupcake since it was my birthday which was really nice.

One of our rooms was double booked so strangers walked into our room in the middle of night. This was followed by a visit from hotel staff to explain the room was double booked but with no apology. Rooms are very dated.

We again would like to sincerely apologise for the room allocation error during your stay. We understand how unsettling it must have been to have other guests enter your room, particularly during the night, and we are very sorry that this occurred We also regret that our follow-up communication did not include the level of apology and reassurance you deserved. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we have addressed this incident with our team to help prevent a similar situation from happening again. Furthermore we are continually reviewing opportunities for upgrades and improvements, and guest feedback plays an important role in guiding these efforts We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with the comfortable and seamless experience our guests should expect Kind Regards The Mantra on Northbourne Management Team
