Siew-bock W. Couples - 6/15/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Thank you for your feedback, and for your loyalty as an ALL member Siew-Bock, We're pleased to hear you enjoyed a comfortable stay and found our location convenient. It's also encouraging to know that our reception team was generally responsive throughout your visit. At the same time, I am sorry for the confusion and frustration regarding the housekeeping schedule and towel replacement during your stay. While your booking was on a weekly service arrangement, we certainly understand your concerns regarding fresh towels during a six-night stay. I would also like to thank you for recognising our housekeeping team member who assisted you. I am delighted to hear that she was able to help and provide a positive solution. I will be sure to share your kind comments with the Housekeeping team. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us review how we communicate servicing arrangements and guest expectations more clearly. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you back to Mantra on Russell again soon. Warm regards, Arya Dwijaksara Operations Manager Mantra on Russell

Harida S. Families - 6/13/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Pros : excellent location, couldn’t fault the excellent friendly staff and they always tried to accommodate your requests efficiently Cons: Stayed for 4 nights, during check-in was told no housekeeping because I booked the “cheapest” rates. No mention when I made the booking and when I was looking at various accomodations websites for quotes,“daily housekeeping” was stated, but when I chose the lowest price option, no mention about “no housekeeping” included or additional charge if I want one. It made you feel like you’re being “punished” for getting the lowest rate by not having your apartment cleaned at least once during 4 nights stay! Front staff only mentioned if we needed towels and such, gave them a call. How about someone making our bed and cleaned the apartment at least once during our 4 nights stay? Had stayed various accomodations from 3-5 stars within the group and will get at least one day housekeeping for more than 2 nights. So this is a major turn off and being an ALL Accor member that had booked quite a few times at various locations, this is a first time and also misleading. Apartment was clean and spacious but overall outlook was tired and worn out, screaming a refresh update. Spacious bathroom but bathtub bottom had like a non-slip layer added to prevent it from being slippery but it was rough on the feet at some areas. If you have tender skin, watch out! No heater either so it was quite chilly after shower. Parking- it’s not exclusive to the accomodation. To go directly to the premise, you need to go park on level 5 of Wilsons parking to access lift directly to accommodation. Section for the accomodation was enclosed and you needed your room card to open the gate and enter. Yes, precious space right in CBD, but better system is needed. Advised by staff to get a ticket from the shared public parking by Wilson when entering and gave the ticket to the front staff for validation and they’ll give you another ticket to exit. When queried, you have to do this process each time you enter and exit the premises during the whole stay.

Dear Harida, Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback, and for your loyalty as an ALL Accor member. Firstly, I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed our central location and that our team made a positive impression. Your comments regarding the friendliness and willingness of our staff to assist are greatly appreciated. At the same time, I am sorry to learn that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. I understand your frustration regarding the housekeeping arrangements. In particular, I apologise if the servicing schedule was not clearly communicated during the booking process or upon arrival. We certainly do not want guests to feel that they are being penalised for selecting a particular rate, and I appreciate your feedback regarding the expectation of at least one service during a four-night stay. Your comments will be reviewed with both our Reservations and Operations teams to ensure clearer communication moving forward. I also appreciate your feedback regarding the condition of the apartment, bathroom fittings, and room amenities. While many guests enjoy the spacious layouts, we acknowledge that some areas of the property would benefit from future refurbishment, and your comments have been noted. Regarding parking, I understand the process can feel cumbersome, particularly for guests requiring multiple entries and exits during their stay. While the car park is operated by Wilson Parking, we are continually reviewing guest feedback to identify opportunities to improve the overall parking experience. We noticed your score of 60 and would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to learn more about how we could have made your stay a better one. Should you wish to discuss your experience further, please feel free to contact me directly at ar… Thank you again for your honest feedback and continued support of the Accor network. Warm regards, Arya Dwijaksara Operations Manager Mantra on Russell
