Fiona F. Friends - 5/22/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room was extremely comfortable but our toilet was leaking & the room smelt of sewerage. Reported it to reception.

Thank you for your feedback Fiona, We’re pleased to hear you found the room comfortable and enjoyed our convenient location close to the music venue. At the same time, I sincerely apologise for the issue with the leaking toilet and the sewerage smell in the room. I understand how unpleasant and disappointing this would have been during your stay. Thank you as well for reporting this to reception so the team could follow up. Your comments have been shared with our maintenance team for urgent review and attention. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Mantra on Russell again soon. Warm regards, Arya Dwijaksara Operations Manager Mantra on Russell

Andrej B. Business - 5/21/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was my third time in Melbourne and always in this hotel due to location. The bathtubs are aged/old with flaking paint. They would require more attention for maintenance/repairs. The rest of the apartment is in good and well equipped.

Thank you for staying with us again and for taking the time to share your feedback Andrej, It’s great to hear you continue to choose Mantra on Russell for your visits to Melbourne because of the location, and I’m pleased the apartment overall suited your stay well. I’m also really happy to hear our reception team member looked after you so well and assisted with the invoice changes as promised. At the same time, I do appreciate your honest comments regarding the bathtub condition. I completely understand how the flaking paint would affect the overall impression of the room, and I agree it’s something that needs attention. We are currently reviewing bathroom upgrade works across the property, including the bath and shower areas. Thank you again for your continued support and feedback. We’d also love to know what we could do better to make your next stay a perfect experience. Warm regards, Arya Dwijaksara Operations Manager Mantra on Russell

Oshea T. Families - 5/18/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Reception staff were outstanding and helpful. We were surprised our towels were not changed during our 4 night stay. Our TV didn't work, we have already advised reception of this.

Thank you for your lovely feedback Oshea, We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our great location and that our reception team made such a positive impression with their helpful service. At the same time, I’m sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the towels not being refreshed during your four-night stay, as well as the television not working properly. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. I appreciate you already bringing the TV issue to the attention of reception, and your comments have been shared with the relevant teams for follow-up. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Mantra on Russell again soon. Warm regards, Arya Dwijaksara Operations Manager Mantra on Russell

David M. L. Business - 5/14/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Great staff as always. Thanks for the stay.

Dear David, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, and for your loyalty as an ALL Gold member—we truly appreciate your continued support. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed another great stay with us and that our team once again made a positive impression. I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to our night shift team, she will be very pleased to know her welcoming service continues to make your stays memorable. Thank you again for your perfect score and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back to Mantra on Russell again soon. Warm regards, Arya Dwijaksara Operations Manager Mantra on Russell

Anthony B. Business - 5/13/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

As above the room and hotel was great but the noise coming from outside was so loud it was very hard to sleep.

Thank you for your feedback Anthony, We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the room and the hotel overall. At the same time, I’m sorry to hear the external noise impacted your sleep and comfort during your stay. Being located in the heart of the CBD does mean there can occasionally be some late-night city noise, however we completely understand how frustrating this can be when trying to rest. Please be assured that we are currently investigating the room location and reviewing what improvements can be made to help minimise noise disturbance for future stays. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Mantra on Russell again in the future. Warm regards, Arya Dwijaksara Operations Manager Mantra on Russell
