Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin 4.5 stars

Too expensive considering there’s no restaurant

Had a wonderful stay and would recommend to all our friends. Staff always helpful and very polite. Hotel very close to all eating and drinking venues.

First time in Darwin. Hotel was in a fantastic location. Staff at check in and check out very friendly and great service. We booked an ocean front 1 bedroom apartment, was fantastic, very clean and bed very comfortable. Close to shops and restaurants.

Ocean view, Spacious room. Enjoyed the pool and location excellent. Lacked a few things in apartment eg no cold water on fridge, no minibar , not enough teabags, milk or sugar for the week however staff accommodating in providing more. Overall would recommend as a great place to stay.

Initially I was put facing the Back-Packer sites where they had extremely loud karaoke, mixed with screaming, cheering shouting and arguments until 1am. After begging to get moved away, the hotel did put me on the other side of the hotel, but permanent residents partying, screaming, arguing with others, loud music etc meant another impossible night to sleep. I called reception only to find that they could not help as these were permanent residential apartments. I will not stay here again, I am exhausted.

Enjoyed territory day with you!

We had planned a week away to the NT to play golf and introduce three members of our group to the NT lifestyle.

Nice hotel in great position

Was very impressed with the view and our apartment. Staff were always helpful.

Our stay was great. The staff were very helpful and happy to help. Unfortunately the circumstances are difficult with COVID but we tried to follows the rules etc and our stay was great.

lovely room and great view. staff very friendly . just ashamed the restaurant and bar was not opened.

Friendly staff. There is no food or beverage other than a coke machine in the foyer. Luckily plenty of options just outside the hotel.

We stayed for six nights in a standard harbour view hotel room as Accor Live Limitless members. Firstly we will go with the pros of our stay: The room was pleasantly furnished and roomy. The bed was comfortable and the hotel was within walking distance from the City Mall, restaurants, bars and the Waterfront area. We had a nice view of the Esplanade and the harbour from our room. The lighting in the bathroom was great and there was a non-slip rubber mat in the bath. Now for the cons: On arrival there was no complimentary welcome drinks as the bar was closed indefinitely. No meals were available on site as the restaurant was closed indefinitely. Not even breakfast to our room was on offer. There was absolutely no room service given during our entire stay. We made our own bed every day and had to request fresh towels from reception when our towels became too wet to use. We also had to ask for replacement bags for the rubbish bins that we had to empty ourselves. At no time was the room vacuumed nor was the toilet, bath or hand-basin cleaned. Even though we were expected to be self-sufficient, there was no detergent and tea towel for washing our coffee cups or a toilet brush to clean the toilet. There were two dull bedside lamps and and an overhead light over the bed, the only other lighting in the living area was a lamp near the window. Consequently the room was quite dim all the time. Our hanging cupboard contain five coat-hangers so we visited the local Supermarket and purchased a cheap pack of 10 coat-hangers so we did not have to live out of our suitcases for seven days. We did not let our disappointment in our accommodation spoil our holiday stay in Darwin, but would not stay at the Mantra on the Esplanade again nor recommend it to others.

The environment is ok. Cleaner is friendly. Need to repeatedly remind front desk re: room cleaning service. Front desk staff not familiar with surrounding environment when they were asked about surrounding restaurants available. Went for meal at the sister site, not a really good experience - long waiting time, staff does not seem to be aware of arrangement (perhaps not happy with arrangement as creating more workload).

great apartments with everything you could need for a short or long stays with the family i could not recommend this enough. staff were really great to deal with and very helpful so thank you- close to town and shops what ever you need it is all walking distance - there is also electric scooters out the front of the hotel allowing you access to all of the darwin CBD
