Fletcher S. Couples - 7/24/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We asked to be moved to a different apartment because of the extreme noise coming from the backpackers, playing loud music and their boom box. We moved for a third time to a quieter apartment which was Ok but we were very dissatisfied that there was no restaurant or bar in the complex. We will never go back to this hotel for other reasons as there MUST be better hotels with far better facilities AND it was very tired in appearance.

Dear S., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise that your stay did not meet your expectations. We understand how disruptive noise can be, and we're pleased our team was able to relocate you to a quieter apartment. We regret that it took multiple room moves before finding a suitable solution. We also appreciate your comments regarding the lack of an on-site restaurant and bar. While these facilities are not available at Mantra on the Esplanade, our central location provides easy access to a wide range of dining and entertainment options within walking distance. We apologise if this was disappointing. Your feedback regarding the condition of the property has also been noted and will be shared with our management team as we continually review opportunities to enhance our guest experience. Thank you again for your honest feedback. While we're sorry to hear you don't intend to return, we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to host your stay. Kind regards, Duty Manager Mantra on the Esplanade
