rooms not clean, 118 smells of mold, 618 A/C did not work so the room was hot. shower doesn't drain, not towels supplied, beds made as doubles and not singles as requested in the booking. No staff available for maintenance on the weekends.

Dear Mr. Warren, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your recent stay at Mantra on the Esplanade. I am sincerely sorry to learn of the numerous issues you experienced during your visit. The cleanliness concerns, mould odour in Room 118, malfunctioning air conditioning in Room 618, drainage issues in the shower, lack of towels, and the bedding configuration not matching your booking request are all unacceptable and do not reflect the standards we strive to deliver. I also understand your frustration regarding the limited availability of maintenance assistance over the weekend. We recognise the inconvenience this caused and appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. Please be assured that your comments have been shared with our housekeeping, maintenance, and management teams for immediate review and follow-up. Guest feedback is invaluable in helping us identify areas requiring improvement and ensuring corrective action is taken. Thank you again for your feedback. We regret that your experience fell short of expectations and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a significantly improved stay in the future. Kind regards, Rizky N Duty Manager

Rooms and facilities are very dated. No onsite restaurant.

Dear Alex, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent business stay with us. I am sorry to learn that your experience did not meet expectations, particularly regarding the booking process, the condition of the rooms and facilities, WiFi performance, and the absence of an onsite restaurant.

We appreciate your comments regarding the dated appearance of the property and accommodation. Feedback such as yours is important as it helps us identify areas where improvements are needed. I have shared your observations with our management team for review. I am pleased to see that our team members provided friendly service during your stay, and I will ensure your positive comments are passed on to them. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We value your loyalty as an ALL member and regret that this stay did not reflect the standard of experience we aim to provide.

Steve J. Business - 6/15/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall, not bad. But I was surprised to learn that the rooms were not serviced daily. Also, the hot water in the shower was very cool, on a touch off cold.

Dear Steve, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. We are pleased to hear that you found our location convenient and that your overall experience was satisfactory. We also appreciate your positive ratings for your accommodation, check-in, and departure experience. That said, we are sorry to learn that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment regarding the room servicing schedule and acknowledge that clearer communication about our housekeeping arrangements would have been beneficial. We also sincerely apologize for the issue you experienced with the shower water temperature. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and we will investigate this matter with our maintenance team to ensure it is addressed. Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the Wi-Fi speed. Reliable connectivity is particularly important for our business travellers, and your comments will be shared with the relevant team as we continue to review and improve our services. We appreciate your loyalty as an ALL-Gold member and Accor Vacation Club member and thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a more seamless experience in the future. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin
