We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location. However, we are sorry to hear that the condition of the room did not meet your expectations on this occasion. Please accept our apologies for the issues you experienced with the refrigerator, bathroom exhaust fan, sofa, and scuff marks on the walls. We understand how these details can impact your overall stay. Your feedback has been shared with our maintenance and housekeeping teams for review and follow-up.

Ebony Z. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Dear Ms Z., Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent stay at Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin. I am pleased to hear that you found your room clean and enjoyed the amazing view. However, I am very sorry that several aspects of your stay fell short of expectations. In particular, I apologise that your request for two single beds was not accommodated, and that you were not provided with your room number at reception. We also regret that the contact information provided to you directed you to Mantra Pandanas rather than our property. I appreciate how frustrating this would have been upon arrival, and we will review our check-in and guest information processes with the team. Your comments regarding the underground car park are particularly concerning. The odour and presence of feral cats are not the standard we want for our guests, particularly when the car park is a paid facility. We will raise these concerns with the relevant team and investigate the situation, including the issue of feeding the cats. I am also sorry to hear about your experience regarding smoking near the swimming pool. We take our non-smoking policy seriously and will address your comments with our security team. I acknowledge your feedback regarding the absence of an onsite restaurant and the televisions in the rooms as well. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the appropriate management teams as we consider future improvements to the property. Thank you again for your honest feedback. While we are disappointed that we did not provide the experience you expected, your comments are valuable in helping us identify where improvements are needed. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin

I have stayed here many times in the past and TBH the property seems a little tired. We were in room 312 and the fridge didn't seem cold enough despite being on the coldest setting and the exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work. The sofa was very marked and there were scuff marks on the walls.

Rooms were clean, view was amazing. Asked for 2 single beds, not a queen, that was not provided. Underground car park was disgusting, smelt like cat urine and feces, someone is purposely feeding the feral cats which is enticing them into the car park, a car park you charge a fee to use!! Room number was not provided at desk, had to call number on paper provided which was for mantra pandans NOT on esplanade. Disappointing there was no restaurant onsite. Advised it was a non smoking hotel, but security guard was smoking out near swimming pool at 8:30pm. I don’t feel it was anyway near worth the $$ that I paid. Suggest you upgrade TV’s to smart tvs.

No attempt at upgrading me. The air conditioning vents were putrid. I reported the dishwasher not working and after nearly 3 weeks and multiple complaints was advised it needs replacing.

Well located and great views. Had issues with both the water temperature in the shower and an extremely noisy air conditioning. Unfortunately they were unable to fix the water temperature , it went hot and cold without warning, but we were moved due to the air conditioning. The new room was fine. Water was still an issue but it was better. We were told the water temperature was a known issue.

Room was just okay, hot water in the shower was limited some days nothing. Shower needs re grouting water is actually going under the tiles. Air conditioning in the bedroom sounded like a helicopter if you had it on high. The basement parking was horrendous with the smell of cat poop and urine, the cats are sleeping all over the cars and the hotel is encouraging the cats by feeding them.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We regret the issues you experienced with the hot water and the shower. We will have the shower inspected for the grouting and any water penetration under the tiles, and we’ll also review the hot water supply to prevent this from happening again. We’re also sorry about the noise from the bedroom air conditioning. We understand how disruptive this can be, particularly at night, and we’ll have the unit checked. Regarding the basement parking, we sincerely apologise for the unpleasant smells and the condition you encountered. We understand your concerns regarding the cats and the impact this had on your experience. We will raise this with the relevant team and review how the situation is being managed. Your feedback is appreciated and will help us address these issues and improve the experience for our guests.

Great location in Darwin, off Mitchell Street. Clean comfortable room with bar fridge, iron and ironing board, tea and coffee jug and milk. Room 502 tended to get the noise from the lifts and needed better door seals, likewise the nightclub could also be heard on the window side but the bed was so comfy I slept well. Would be nice if the pool was open later and I didn't receive any passwords for the free Wi-Fi. I stayed 3 nights as an Accor member.

I travel a lot and stay at many Mantras and other Accor properties. This would be the least memorable for a number of reasons. The day of check in was chaotic and our room wasn’t ready. The individual on the front desk was well out of his depth. Once we were in there was no welcome drink even though it was meant to be in the fridge. All ok stuff happens. That evening the air conditioner started leaking and by the look of the ceiling and wall had been for an extended time. We then had a blower in the room to dry it out. We thankfully didn’t see to be in the room other than to sleep. On the second last day reception said that they had been trying to contact us but obviously only calling the room and not my phone or email. The offer was to move us next week 2 days after we were due to leave. This was the most overpriced stay in a substandard Mantra I have had. In the past I would have requested a refund but I am just disappointed in it all.

Dear Mr T., Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent stay at Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin. I am very sorry that your experience fell so far short of the standard you should reasonably expect, particularly as a valued Platinum ALL member and a frequent guest of Mantra and Accor properties. I sincerely apologise for the difficulties you experienced from arrival onwards. Having your room unavailable at check-in, not receiving the welcome amenity, and then experiencing an air-conditioning leak that had evidently affected the room for some times are all disappointing. The need to have a blower operating in your room would have further detracted from your stay. I am also concerned by the communication around the issue. Being contacted only through the room phone, without an effective alternative means of communication, and being offered a room move after your scheduled departure understandably did not provide a meaningful solution. Your comments regarding the need for our team to be more proactive, welcoming and focused on providing solutions are well noted. We are equally disappointed that the Wi-Fi information and access did not meet your expectations. I have shared your feedback with the relevant teams so that these points can be reviewed and addressed. It is particularly disappointing to hear that, despite your previous positive experiences with Mantra and Accor properties, this was your least memorable stay and left you feeling that the accommodation did not represent the value you paid for. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and giving us the opportunity to understand where we fell short. Thank you again for your candid feedback. We genuinely value your loyalty to Accor and hope we can have the opportunity to provide you with the level of service and experience you have come to expect from us on a future visit. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin

Check-in was smooth and the evening staff member was helpful. My room was booked with meals included, and dinner worked perfectly. I ordered from the menu provided through reception, and the lady who delivered it was fantastic. The morning was a different story. When I called to order breakfast, the staff member on shift was dismissive and told me the hotel doesn't supply food and to go to a café. I brought him the Mantra menu from my room showing breakfast. He said he'd try, then called back to say he couldn't help. He then lectured me on hotel policies and procedures instead of solving the problem. I went to the Novotel next door, where staff told me Mantra sources its meals from a local café for breakfast and the order could have been placed. I ended up having breakfast at the Novotel. At check-out the same staff member asked me for information that had already been collected at check-in, and made it clear he considered finding it an inconvenience. Telling a guest to "just go to a café" without knowing why the room was booked with meals is not acceptable. There could be health, mobility or work reasons behind it. I stay with Accor regularly, and this one staff member undid an otherwise good stay. I won't be returning to Mantra Darwin. The morning shift needs training on customer service and on how meal-inclusive bookings actually work.

Dear Mr Rowe, Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback following your recent stay at Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin. I am pleased to hear that your arrival and check-in were smooth, and that our evening team member and the lady who delivered your dinner provided the helpful service you expected. However, I am very sorry that this positive experience was undermined by your interaction with our morning team member. In particular, I sincerely apologise that you were unable to access the breakfast included with your booking. Having been provided with a menu in your room, it was understandably frustrating to then be told that breakfast could not be arranged, particularly when you subsequently received different information regarding how breakfast orders are fulfilled. The manner in which this was communicated to you also clearly fell short of the level of service we expect from our team. I am equally sorry that your experience at departure was unsatisfactory, including being asked to provide information that had already been collected at check-in. We appreciate your comments regarding the importance of understanding a guest's circumstances rather than simply directing them elsewhere, and I have taken note of your concerns regarding customer service, communication and knowledge of our meal-inclusive arrangements. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant management team for review and follow-up with the staff involved. We will use your comments to reinforce our expectations around service, ownership of guest requests and ensuring our team members understand the arrangements associated with different booking inclusions. As a Platinum member of ALL – Accor Live Limitless and a regular Accor guest, we particularly regret that this stay did not reflect the experience you should reasonably expect from us. I understand from your comments that you do not currently intend to return to Mantra Darwin, but I hope we may have the opportunity at some point to restore your confidence in our hotel and our team. Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin

We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. If you give us a chance to earn back your trust, I can assure you that we will do our best to give you the great hotel experience that so many of our guests have grown so fond of. Sincerely,

Amanda M. H. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The rooms are tired. The bathrooms dated. No mixer taps. No water saving shower rose. Kitchen old and pokey. The lighting is extremely poor especially in the lounge areas. Air con was either too cold or too hot. One area of the room there was no airflow. This is required in the heat of darwin. Location was good however they need a cafe downstairs. There was no room service for a 3 night stay and you really should have one. We ran out of washing powder, toilet paper and tissues which we got when we asked for them. The washing machine leaked and was not repaired or changed despite us letting them know. Lounge chairs are stained and not comfortable at all.

Dear Ms H., Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your three-night family stay with us. I am sorry that your experience at Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin fell well short of expectations. Your comments highlight a number of areas where we need to improve, both in the condition of our facilities and in the service and communication provided by our team. We acknowledge your concerns regarding the age and condition of the room, including the bathroom, kitchen, lighting, lounge furniture and air conditioning. We also apologise that the washing machine was leaking and, despite being brought to our attention, was not repaired or replaced during your stay. This is particularly disappointing, and we are following up on this matter with our maintenance team. We also take your comments regarding cleanliness and the lack of essential supplies seriously. While we are pleased that additional washing powder, toilet paper and tissues were provided when requested, these are items that should be adequately supplied for the duration of a three-night stay. Your feedback about your arrival experience is equally important. We should have provided clearer information at check-in about accessing your room, using the lift and room keys, connecting to Wi-Fi and the facilities available within the hotel. We also apologise for the experience you had when disposing of rubbish. Our team should be willing to assist with simple requests rather than directing guests elsewhere unnecessarily. The unreliable Wi-Fi is another concern we are addressing, particularly as reliable internet access is an important expectation for our guests. We appreciate that some of your comments relate to longer-term improvements and refurbishment, including the bathrooms, taps, shower fittings, lighting and room facilities. These comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant management teams as part of our ongoing property improvement planning. We are sorry that your stay left you with such a poor overall impression, particularly as you chose to book directly with us and are an ALL – Accor Live Limitless member. Your feedback gives us a clear understanding of where the guest experience did not meet expectations, and we appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience should you choose to stay with us again in the future. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin

Was there for 6 nights didn't get fresh towels were told rooms serviced after 7 days, tea coffee not replenished, outside spa not working, said there was restaurant/bar but there wasn't. staff not very welcoming, room okay was clean. All in all it was pretty ordinary compared to other Mantras I have stayed in.

Dear Narelle K., Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your six-night stay with us at Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin. I am pleased to hear that you found the booking process through the ALL-Accor app easy, and that you were satisfied with the cleanliness of your room, the pool, Wi-Fi, and your check-out experience. That said, I am very sorry that your overall stay did not meet your expectations, particularly compared with your previous experiences at other Mantra properties. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience regarding the towels and in-room supplies. While our standard housekeeping schedule may differ from other properties, we understand that guests staying for several nights still require access to fresh towels and replenishment of essential tea and coffee supplies. We will review how this information is communicated to guests and ensure appropriate arrangements are available during longer stays. We also apologise that the outdoor spa was unavailable during your visit. We understand how disappointing this would have been, particularly when you were expecting to have access to the facilities advertised. We are equally concerned by your comments regarding the restaurant and bar facilities and the impression that our team was not welcoming. We strive to provide warm and helpful service, and your feedback will be shared with our team as an opportunity to improve. We appreciate your loyalty to Accor and your feedback regarding the level of recognition received as an ALL member. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will use them to improve the guest experience. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope you will consider staying with us again and allow us the opportunity to provide you with the welcoming and comfortable experience you should expect from Mantra. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin

Email re check in instruction, no reply i called on how to check in. Our room was old but comfortable, the bathroom wall tiles need a good scrub and the stained bathroom mat needs to be thrown out. No face washers in our room had to ask twice but we did receive them. Pool area very nice but the spa does not work . For a Accor hotel it needs updating. Top location.

Dear Sylvia, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you found our location convenient and your room comfortable.

Christopher M. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

I stayed there for six nights, and during this time experienced the following: 1. No room cleaning services during my stay; I ran out of toilet paper. 2. One night, when returning to the hotel, there was no water in my room; I could not shower or even have a glass of water. At the very least, I would expect a bottle of water to drink.

Dear Christopher, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback following your recent six-night stay with us. I sincerely apologise for the issues you experienced, particularly with the lack of room servicing, running out of toilet paper, and the interruption to the water supply in your room. I understand how inconvenient this would have been during your stay. Indika, Our Housekeeping Manager will contact you directly to discuss your experience further and address the concerns you have raised. We appreciate your feedback and apologise that your stay did not meet your expectations. Kind regards, Dolly McCallum
