Dear M. May, We’re sorry that aspects of your stay at Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin did not meet your expectations.

It might be worth spending some money on a refurb. The shower never stayed the same temp for more than 5 seconds - freezing cold to boiling hot. The mould and dust was very evident The pillows were terrible and the couch had stains all over it The room smelt like stale tobacco or mildew A disappointing experience, the only nice thing was the view

Daniel I. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We arrived on a Saturday and waited patiently for reception to deal with the one customer before us without any acknowledgement or interest shown, when she finally deemed ready to talk to us she informed us breakfast was included and that there was no restaurant on site and breakfast was served at the other Mantra which was a 5-10 minutes walk away. It turned out to be a five minute drive at best We had a three bedroom apartment on the second floor which was above the pool It had a tree obstructed view of the Harbour but it was still a reasonable view, The apartment, was old, tired and not particularly clean, there was mould on both showers around the shower doors, tile grouting and the mirror in the main bathroom, the heavy main bedroom curtain fell down on Sunday and could not be fixed until the next day which meant an early morning start with only sheer curtains to block the morning sun and streetlights all night, We were 4 adults with one child and one teenager and the apartment had one small TV on the loungeroom wall only and none in any of the three bedrooms, there was also a shortage of power points in all the rooms with the main ones hidden behind the beds making them basically unusable once you plugged something in because it left a gap between the bed and the wall There was a breakfast delivery menu with a five dollar per person delivery charge which defeats the purpose of being an Accor member with free breakfast included The parking under the Mantra had fairly narrow bays for a wide door Hyundai i30 and it smelled really bad because it seemed to be home to a large number of cats who were obviously being given water and food by someone at the Mantra After about 4 days they remembered that we were actually entitled to have our room serviced which was overlooked at the start, afterwards it was serviced once Most of the staff were less than helpful, appeared disinterested and could do with a course in customer service skills in my opinion If I knew at first what I know now I would not have booked this particular accommodation The location on the Esplanade is good although we were not told that there was a back door and a shortcut to get to the shops and some restaurants up in the street running parallel to the Esplanade There is a Club a couple of hundred metres down the road that has a good menu with a range of club food type choices I booked because it looked better online than it does in the flesh and the price at the time seemed reasonable based on photos and our enquiries with the hotel, but at around $411.00 a night it was not good value in my opinion The next time we go to Darwin we are definitely not staying here again

Hi Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly considering the length of your stay and the expectations you had when choosing our property. Your comments regarding the arrival experience, cleanliness and condition of the apartment, bathroom mould, curtain maintenance issue, room servicing, car park condition, and interactions with our team are concerning. These are areas where we should have provided a better experience, and your feedback has been shared with the relevant departments for review and follow-up. We also apologise for any inconvenience or confusion regarding breakfast arrangements. As our property does not have an onsite restaurant, breakfast arrangements may involve our nearby sister property; however, this should have been clearly explained upon arrival, including the available options. We appreciate your comments regarding the age and presentation of the apartment, as well as the limited power points and television facilities. While some aspects relate to the existing design and configuration of the apartments, we understand how these factors affected the comfort and overall value of your stay. It is disappointing to hear that you felt our team appeared disinterested or unhelpful. Providing welcoming, attentive and professional service is extremely important to us, and your comments will be addressed with the team. We are pleased that you found our Esplanade location convenient and were still able to enjoy the harbour outlook; however, we fully appreciate that these positives did not outweigh the concerns you experienced. Thank you again for providing such comprehensive feedback. Although we are disappointed to hear that you would not choose to stay with us again, your comments are valuable in helping us identify where improvements are required. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Team

Accommodation is always good and the location is great. Unfortunately, this time we had an extremely long wait for our apartment to be ready... Very frustrating when you have three children under 8 and have been up since 3:00am.

Dear STEWART, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you continue to enjoy our accommodation and convenient location. We sincerely apologise for the extended wait for your apartment to be ready on this occasion. We completely understand how frustrating this would have been, particularly after such an early start to the day and while travelling with three young children. Your feedback has been shared with our team as we continue to work on improving the arrival experience for our guests. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you and your family back for a much smoother and more enjoyable stay next time. Warm regards, RIZKY N Duty Manager

Great location. Good view. Rooms are very dated and smell. The basement carpark is full of cats, cat poo and it stinks. The whole building needs a birthday.

The worst Accor property I have stayed at. Run down, no services, air con unit noisy, had to move rooms, ranch slider wouldn’t slide. It should be closed down, very disappointing for the money it cost. I’ve also only received 3 nights against my account, I book for 4.

we stayed for 2 weeks and we were supposed to have a room clean on Thursday, half way through…but we had no room clean, had to go buy our own toilet paper…wash and clean our own towels to use.. and a place like this I shouldn’t even had to ask… Not impressed

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused during your stay. We are very sorry that the scheduled room service was missed. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, particularly during an extended stay, and we fully understand your disappointment. We have raised this with our housekeeping team and will review what occurred to ensure scheduled services are properly followed up in the future. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Indika Ranatinga Housekeeping Manager

Gordon A. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

My stay was comfortable and convenient. My only feeback was the car parking. I don't mind paying for secure underground parking however in this case, the entry gate was always open over the duration of the stay.

Dear Mr A., Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback following your recent stay at Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin. We are pleased to hear that you found your stay comfortable and convenient, and we greatly appreciate your 10/10 recommendation. It is also wonderful to know that you continue to enjoy the benefits of your ALL Accor Gold membership. I am sorry, however, to hear about your experience with the underground car park entry gate. We completely understand your concern, particularly as you are paying for secure parking and would reasonably expect the access controls to be operating as intended throughout your stay. Your feedback regarding the gate being left open has been noted and will be raised with the relevant team for review. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as the security of our guests and their vehicles is very important to us. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin on your next visit. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin

The rooms were adequate for a two night stay but we were disappointed with the condition of the hotel.

Dear Ms B., We are very sorry that your recent stay did not meet your expectations and sincerely apologise for the issues you experienced during your visit. We are particularly sorry to hear about the hotel being uncomfortably cold, the maintenance issues, the condition of some of the furniture and electrical appliances, and especially your experience with the lift stopping between floors. We understand how concerning this situation must have been and will ensure your feedback is raised with the relevant teams for appropriate follow-up. We also sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the cockroaches found in the kitchenette. While we are pleased that you found the remainder of the room clean, this is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. We understand your disappointment regarding the overall condition of the hotel and the value you expected for your stay. Your feedback is important to us and highlights areas that require our attention and improvement. Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for the shortcomings you experienced. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience should you choose to stay with us again. Kind regards, Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin

Renee A. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

This hotel needs an urgent refurb! No onsite restaurant, small outdated room with an ancient bathroom and uncomfortable bed. Staff where nowhere to be seen and the pool and area is falling apart. I would not book here again.

Your comments regarding the need for refurbishment have been noted and will be shared with our management and maintenance teams as part of our ongoing review of the property. I am also sorry that you found our team difficult to locate during your stay. Our guests should always feel that assistance is readily available, and we will reinforce this expectation with our team. Your feedback regarding the Wi-Fi, particularly the connection speed and ease of access, is also appreciated. We recognise how important, reliable internet access is, especially for guests travelling on business, and this will be raised with the relevant team for review. While I understand from your comments that we did not provide the experience you were hoping for, we genuinely appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Guest feedback helps us identify where improvements are needed, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more positive experience should you choose to stay with us again in the future.

Kerryn N. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

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.

Dear Kerryn, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing to stay with us again. We truly appreciate your continued support. 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. As a returning guest, we especially value your feedback and hope we can provide you with a more comfortable and enjoyable experience on your next visit. Warm regards, The Mantra on the Esplanade Darwin Team

Ebony Z. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

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.

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

Peter U. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

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.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry we let you down, particularly with the cleanliness of the apartment, the condition of the air-conditioning vents, and the delay in resolving the dishwasher issue. We understand your frustration and agree these matters should have been addressed much sooner. Your feedback has been shared with our team for immediate attention. Regards, Mantra Pandanas Management
