Mantra Quayside 4 étoiles

The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were undeniably nice and friendly, which was a great start. However, I did find myself a bit taken aback by a $200 pre-charge for potential damage to the room—a practice I haven’t encountered outside the USA. This might reflect the type of clientele the hotel usually attracts. After a luxurious week on the Gold Coast, where I enjoyed a beautiful apartment for $250 a night, this studio room felt like a letdown. The $250 price tag for a studio with no view and just a double bed seemed steep in comparison. Granted, I was only staying for one night, so it wasn’t a major issue, but it’s worth noting. On the plus side, the hotel is conveniently located close to eateries, shops, and other amenities, making it a practical choice if you’re planning to explore the area. The car park is a bit tight, so be prepared for that. The heated pool was a nice touch but was a tad on the cold side. Overall, while the location and service were good, the value for money didn’t quite meet expectations, especially when compared to the fantastic accommodations I enjoyed earlier in the week. If you’re in the area and need a place to stay overnight, it’s perfectly fine, but just be prepared for a basic experience at a premium price.

I rarely write a review but felt the need to help others avoid our experience. We booked (as we normally enjoy ) Mantra properties. We asked for a quiet high floor for very light sleepers. What we got was 2nd floor right on a very busy main road & over a roundabout. The hoons & rev heads made the traffic noise even worse after 10pm & continued til early hours. Then at 5.20 the street sweeper went up & down the street plus motorbikes & lots of traffic noise again . The apartments don’t have double glazing. It was a horrible & long, noisy night & we were glad to leave very early. Also the driveway entrance is so high your cars scrape on their undercarriage. We are mature people & the shower over the bath was hard to get in & out of & a slip danger to older people. Perhaps our fault for not asking if it was a separate shower but obviously the building is old. The apartment was clean & comfortable but nothing made up for the traffic noise. We hope our review will save others the same awful experience.

Good central self-contained accommodation with a balcony. The room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. Free parking was also provided. Would happily stay again.

Handy location, parking able to accommodate most 4wd's. Studio room we were in was comfortable and functional. LG tv was clunky to stream, and wifi was pretty slow. No washing machine in the room, only a common use one on each floor which was always in use each of the dozen or so times we walked past it. Kitchen was good, although only having a bar fridge will restrict longer stays, food storage wise. Overall okay for short to medium duration stays

En lisant les bons commentaires, je pense que nous sommes tombés sur la mauvaise chambre. Nous avons séjourné dans une chambre handicapée. Il y avait une odeur nauséabonde, un mélange de cigarette et de nourriture. Même en ouvrant les fenêtres, l’odeur restait à cause de la moquette. Ensuite, la salle de bain était sale, il y avait de la moisissure dans la douche. Les draps de la chambre et du lit supplémentaire étaient déchirés. La belle piscine chauffée, le sauna et la salle de sport remonte la note de l’hotel. De plus, l’accueil est très sympathique.
