room was ok . aircon not working as should have been and exust fan in bathroom was not working either
The Mantra on the Esplanade is very nice, everything was lovely, Staff were very nice.
The only thing they don’t come to your room to freshen it up or refill the coffee etc. we were there for 5 days and no one came
Room was average. No housekeeping. Fire alarm went off twice in one night for no reason but no apology or compensation from staff. Pool area is clean but locals scaled the gates and were using it. Very convenient location.
When booking was made, specifically asked for a Room no higher than the Fourth floor, This was totally ignored as no record could be found, Apart from that Great Accommodation, Recommended
We had a last minute check in. Staff were friendly and accommodating. There was a bit of street noise but room was spacious and clean.

Liked: Room comfort
The room it self was clean and tidy. However upon arriving there was musky smelling in the room. We turned off the air conditioner which appeared to be the main problem. After chatting with the desk they came up and changed the filter as we could see was quite dirty. We did not have the air for the remaining of our 3 days as, it still gave off the strong scent. I do hope further looking into the this concern is addressed as summer is approaching.
If i could upload the photos i took i would. $300 for one night? Massive cockroaches in my room, water was leaking at a rapid rate onto the TV table splashing all over the TV and all over the lamp light on the table next to it at such a rapid rate that i had to turn off the aircon There were fluid stains from a drink on my bed side table that hadn't been wiped down, there was someones underwear behind the bedside table and there were fleas in my bed. I am not happy that i had to pay $300 for this room. I have kept all of the photos of the above mentioned if you want to discuss this further.
Self contained apartment clean and comfortable. Excellent location on esplande close to many cafes, restaurants, major supermarket & night market. Short walking distance to reef terminal and lagoon area.

Liked: Cleanliness
Was locked out of room whilst locksmith had to be called to repair an old lock. Staff would not allow late checkout despite inconvenience during stay.
Otherwise great location and easily accessible.
We had to have the kettle in the bathroom, furniture was outdated and old, no space to put your belongings the aircon wouldn't work with the remote. Very noisy, doors slamming

Great Location, Ordinary Stay
The room was dusty everywhere. The bed sheets were changed and clean towels provided. The balcony chairs were sun faded and chalky and left marks on our clothes. An annoying inconvenience was that parking was non existent for first night of stay. However Mantra parking signs appeared in parking bays assigned to room numbers the next day. There was a broken double power point in the closet so I could not iron clothes unless I tried it in the small bathroom with great difficulty. The TV and internet was extremely slow and to add to annoyance, the settings were locked in Japanese language only. The credenza below the wall mounted tv housed the kettle, coffee and tea and fridge. However there was no accessible power point to connect kettle to, above the credenza. The only place was in the bathroom. Even though issues with the room were discussed with Mantra staff at front desk, nothing happened to address some of these matters prior to leaving. From a positive perspective the location is central with ease of access to shopping, food venues and the esplanade.
