Mantra Sydney Central

Our room was very dated and needed a revamp. The softfurniture was badly stained and looked dirty. The bathroom was dated and tiling grout was dirty, needed redoing or at least a good clean. One shelf in fridge was absolutely filthy and a health hazard. It had not been cleaned in a very long time. Bed linen was clean. We requested a quiet room on check in and it was relatively quiet considering this central city location although tram could still be heard even over noise of air conditioning. Staff were polite and very helpful. Location of hotel is very near Circular Quay and Darling Harbour. Tram is just outside. I think hotel owners could revamp old rooms and replace carpets in corridors to give guests a cleaner Sydney Centre experience. I would not stay here again and definetly would not recommend this hotel.

Noisy because its near the tram line, appartments have no laundry facilities, you have to go to the basement to pay to use there ones, no oven in room and the AC barely made a difference to temperatures. Rooms not large so ok for a one nighter but that's about it..

Super friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are small and not well maintained or clean. Mould in shower, bathroom had a funky smell. Hangers in closet had bent hooks and hard to get out. Convenient location but very noisy at night. Entrance is hard to find hidden behind other store fronts. If staying here recommend a higher floor to try to escape street noise. In room kitchenette but VERY small and not pots or pans. On site restaurant but serves more as an Asian food takeaway only in evening hours.

Rooms have had a recent modernisation so they’re quite nice. Bathrooms are a bit older maybe. But it’s not a bad place, a bit of an awkward entrance at times and can get lost in the shops. Otherwise staff were friendly and helpful. Not a bad spot either within the CBD. A tram stop right outside.

This hotel is so tired, and so are the beds and facilities. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment and the single beds looked like hammocks. The support had died a few decades ago and they were most uncomfortable. Kitchen facilities were almost non-existent - not even a sharp knife… The Smeg dishwasher didn’t work - the panel was missing, and it also had died long ago. We set it off, but the alarming noise it made caused us to turn it off again. Reception staff were great. They have to work very hard to promote positivity to customers staying in a dive. The whole place is so rundown. Location however is great.
