Mantra on Russell Melbourne Reviews

The facilities are complete, hygienic and clean, the environment is comfortable, and the service is average. It is a 2-minute walk from Chinatown. The overall cost performance is relatively high. It is suitable for parent-child travel, apar**ent style

Close to Chinatown and the CBD business district, it is convenient to travel! The hotel facilities are quite satisfactory! It’s just 🛏️a little soft

Good location, just outside Chinatown

Not bad, traveling around is very convenient

Geographical location advantage

Unfortunately this property was advertised as having room service and FOXTEL when in actual fact it had neither. As we were spending a considerable amount of time in our room, I specifically picked this place BECAUSE it supposedly had these amenities. We couldn't even watch the regular channels on TV because it was constantly glitching. We also spent quite a bit of money on ubereats because there was no room service as advertised. The place was essentially an apartment when we were wanting an apartment/hotel experience.

Having a pool onsite was the most important feature of this hotel and the main reason I booked it along with the aparthotel features.

Fantastic location within walking distance of shops, dining and transport. It isn’t a full service hotel, but if hotel dining and room service isn’t something you’re after, this is a great option. Nice pool and hot tub. Breakfast buffet has a decent range of foods and they make good coffee (at additional cost). Beds are a bit springy and soft but not uncomfortable. Nespresso machine in the kitchen is a bonus. Water refilling station outside the breakfast area is great for filling your bottles with cold flat or sparkling water to take out with you for the day. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Minor irritations - wifi not great; weak exhaust fan in bathroom means it gets pretty steamy and the mirror gets badly fogged; power points in bedrooms were single and taken by lamps and very inaccessible, which was dreadful for charging devices by the bed; car parking was awkward. Nice atmosphere. I would definitely stay again.

Good location, overall average. Quite dusty, felt the air in the rooms was quite stuffy. Carpet at the room entry has not been vacuumed for a while, there was a layer of dust on it. Needs a bit of love, i.e. small details like broken tiles in the bathroom and loose grout need to be fixed, a fresh lick of paint on high touch areas. Christmas decorations looked sad, and some common areas really need to be redone, looked dirty and run-down (balconies, pool). Had a huge black spider in one of the room ceiling corners - obviously the housekeeping missed to see it! Did not feel very welcome, staff on duty were quite disinterested… we’ll not be coming back.

Super convenient location, which had access to everything that you'd need. Ideal location for really good shopping and eateries.

Love having the little kitchenette, worked well for us will return again. Good staff there around the clock.

Kids enjoy the indoor pool and spa. Nice gym to work out in after after a full day of eat and shopping.

Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Rooms and facilities clean, modern and spacious. Good location, great stay

Couldn’t fault the service, cleanliness or amenities. The separate bedroom was perfect and suited our family needs. We will be back again!
