“Comfortable, quiet accommodation in Parramatta”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Not quite in the CBD, the Mantra is just on the edge but close to the train station. The rooms are spacious but typical of many urban business hotels - basic and just a little sterile. I've stayed a couple of times and quality and cleanliness varies. Some rooms have been excellent while others have had stained carpets and worn furnishings. Generally though, this hotel is above average for age and price.

Compared to other Parramatta hotels the Mantra is pretty good. Reception is good and check-in / check-out is always fast and trouble free. Lots of good dining options nearby but the hotel restaurant is pretty good too.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the higher floors......not much of a view but a little quieter.

My hubby and I stayed here over the Aust Day long weekend. We were impressed with the service, facilities and cleanliness of everything. Our room was updated, fresh and clean. The pool was lovely (albeit cold), the spa and both the regular sauna and the steam sauna were great. We didn't order room service or eat at the restaurant so can't comment on those. Only gripe was there was no safe in our room so had to ask the front desk to hold my laptop for me. Overall, a pleasant experience!

“Clean, Good Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Very clean, good service, good dinning. At the time dinner could only be served in your room because the dining room was closed, costing a bit more for the service. I had breakfast in the dining area, but you could have it served to your room, very good, no issues. The bath room was very clean and room service was good. Good swimming pool. I only did not like the beds, like most motel beds, they do your back in. I would go back again.

Dear MyGardenRules,

Thankyou for taking the time to write about your stay at Mantra Parramatta.

I am pleased that you found your stay comfortable and enjoyed our food and beverage offerings at the hotel.

You will be pleased to know that during January 2012, we have completed a 'bedding' program that means every guest room and apartment has had its bed replaced in the previous 18 months - with most replaced in the last 6 months. I am confident these new beds will see all of our guests enjoy a great nights sleep.

I look forward to welcoming you back to the hotel during the year ahead. Please do not hesitate to contact me direct.

Best Regards

Rob Everett

“Nice hotel, good service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here for one night. Easy, quick check-in process.
Stayed in a Executive Spa Studio. The extra $40 was not worth it for the spa, which was really quite small but okay for one person. The bathroom itself was HUGE - very spacious, spotless and a joy to use. One of the best bathrooms I have used in a hotel before.
The room was large for a studio room, nice comfy bed and brand new Samsung flat screen TV. Was everything I expected, happy for the price I paid. Wouldn't rely on cooking your own meals though if you're planning to use the kitchenette - it was barely a metre wide and very, very basic.
Staff were friendly and efficient. Overall, very clean, newly refurbished and great value for money.

Dear 'ashieee',

Thankyou for your review on Mantra Parramatta - your feedback is appreciated.

You are right - our Executive Spa Studios are a great size !, We are very lucky at the hotel, that most rooms are quite spacious. I note your comments on the upgrade fee to the room, and will pass that feedback onto my team.

I am pleased that you found the room to be comfortable and enjoyed the new TV's. I also think they look great.

Cooking space on the hotel tower is limited, however, should you require a bigger space for cooking, i would love you to try one of our apartments, which have more kitchen space.

Once again, thankyou for your feedback. I look forward to welcoming you back in the near future

Kind Regards

“Good Hotel - needs update”

people found this review helpful

I recently stayed with my staff in this hotel for a conference. The Hotel is located on the edage of the Parramatta CBD and traffic around it was very congested both evening and morning. You need to allow time for traffic if travelling to airport. Hotel was obviously quite up market in its day but really needs a referbishment. the rooms and beds were large and clean. The TV was older and small (not flat screen) The Hotel had a good sized functional gym and both steam and sauna room. Seperate for men and women (which was great!) Staff friendly and helpful.
