We spent 3 nights at Mantra on Kent & cannot praise the hotel & its staff highly enough. We booked 2 adjoining suites sharing with our 2 small children & grandparents and were thrilled to find we had ample space, facilities & privacy. The rooms were sparkling clean, had all the creature comforts, & fabulous views over Darling Harbour. The reception staff were friendly & helpful & nothing was too much trouble. We didn't eat in the restaurant (loved being able to wlak over the footbridge to the many restaurants in Cockle Bay, but did order room service a few times & service was always prompt, food hot & never disappointing. We will definitely be staying here next time we travel en masse to Sydney, & feel that we got fantastic value for money.

Stayed at Mantra on Kent Australia Day and were delighted to be upgraded to a room overlooking Darling Harbour on 20th Floor. This was perfect for me as I intended staying in my room to watch the tennis while my husband wanted to walk Sydney looking at the NRMA Motorfest cars. We both have things we love to do on Australia Day. We had booked a 1 bedroom apartment for a bit of extra room and although spacious and the doors can be slid around the bed to give the room complete privacy do not expect a full apartment. The kitchen was really a large kitchenette with a small bar fridge. It was ok for us for 1 night but I would not have wanted to spend more time trying to cook meals in it. Just a tad too small. Having said that it was all very clean and there was enough equipment to prepare a adaquate meal.
I must say I do not like the shower over the bath but with a hand from my husband managed to get in for a lovely shower. If you are unsteady on your feet make sure you book something with a seperate shower. Our bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. Being Australia Day I expected that there would be a lot of noise but it was really quiet. An added bonus we could open the windows in the main room and get fresh air into the room hence not having tor run the air conditioner. We really did have a lovely stay and the staff were helpful and we felt welcomed.

We only had two days in Sydney, so really wanted to make the most of it. Mantra on Kent was perfectly situated to explore the Darling Harbour area. The Hotel is within walking distance of all sorts of attractions such as Darling Harbour itself, the monorail, Aquarium, Paddys Market, lots of dining options, various harbour tours, shopping and much, much more. Could easily have spent a week exploring the area. We found the rooms comfortable and clean with all the usual self contained features like kitchen, washing machine and dryer.
The staff were very helpful and provided us with information about the local tourist attractions and transport.

I stayed at Mantra on Kent for the weekend. Loved it! Spacious room with a balcony, really helpfull staff, loved the food and loved the location! It was absolutly everything my family and I needed for a weekend in the city. The hotel was clean, safe and had a warm feeling about it. I would absolutly recommend staying here.
