Mantra on Russell Melbourne

So close to the city of Melbourne

Tiles in bathroom were lifting

Location Staff Breakfast

Wifi hard to work out

Close to where we wanted to have dinner

Rooms could of been cleaner and bath tub showers in a room you pay good money for isn’t quite ideal

The location is great and the room size was very large. We also had a terrace which was cool but unusable as no table or anything out there

Our room had issues with its doors. The bathroom door locked when you closed it from the inside and didn’t open again. There’s no actual lock on the door so you just end up trapped in the bathroom. Luckily there were two of us The bedroom door also didn’t shut all the way, it didn’t fit the door frame properly I guess and you couldn’t shut it unless you really yanked, so we just left it open.

Nice home base for five nights. Hotel is located in a lively and bustling Chinatown. My 13th floor studio room was massive and included a kitchenette and a deep bathtub. Curtains made the room pitch black for restful sleeping. Loved having access to a mini-fridge and microwave so leftovers didn’t go to waste. (Melbourne has amazing food!) The decor could use some updating and the TV was smaller than expected but the hotel has everything you need. Only downsides: The patio was large but had no furniture. There was a strong food smell permeating the room/hallway on the first night that was gone the next day.
