Budget room was just that.....Budget”

We stayed in room 564 and it was the smallest room I've ever stayed in. It was that small I could literally take a dump and have a shower at the same time. The tv remote didn't work, we didn't have a kettle, Couldn't have the temperature turned up unless we rang maintenance. (which we tried but no answer even during reception hours) The tram (route 86 from Southern Cross station) takes nearly an hour but it's only a 2 min walk. The train (Mernda line) takes about 30 mins but is roughly about a 800m walk. I only stayed here because my sister was getting married at the Mantra and so was the reception. So staying in the city wasn't worth it. I wouldn't stay here again.

Rough Diamond”

After mixed reviews, we were a little apprehensive when we turned up. We were pleasantly surprised. The property is little knocked around, but everything works. For the price we paid, I think it was excellent value. We had a room on the top (7th) floor, & the views are amazing. The room was large, the bed was comfy, a big TV, & a hot shower/bath. Couldn't ask for more. I haven't stayed out this way before, but it was easy to get around. You will find there a "very mixed" group of people that stay here, but we found it quiet, & we didn't experience any dramas. Be aware parking is a $16 extra.
