Convenient location and being on the Main Street made it feel safe. Good kitchen facilities but the pool was very chlorinated (guess it needs to be as it was an indoor pool)

Excellent location. Walking distance to everything. Buffet breakfast was pathetic and nothing like the picture in the lobby. Rooms were older but clean and tidy. Road noise at night was pretty loud. Overall good for the price and the location was top notch.

Location is good, there are many restaurants nearby, shopping centres are in walkable distance. However, the cleanliness and condition of the place are quite average. We paid over 500 a night, not really worth the money. We unfortunately experienced a false fire alarm in an early morning, waking up by the alarm, kids were panicking and we walked the kids down the emergency stairs. Half way, the alarm stopped, but there was no announcement. When we went back to the hotel, the front desk casually let us know it was a false alarm. I would prefer an announcement letting us know it was a false alarm and everything was ok. The same night, my kids woke up a few times at night when they heard the car alarm sound from the street down below. The experience traumatised them a lot. The staff might have gotten used to the false alarm, but they still should treat it seriously and be informative, especially during the school holiday seasons when there are many children staying at their place. By the way, the view of the city is fantastic at night time.

We arrived on 15/04/25 we asked for a room change as balcony was so dirty and overlooked the carpark, reception said they would check availability and get back to us we stayed 4 nights and we didnt get any call back. The breakfast is very average undercooked bacon and a coffee machine that gives you froth.

Was an absolutely marvellous stay! From the comfiest bed we’ve slept in in ages, through through the thoughtful staff and incredible view from our balcony. That, combine with so many dining options so close and Chinatown right there, you can’t really go wrong!

An amazing hotel right in the middle of everything we wanted to see! Close to tram stops. Very clean and modern room with everything we needed. Awesome city views from our balcony, lounge and bedroom! Loved the super comfortable bed and pillows! Staff were wonderful, very welcoming and friendly. We will be back! 10/10!

I liked the location, the room and the hotel facilities. The staff were lovely. I did enjoy having a microwave in my room as I wake up at about 4.30am, and so I could make my own breakfast. As and it is impossible to get breakfast at this hour. The pool was great, but no towels left at 6.30am which was surprising. My clock radio was broken, reported but not replaced during my stay. I did have to ask to have my bins emptied. However, overall I did like the hotel and will book again in the near future.

We have stayed multiple times at Mantra on Russell. It’s conveniently located to so many restaurants, Chinatown and shopping. Although it says “daily housekeeping” in the services provided, this was not included. But we were able to request fresh towels each day which more than made up for that. We will definitely continue to stay here again during our visits to Melbourne in the future. Keep this wonderful hotel going!
