We required a 2 bedroom apartment during our stay. The Mantra on Russell was able to provide this to us without any issues. The reception staff could not have been more helpful in advising how to access the carpark or getting a trolley for our luggage. We requested housekeeping service during our stay and was granted this without any issues. Highly recommend this accommodation when in Melbourne. It is in such a great location as well.

Smelt amazing. Good size and floor layout. Comfortable beds. Nice decor. Pool area was great and warm making it good for use all year round. Breakfast. Meh. Could have skipped and not been hangry. Dishes barely warm. Overall was comfortable but lack of sleep due to noise brings rating down Rooms are loud with the door being paper thin. On 13th floor and could still here to street below. However could not hear neighbours (may not have had any). Could hear elevator and people accessing the floor.

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.
