This is really more a 2-3 stars property. In general the property is run down and looked tired and worn out. It was previously an apartment block that was bought and converted into a ‘hotel’. There’s wall patches that wasn’t properly done and paint coming off the joinery. We noticed a spider in the toilet and the vents sound like a machine. The rooms are not air-conditioned which isn’t up to par given the price and 4 star rating on Google. I think it here needs to be a lot of adjustments (lower) to reflect the true quality/value/type of the accommodation.

We wwre put into the wheelchair accessibility room, which meant oue shower had a shower curtain which are extremely unsanitary. They stick to yori body when showering and I absolutely guarantee they arw NOT washed between guests. The shower setup means water goes absolutely EVERYWHERE throughout the bathroom so I had to ask for a LOT more towels to contain thwn water. It would bw good for staff to check if this setup suits a customer prior to them staying. The ret was otherwise good.

The Mantra is convenient to everything and check in was easy. Unfortunately the unit was very rundown. The lounge was very stained and the furnishings and carpet very worn. The carpark is quite tight to exit if you have a large vehicle. I also was placed in an accessible apartment which was fine however if I’d been in a wheelchair there is absolutely no way i could have accessed the bedroom as the lounge was only about 50cm from the door. There was also a strong smell of cigarettes in the apartment and no tea towels.

We were a family of 4 and had a one night stay at the Mantra. It ticked all the boxes. It is on a main road so the surrounds are particularly picturesque but it was quiet and had plenty of street parking. We'd definitely go back as it was good value relative to other accommodation options in the Gong

The pet friendly unit was absolutely great! All rooms/bathroom/balcony very spacious with separate lounge area. A nice view out to the distant mountains and not too loud from traffic and quiet. Loved the fully equipped kitchen and also bathroom had a washing machine/dryer with plenty of room on the balcony to dry items on a rack provided also. Can walk into the Centre of Wollongong to all of the main shops. Everything very nearby, perfect for us as we were meeting up with family in the area. A very acceptable price also that we were very happy with. Only issue is you do need to walk your doggie down a few levels in the lift and there is not too much grassy areas for them to relieve themselves so you need to walk along some side streets. Parking is limited and you need to pay $15 per night undercover on property and there is a $80 dog fee per stay that I did not realise at the time until I got there. All in all very happy with our 5 night stay there.

I walked into my room, found some type of disgusting stains all over the lounge and cushions. The property smells, is old and dirty. There is one lift that takes forever to get up and down. The room itself is awful. Bare and old with very little in it - just large open void. I left the property immediately upon walking into my room and changed to another hotel. A definite hotel to avoid. Looks nothing like the photos online.
