Guest reviews for Mantra on the Esplanade

4 out of 5

Motel was quite dated and staff seemed overworked providing minimal detail at check in but apartment was large and very comfortable. We were on the city side so were initially disappointed with no harbour views at all but we were expecting that. It was very noisy from Thursday to Sunday on the city side with music going until wee hours. We had an apartment without housekeeping which was fine but there was no rubbish chute or bins to leave rubbish so were told to leave outside our room and advise reception. One day it wasn’t removed at all until the next day. Would be better to have rubbish facilities available. We had to pay an extra $15 a day for parking which should have been included in the price. Pool area was nice and location excellent. A bit overpriced but we still enjoyed our stay.

The location is good and staff were helpful and friendly however their was a lot of drunks walking around. Got woken up at 4:30am by a party in room next door and the noise continued until later in the day. Their was about 10 people there and most of them were not paying guests at the hotel. The photos are misleading as i booked a city view apartment with a balcony and got and ocean view room with no balxony and no window. Room was small and cramped. I would not recommend and definitely will not stay here again. Much better acconadation around for less money. Dissapointed

I have stayed at Mantra before and it has been excellent. This time, I was checked into a renovated one bedroom unit with esplanade and water views. 3 hours later I was notified by phone that due to 'maintenance issues' with the unit, I had to be relocated. What maintenance issue was not unclear. So I ended up in a half renovated smaller unit with view over the carpark. Potentially because I'm local? Not the stay that I had envisaged hence I didn't enquire how to extend the stay for a few more nights.

It was unique in the fact that it advertised cable TV or satellite TV and then when you got to your room there was not. It was of course The obligatory football channels but not the movie channels as I was told on the phone when I called ahead. Wotif FAILURE once again

I liked the 3 bedroom apartment with the view, but the $200 deposit was a bit steep, especially if your visiting Darwin for the weekend and the accommodation takes a chunk of your spendings...

The 3 bedroom apartment provides plenty of space for a family with 3 teenagers to spread out. Rooms were clean and comfortably furnished. Plenty of towels. Kitchen was well stocked with crockery, cutlery and cookware. Location is central to cafes, restaurants and shops.
