Normally Mantra rooms are clean & modern. Mantra Wollongong was unfortunately very grotty from the time we entered reception to the time we left. Foyer needed a good sweep & mop, as did the elevator floor. Rooms were specious and beds comfortable, but lounges were stained, benches and furniture in need of a good wipe down, tiles in bathroom mouldy. The whole place needs a good refresh. I didn't realise the property allowed pets...saw 4 groups with large dogs taking them in and out of their rooms. We probably won't stay again unfortunately.

The room was….. dirty. A very tired old room. Old food in the drain in the sink, stains all over the carpet. The sheets were nice and clean, parking was good, friendly helpful staff. But for the price of the room for one night didn’t match the standard of the room.

The only real problem with the hotel at the moment and for a while yet by the look of it was that there was a construction site right next door and it started very early in the morning. Not very relaxing . The room ok clean wise could have been better. Staff were good

Far from a 4-star hotel. Everything is old and in very poor condition. The carpet smells like sweaty feet, the microwave is yellowed and doesn’t even work, and the fridge is damaged. They even have on-site parking and still dare to charge us per night.

Beds were comfy. Good room amenities, parking & location. But the room smelled extremely bad. We had to sit outside. Asked for a room change but they were fully booked. I had to request an air-freshener & they have me a spray bottle which said it was floor cleaner. Unimpressed & won't be back.

The 2 bedroom we had for the night was comfortable and well maintained. Although we could see marks and scratches on the furniture, the unit was clean and the carpet seemed new. Best of all, it is a pet friendly hotel which is rare in Australia, sadly. Our baby Shiba loved her stay. Thank you for being so accommodating to families with pets. We will be back.
