Staff were lovely room is quiet out dated and run down but comfortable enough for a weekend stay
Room & staff were good. Only one elevator for the whole building which was very slow.
There was also a building site in the adjoining block.

Although clean the rooms need renovations. Painting, regrouting, changing vanities, etc. looks very tired. But apartment is spacious, with a balcony. in an ok location. Building site next door so may be noisy during the week.

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.

Mantra is well located close to the train station and Wollongong central. It also has free parking and the rooms are good. Internet is very weak.
