The apartments look tired, the apartment wasn’t entirely clean, there’s no free wifi, they only cleaned the room once in 8 days. The location is good, but they really need to up their game.

Average property in a good location - rooms and pool area are looking worn and tired. Not good value for the price we paid so would not recommend or stay here again.

Vanessa on reception, was great at booking our tours. She has great customer service skills & is very friendly & a wonderful smile. 😊 Now, for the condition of our room. FILTHY. We found lot's of hair & nail clippings on the carpet in various spots throughout our room. Even two nail clippings next to the sink where you put the dishes to dry! As well as stains on the curtains in two rooms. They've most likely have never been cleaned since the hotel opened in 2000! Marks on the walls throughout, a very big stain on the chair in the living room & the seat cushions on the sofa, have springs almost coming through. VERY uncomfortable. Overall, this was Not a 4 star room. More like a 2 star Backpacker's! I paid almost $300 a night for 5 nights for this accommodation. I've stayed at cleaner Mantra's than this one. To sum it up, I would never stay here again if I was ever up in Cairns again. Mantra, you better pick up your game, because you have some VERY good competition. Very disappointed. ☹️ Btw, the manager never came up to inspect the room. 🤔

The location was great and the staff were very helpful. The room was nice and clean and the facilities were mostly good. However it was advertised on hotels.com as having laundry facilities and it did not so we had to do our laundry at a local laundrette 15 mins walk away

Extremely disappointed the pool was not heated so we were unable to swim. Very unhappy it cost extra to have your room serviced. Nobody wants to walk through the hotel with a roll of toilet paper! Also expected to pay extra for wifi. Great location and staff were lovely

The property is in a great location with most things within walking distance. Room was spacious and clean. One annoyance is when checking in for a 5 night stay there was one roll of toilet paper and the room doesn’t have regular house keeping, they are happy to supply amenities at request but it is an inconvenience to have to keep asking for toilet paper. The mantra should consider a supply of one roll per night and providing fresh towels every 3rd day. Overall was happy with the accommodation

I had such high hopes about staying here. The photos of a sun drenched pool looked like just the sort of winter time retreat I needed. Unfortunately, the pool is placed in an awkward corner at the back of the property - and received NO SUN at any time of the day. It also WASN’T HEATED - not even a little bit (ice-cold spa anyone??). Needless to say, my dreams of relaxing poolside while my kids played for hours on end in the water were never realised. The broken treadmill in the gym was another disappointment. It remained unfixed for the entire time we were staying. I have no issue with the room itself. Thankfully, we were assigned a room with a balcony that got direct sunlight. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location of the hotel was very convenient for getting to local attractions - I just wish the pool was a useful space instead of an afterthought.
