Reviews for Mantra Pandanas
David S. Perry
I only used the restaurant for dinner. The food was very good. The chairs in the dining room leave much to be desired and need to be reupholstered, they are most uncomfortable. The steak I had was very good and cooked to my request. However, it was served on a cold plate so by the time I was at the end of my meal the steak was cold too. A warm plate 🍽️ would improve the quality of my meal. Thanks for a good evening, very good service.

It was very well located. Room was comfortable & very clean. Staff helpful & informative. Great breakfast. Only complaint was that the tea/coffee cups in our room were too small. 2-3 mouthfuls at best.

I’ve been coming to Darwin since 2000 and have stayed at Mantra Pandanas since around 2008. Over the years I’ve stayed in several places around town, but Mantra Pandanas has become my preferred home away from home, and I always seem to come back here. Yes, the building has aged a little over the years, but that’s to be expected. What matters to me is comfort, convenience, and consistency, and Mantra Pandanas has delivered all three for nearly two decades. The apartments are ideal for longer stays. Having a full kitchen, separate bedroom, dining table, workspace, washer and dryer, and plenty of room makes it feel much more like an apartment than a hotel room. For anyone working in Darwin for extended periods, it’s hard to beat. The location is excellent. It’s an easy walk to Mitchell Street and the CBD—close enough to enjoy everything, but far enough away that you’re not listening to the nightlife every evening. Parking has never been an issue, and I’ve always found the front desk staff welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful. Over the years I’ve had the occasional minor issue, such as air conditioning problems or a small leak, but every time I’ve reported something it has been dealt with promptly. Things happen in any property; what matters is how they’re handled, and I’ve always been looked after. Credit where it’s due: the management team and service staff have consistently been responsive and easy to work with. The only recurring annoyance I’ve experienced isn’t really the hotel’s fault. Because the apartments have full kitchens, every now and then a fellow guest appears to lose a battle with a toaster or frying pan and the building fire alarms spring into action. When they do, they are spectacularly loud, particularly at 2 AM. Fortunately, they’re usually false alarms and quickly resolved, but after enough stays I’ve come to accept that the occasional midnight reminder about fire safety is simply part of apartment living. A couple of years ago I experienced some frustrations with the internet provider used by the building, particularly with VPN connectivity. That was more an issue with the ISP than the hotel itself, and I’m pleased to say it appears to have been resolved. On my current stay, my VPN connection has worked flawlessly for two months. I’ve seen some reviews mentioning age, smells, and other issues, but honestly, that simply hasn’t been my experience. After many trips to Darwin and nearly two decades of staying at Mantra Pandanas, I can say without hesitation that it remains my preferred place to stay. Comfortable, convenient, well-managed, and staffed by good people. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else unless they were fully booked. It’s my second home!

My experience with the bond refund process at Mantra Pandanas Darwin was disappointing. Throughout the process, I communicated with Annette, but I felt that my concerns and supporting evidence were not properly considered. The bedroom was not in perfect condition when we moved in. The carpet was already old and worn, and there were visible stains on the bedroom ceiling. During our tenancy, there were also mould-related issues, and after the carpet was cleaned, I kept a dated video showing its condition. Despite providing this evidence, I did not feel it was fairly taken into account. I also felt that the inspection focused more on finding reasons for bond deductions than discussing the evidence we provided. Better communication and a fair review would have made the process much more transparent. My advice to future tenants is to document everything from the day you move in—take photos, videos, and keep copies of all emails and maintenance requests. I hope management improves its communication and ensures that all evidence is properly reviewed before making decisions about tenants' bond refunds.

DISGUSTING. And I'm going to unashamedly be a total snob about this. Never have I regretted leaving my last hotel as much as I did today. It's a long one so grab a chair and coffee. The issue with investors renting out their private apartments at $268 per night was glaringly obvious the second I walked into the Reception area....and then into the room. HOSPITALITY HOSPITALITY HOSPITALITY This is the name of the game you are working in. Private Investors....you are working to provide the people with accomadation so they can pay of the mortgage you can't really afford....not the other way around. THIS IS HOSPITALITY 1:01. Judge not the books cover for it matters not what people look like. It never has and never will. What matters is how they are treated and those in the industry should already know that assumption is the Mother of all evils. I am travelling interstate and solo. I have an Autistic 6 year old in tow after fleeing a DV relationship that culminated in a physical assault. I am witness in a criminal trial in November. It gets stressful and information can become too much at times. I'm not a pretty package and he can be a lot. But consider this hospitality workers and investors. Do you have the ability to just wake up one morning and decided you're popping over to Darwin at peak travel time ?? Can you just decide to stay at THE FANTASTIC CLUB TROPICAL that I just had the most glorious two weeks in at the drop of a hat ? Can you fit in a couple of nights at the Casino ( highly overrated) whilst you leave your Club Tropical room empty ?? Day Top End Safari with Matt Wright just because ?? Or Tiwi Islands for a couple of nights (we leave for that via helicopter on Saturday) just so you can find peace again ?? Does your mortgage free home sit empty in another state while you do it all ?? Are you going to just pop to Victoria to see snow once your done on the Islands ?? No?? Well that foul mouthed, heavily tattooed thing that just got glared at for asking a simple question in your lobby can. And she can afford to tow the kid wearing a rats tail along for the ride with her. With zero apologies for who she is either. $268 for no access to Reception staff because it's a privately owned room ?? WRONG !!!! And reception staff. You really need to get a clue....your job is HOSPITALITY,not haughtiness and definately not hostility. Regardless of who owns the room. It sits in YOUR BUILDING. YOU ARE IN HOSPITALITY !!! One young lady (and obviously a trainee) had the only smile to my enquiry. Was THE ONLY one to meet my eyes as I spoke. Please do not break her...learn from her. She did what hospitality should do !! The cleaner who assisted me with the lockbox....promote her, learn from her. She did what hospitality should do !! Reception Staff.....go and take a lesson from the people at Club Tropical. THEY DO HOSPITALITY !!! My room here. Room 902 with the paper sticky taped to the door to show me the way. Room can be serviced AFTER I've stayed 7 days. Well.....that's in the photos and I'm STILL blowing my nose and sneezing. Immune compromised children cannot breathe dust and mould. Now to find a better hotel and leave this paid for room empty. TOTALLY DISGUSTED.
