I was pleasantly surprised at the rooms at the Mantra. Spacious well appointed room, very clean. The bed was comfortable and bathrooms were old but well maintained. The place has a gym, lovely indoor pool and a sauna. Great spot if you like to visit China town. Food choices nearby were fantastic

We stayed at Mantra on Russell for three nights last week and really enjoyed our stay without any faults. The location is excellent – right in the heart of Melbourne and within easy walking distance to cafes, restaurants, and all major amenities. Parking is available for around $35 per day, but we didn’t need to use the car at all since the hotel is so central and the city’s free tram made getting around effortless. Our room was spacious, featuring a kitchen and a large dining table, which made the stay even more comfortable. We’ll definitely choose Mantra on Russell again next time we’re in Melbourne.

good: location (for asians, chinatown is right outside. so is qv woolworths) comfort (restful sleep on king bed in studio apartment) pantry area with sink and microwave noise level acceptable (traffic, furniture dragging, housekeeping at the corridor) bad: no electrical socket for charging phones at the bedside, massive inconvenience. i searched hard but i couldnt find any. no dustbin in the room. only one behind toilet bowl and a recycling bin under pantry sink, massive inconvenience. i searched hard but i couldnt find any shower temperature control is a waste of time. its either liquid nitrogen or molten lava. im big on saving water. its not helping if i have to leave the water running an extra twenty minutes just to get the right temperature before i can actually shower. i really hate dual hot cold faucets. ffs upgrade damn toilets. im an airline crew who has stayed in many hotels. its my first time staying here as i wanted to try something different than my crew hotel at flinders street. the bad points ive listed should not even exist.

I recently stayed at Mantra on Russell and overall had a positive experience. The staff were very helpful and welcoming, making my stay comfortable. The location is excellent—surrounded by fantastic restaurants, shopping malls, and easy access to public transport, which made getting around Melbourne very convenient. However, as a Platinum member, I did encounter some issues. It appeared that not all staff were familiar with the benefits associated with this membership tier. For instance, I did not initially receive a room upgrade, and I was not informed about the complimentary breakfast. I ended up purchasing groceries only to later discover that breakfast was already included in my benefits. This could have been communicated much better at check-in. While the stay itself was enjoyable, I believe the hotel could improve on recognizing and honoring Platinum member privileges consistently. A little more attention to detail in this area would elevate the overall guest experience.

Everything about our stay at the Mantra on Russell was perfect except for the breakfast. All of the hot items were only just lukewarm and went cold incredibly quickly. We could not fault our room or the service of staff. Still recommend this as a great place to stay.
