I had a pleasant stay at Mantra On Kent, with a clean and spacious room that offered great comfort (the bed was fantastic). However, I found the nightly rate of $360 to be quite steep, especially given that the breakfast options were limited. The location was a plus as it was conveniently situated near Darling Harbour and all the sights, but the lift situation was frustrating with only one working at times, causing delays during check-out.

I stayed in a one-bedroom apartment that felt outdated and had cleanliness issues. There were crusted spots on the blanket, peeling paint in the bathroom, and sticky cupboard handles. I ended up being moved to a larger room with better air conditioning, which was nice, but it still didn't feel clean enough for my comfort.

My stay at Mantra On Kent was a bit of a mixed bag. While the location was perfect for exploring Sydney and the room was spacious and clean, I ran into some frustrating issues during check-in that really dampened my experience. Overall, I enjoyed the comfortable facilities and modern amenities, but some service hiccups left a bit to be desired.

Rooms

I stayed in an executive studio and found it spacious with plenty of room. The bed was comfortable, and I loved the good kitchenette. However, I had low water pressure in the shower and a squeaky bathroom door, which was a bit annoying.
