Pros:

The LightRail ( Chinatown station ) is located out the front of Mantra Central Sydney. This makes it easy to get to the shops for groceries, retail shopping and allows you to travel to so many destinations.
So many food options to choose from when wanting to dine out.
The staff are friendly, nothing was ever an issue for them.
Check in is 2pm but they called to advise that we could check in earlier, which was appreciated as we had arrived early in Sydney.

My wife and i were in Sydney for a next day surgery appointment. Anthony at the front desk was able to grant us a late checkout of 12 midday which was very helpful for our stay and the surgical appointment. It was very much appreciated. Anthony a credit to your establishment.

Pros:

Description of the room was different once we got there, cups were stored in dusty cabinets, the balcony door handle was broken so you couldnt close or open it from the outside, the elevators smelt like damp beyond the location the hotel lacks much to offer

Pros:

Was grateful for an upgrade from studio apartment to 1 bedroom apartment, the living area is spacious, bed room size adequate. The apartment is very dated in decor. Boiled the kettle & it tripped the fuses! Location is convenient to Central station train & light rail

The property was good in all areas but if the balconies are at the rear it was noisy because of the echo

Pros:

The location of this property was excellent. Darling Harbour was a short walk with lots of restaurants and public transport around.
The property itself, or the room we stayed in at least seemed quite outdated. The kitchen wasn’t very well stocked and the various sliding doors were quite difficult to open/close.
On saying that though the beds were comfortable and the front desk staff were lovely.
