Mantra Esplanade

Mantra Esplanade

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is in a great location with restaurants, shops, art museum, and the Night Market in easy walking distance. It was also close to the water and parks. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. They aren’t super fancy but they were great for a solo traveler. And there was a big balcony overlooking the park. It was perfect for me."
