Very Good

Room was spotless. Breakfast excellent and varied. A/C /heating was so easy to control. I am elderley and usually find TV and AC diffiult to operate, but this hotel was the best I have used for someone like myself not good with technology.
I had an amazing stay at Mantra MacArthur Canberra and honestly one of the best hotels I’ve experienced at this price range.
Everything from check-in to check-out was smooth and professional. The room was modern, clean, and very well maintained, with a comfortable bed and great overall layout. It really felt like a high-quality stay without the premium price tag.
The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, making it perfect whether you’re traveling for business or leisure. The facilities are well looked after, and everything just works the way you’d expect from a top-tier hotel.
Overall, this is easily one of the best stays I’ve had compared to other hotels at a similar level. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Canberra.

The staff was courteous. The room is clean. The bathroom is spacious. The rubbish bin is too small. The parking is not easy.

Great property. Large room. Well appointed and clean. Canberra light rail station directly opposite which is convenient. Perhaps it's a little too far to walk to Civic, but it would be manageable if time permits.
Secure undercover parking is offered for fifteen per night, which is pretty reasonable for Canberra I think?
Only negative was breakfast shuts at 0930 and check-out is at 1000. Both seem a little early?
Also the breakfast (bacon, eggs, sausages) were all quite cold.
But all in all, it's a pretty good newer property for Canberra.

Nice quiet clean hotel. The area around the hotel is clean & quiet & safe as well. Lots of dining options not to far from the hotel. Attractions are not to far away either.
