The location was very close to Salamanca Place and the CBD. Our room overlooked a park so that was nice as well. The apartment was clean and we had a kitchenette and washer/dryer combo which was perfect for our visit.

There is off street car parking but you need to book in advance and it is a tight squeeze for a bigger vehicle.

The location was in easy walking distance to the Salamanca area and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable. Undercover parking is a plus at a reasonable price.

spacious rooms and we'll appointed, plenty of room for suitcases without getting in the way

odd kitchen cabinetry layout

A great location. A stroll through the park to several eateries located by the harbour.

Location close to Wooden Boat Festival and waterfront. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Helpful staff.

For the money we paid we expected a hotel with more pizazz, brighter decor, more spacious reception area. The overall impression was of dowdiness, lack of colour. The way to reach reception through the underground car park from our room very unimpressive especially as we were paying over $400 a night. Whilst our reporting of a constantly running toilet was dealt with promptly by staff, the repair only lasted a few hours before it broke down again.

We were allocated a suite with one extremely huge lounge room! It was quite unexpected and a fun surprise! Very useful to have the space, the laundry and kitchenette. We were within walking distance to everything, which made the whole time in Hobart with friends relaxed and convenient. Great place to rest and reset, as it was quiet and dark. View of the Mason building next door and the laneway between was different! Bed was so comfortable and warm with the extra blanket provided.

The bed faced the doorway to enter the suite, which meant the hallway light shone right into our room, as did a draft under the door. We had to use a towel to block it. Being right there also meant you can hear your neighbours doors slam if they wake earlier than you, as they are big and heavy fire doors.

The property is very conveniently located a stone’s throw from Salamanca Place and an easy walk to Battery Point. The rooms are cosy, warm and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Having parking available in the on-site garage is initially why we chose to stay here. The apartment we stayed in this time had a four poster bed and lovely wooden antique furniture, which was a nice touch that made it feel homely, unlike many other hotels that are decked out with furniture and decor that give a cold corporate feel.

The shower in this room was not good, but we’ve stayed here before and had no issues with the shower in the other room so it seems to be a quirk of this particular apartment. The temperature was quite cold, though that is probably because of the legally mandated caps on hot water cylinder temperatures that is set ludicrously low in Tasmania. Unfortunately a tepid shower that also has very poor water pressure makes for a grim wash.

This hotel is in an old building which has been converted to apartments, and it really shows as the amenities/floorplans are a bit skewiff. Our first room (1 bedroom apartment) on the 1st floor was very large, but had a weird layout and only one window which overlooked a dark and dingey alleyway. It also had a broken shower, the floors and bedside tables were dusty, and the room had a funky smell. However, as soon as we alerted the receptionist (Anna) to these issues - she very promptly contacted management and had us moved to another apartment on the other side of the building on the 3rd floor. Although this room was slightly smaller, it was clean and comfortable, full of natural light, and had beautiful views of Hobart and Mt. Wellington. I’m a big believer that it’s how you resolve the problem that is a true reflection of how good a business is, so for that alone here’s a big shout out to Anna for helping us out so quickly and professionally. The location is also a really big plus, as it is only a 10min walk from the CBD and has a large public park virtually next door. We’d absolutely stay again for the service and the location!

We stayed for one night at Mantra One Sandy Bay and we all really enjoyed the stay. It was spotlessly clean, beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for our family of 5. Kids stayed upstairs and we were downstairs so it was great to have some separation. Soft music was playing when we walked in and the portacot was already set up and made on arrival too which was greatly appreciated. Location was fantastic, very close to St David’s Park and Salamanca. We’d stay again (although it is a bit pricey).

Some softer pillows would be good (not just super puffy ones). Also not having parking was annoying, despite us contacting them before our stay to book parking, we were told there was none available. There was on-street parking close by but a park within the carpark would have been better.

Wonderful room with space to spare. I mean really - you could play tennis in there! Nothing to speak of in the way of a view, although we did better than our friends who had a view of the next building's wall. But we were too busy to spend any time looking out of the window, so that wasn't a problem. I do suggest that if you intend hiring or using a car while you stay at Mantra, book a parking spot. The parking is tight - I mean, it can be seriously tight, and there are fewer parking spots than there are rooms. But it's great value and it's in a terrific spot.

The shared areas such as the lobby on our floor and the lift were some way beyond being a bit tired. They were exhausted! But don't be put off by that. I can't speak for every room (but I can speak with experience of two) and they were both fantastic.
