    It was very noisy outside throughout the night of which really has nothing to do with the accommodation. There was an event nearby and it went on for quite some time. It was still quite noisy when the event ended.

    Great location. Light rail is right in front of the property. Parking was easy enough and right across the street. Comfortable bed.

    Comfortable and Convenient.

    Our apartment had a kitchen but equipment supplied is very minimal. The assumption is that residents eat out or bring back takeaway. We had what we needed but a couple of normal sized wine glasses ( rather than the 2 tiny ones we had ), would have been useful. We stayed on the 7th floor and faced George st. Our stay was on a Saturday night and there was a bit of noise from the street, despite the double glazing. We are both insomniacs and I doubt it would bother most people.

    The location is very convenient, with the light rail Chinatown stop just outside on George St. There are more local eating places in the surrounding streets than I can count . Dixon St (Chinatown) is a 2 min walk away and getting anywhere is easy. Reception staff were exceptional and gave us an upgrade to a 1bedroom apt rather than the king studio we'd booked. The building is well maintained and rooms are quite spacious and comfortable . Soundproofing is good.

    There was a constant off smell that may have come from the Hot Pot restaurant on the ground floor. The wifi was on/off which was slightly inconvenient as I was there for work.

    Location was perfect for us. The room could have been cleaner & a bit more taken care of, but the bedding & room facilities were great. It was loud but that's to be expected as it is right on George St.

    The bathrooms are a little outdated but for the price we paid its something that can be overlooked but other then that nothing else.

    The location is so central to everything you need, literally a 20m walk to the light rail to head to circular quay or to the back side of capitol square to head over to the casino. Staff at reception where brilliant and very accomidating along with the best bang for buck you can buy for 5 nights in such a prime location.

    Not being able to pre-book parking, where we were told to park there was nothing available & we went to 3 car parks before getting one! Not having a walk in shower but one over a bathtub was a bit of a challenge

    My only gripe is two small things that aren’t major… the lifts are a bit creaky and slow so make sure if you are wanting to leave quickly especially at check out time to give yourself plenty of time. Also my bathroom is looking quite dated and aged, the tiles need grouting and the bathtub is looking well worn that it was showing cracks. Overall though it is exceptionally clean and like I said, these are minor gripes and probably already on the maintenance list for the hotel.

    I have been and used this place many times when it was Breakfree on George. Now it is Mantra, it’s nice to see not much has changed, the new bonus is for accessibility issues iris right out front the Chinatown tram stop, they still hold your luggage for you for the day at check in or check out free of charge, the staff are still so accommodating and friendly with great knowledge of the best local spots and the rooms are still so comfy. I like their sustainability approaches from wooden key cards to vegan friendly toiletries that are Devine! Overall as always I’m happy to stay here :)
