This hotel is a hidden gem offering excellent value for money. While the rooms may not be as luxurious as those at Sofitels or Sebels, the more affordable pricing reflects that. On this visit, we stayed in a two-bedroom apartment, which was excellent thanks to the full kitchen and laundry facilities. That said, I still prefer the executive split-level studios for their ambience and private balcony. Location is close to Circular Quay or a five minute walk uptown to the main shopping area. The tram is basically outside the front door which takes you down to Circular Quay (one stop away) or out to the Eastern Suburbs via Central Station. The standout feature of this hotel is Bar Allora. Although the menu is relatively compact, the food quality and service are exceptional. The restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine complemented by an impressive wine list. It’s very popular, so booking ahead is highly recommended. Breakfast is also fantastic, with a lovely à la carte menu instead of a buffet — something I personally much prefer. One thing to note is that there may occasionally be nearby construction or roadworks during the day, which is understandable given the location on George Street. This only happened during one of our stays. Overall a wonderful stay at Mantra 2 Bond Street.

“It's the location”

The location is key as it lies right in the CBD area. We've had meetings and attended a conference in Sydney and all the venues were within 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Loved the washing machine and dryer. They are a little pleasant surprise for me and I found them useful as some of my clothing was drenched in the winter shower. Did I tell you that the rain arrived with me? It was sunny only the first day of my visit and it rained almost the rest of the period I was in Sydney. Because of the rain the tram was a convenient way to move around and the station is just few steps away from the hotel lobby. Nothing much to complain about the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. Food is served at the cafe and I found it convenient to have business discussions whilst having coffee there. If any improvement is needed please have international power points. Luckily I brought one along but my laptop computer, phone, smart watch needed to take turns to charge.

“A well positioned hotel.”

The Mantra on Bond Street is very well located. It is within easy walking distance of the city center and all of the major malls. The room we had was extremely comfortable and well appointed. Unfortunately, while we were there, there were major roadworks right outside our window. It was loud. The breakfast was a very limited menu with no buffet. I would expect more from a high priced hotel. Having said that, what we received was of the highest quality. Both my wife and I were very happy. Moreover, the waitress who served us on both days of our stay was a delight.
