It’s a good location nearby the BCD, but it seems like night clubs nearby as well. It caused by cannot sleep very well until around 2AM.
Response from Property: Dear Fred,Thank you for your outstanding review and for highlighting our central location.We’re sorry to hear that external noise impacted your sleep. Being located in a vibrant CBD area does mean there can be some late-night activity, particularly on certain evenings.We appreciate your feedback and will continue to look at ways to minimise this impact where possible.Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.Kind regards,Mantra Sydney Central Team

It's about a 15-minute walk from the central train station, and the route is quite easy to navigate. The room has a kitchen, but you need to call to have the cooking utensils delivered. There are also plenty of dining options nearby, including a Chao Fa Chaoshan hotpot restaurant downstairs.

Affordable hotel with daily housekeeping. Great location, close to everything, with the Chinatown tram stop literally right in front of the hotel. They also offer luggage storage, which is very convenient for travelers with night flights.

Location was generally convenient right beside light rail station. But I actually expected more amenities provided with th price I paid for. Room is really spacious but toilet doesn’t have much space to put my own things. Bed and pillow are too soft for my liking as well.

Great location in Sydney's China town (Light Rail stop right at door), with great access many food options and darling harbor within walking distance. The room was clean, bright and comfortable but the toilet orientation was tight for our room (little/no knee space) but we managed. The self service laundry (2 commercial washing machines and dryers) was sufficient - $5 a token for either one load of wash or drying was okay. Would recommend it!

Just so disappointed with our stay, definitely will not return or recommend this hotel to my friends or families.
Only the staff named Jessie seemed nice and sincere 🙂 the rest were ignorant, esp the one who helped us with the check in.
Almost every night there's a loud noise from the road. The heater was loud . The housekeeping didn't do the job properly.
The smells of the hotel was dominated by the Chinese hot pot restaurant in the mezzanine level 🤮
Response from Property: Dear Laura Dun,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent experience at our hotel. I sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. It is regrettable to hear that the service you received did not meet your expectations, particularly at check-in. Additionally, I understand that noise levels and housekeeping standards were not satisfactory. We strive for a pleasant atmosphere, and I appreciate your comments regarding the odors from the restaurant, which is important for us to consider.Thank you for acknowledging Jessie’s efforts; I will ensure her service is recognized. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.Best regards,Mantra Sydney Central

Response from Property: Sounds like it’s working well for you—but I’m not sure what you’re referring to.Is this about a place you’re staying, a restaurant, an office, or something else? If you tell me a bit more, I can respond properly or help you compare options nearby if that’s useful.
