Top Gold Coast Hotel Reviews

Mantra on View Hotel

Mantra on View Hotel

8/10 Good
"Two adults and two little kids stayed here on Friday and Saturday night over the Airshow weekend. I had read some of the other reviews and I had low expectations thinking it was going to be a bit tired. But our room was great. Clean. The room itself was modern and fresh. Two double beds in the one room, as expected. Big bathroom. It was great having a combined shower bath so the kids could have a bath. Very comfortable. No issues with bed comfort or water pressure. Balcony is very small- I don’t like when there are table and chairs pushed up against the balcony railing. Overall, exceeded expectations."
