I recently had a wonderful stay at Mantra on View Hotel. The experience was excellent from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. A special mention to Chef kane , who was very accommodating and ensured we had a great dining experience. The food was delicious and well-prepared, and the overall service from both housekeeping and front desk staff was outstanding. Their professionalism and warmth truly made the stay memorable. If I return to the Gold Coast, I will definitely choose to stay here again. — Amit Yadav
Stayed at Mantra on View (room 912) and was really disappointed compared to my stay about three years ago. The rooms used to feel warm and cozy with the original heavy furniture and darker tones, but the recent renovation feels very cheap and clinical. The laminate flooring already looks poorly installed with visible gaps, the walls are painted bright white like a hospital, and the lighting doesn’t even match (one warm, one bright white). They’ve also added a small kitchenette that feels unnecessary, replacing the nice dark table the room used to have. The black bed runner looks unsanitary compared to the usual white hotel linen, and the beds are so light now that they slide across the floor when you sit on them, probably because of the laminate instead of carpet. Overall the renovation feels rushed and tacky, and unfortunately the hotel has lost the cozy atmosphere it had a few years ago.
The hotel itself is beautiful and well situated in the area, close to all amenities. However, the few members of staff on reception I came across were nothing but unhelpful. My key card wouldn't open the gym, they were of no help whatsoever. Every single hotel in the world allows bags to be left on the day of departure for a period of time, not here.
Staying at Mantra on View was amazing and I would definitely recommend it. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The beach view from our room was fantastic, and room service was great too. The location is excellent — the beach is less than two minutes away, with nearby shops and activities like arcades and escape rooms. One thing that really stood out was that the TV actually worked and had Foxtel, which meant the kids could watch what they wanted. The buffet was also good and catered to vegetarians! We loved our stay overall and would absolutely come back!
Rooms are clean, however very old and needing maintenance, especially in the bathrooms... Service was incredibly slow, took half an hour to check in, we also did not get any reply from the reservations email when we sent an email to them prior to our stay. The location is great, with a beautiful beach view, the building isn't overly sound proof though so be aware you will hear absolutely everything at night.
