Mantra MacArthur Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay overall. The check-in and check-out process was quick and seamless, which made everything so easy. The rooms were clean and well presented, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The location was also just 10 minutes max to the city centre, making it super convenient. It was a really pleasant experience and we would happily stay again!"
