What guests think

At Mantra Tonsley Adelaide, travellers praise the modern feel, clean and quiet rooms, a handy on-site cafe and bar, and especially the cheerful, helpful staff, while often noting very limited parking with off-site overflow and an industrial, out-of-city setting.

However, reception hours and after-hours support are limited, and some guests reported uneven housekeeping. Rooms are spacious and modern, but bed firmness varies and in-room amenities feel basic for some (e.g., no phone or USB ports, limited pay TV), though smart TVs with casting are available. A good fit if you value a clean, modern base near Flinders/Tonsley and don't mind off-site parking or a developing, quieter area.

Facilities

On-site cafe/bar and bistro earn positive feedback, but on-site parking is very limited and overflow parking is a several-minute walk away, sometimes through poorly lit or muddy areas. Some guests found facilities closed early or unavailable on Sundays.

Sadly as good as front desk staff was, it was quickly lost there is no food or facilities available on Sundays and late any other night (no mention in any Mantra advertising) Mantra Tonsley is set within a dark and solitude industrial area, (this quickly overshadows any if any highlights Mantra has to offer)which would be very off putting for certain groups seeking accommodation. Then the room I had had no bible, no information pack or stationary, nothing with Mantras details within the room, leaving you to have to “google” information to join the Mantra web as no pass word was offered at booking in. No information for tv remote (hence a information pack in room) be so handy as you offered only the basic tv channels (a Ymca would offer more)then when front desk is contacted after being bounced around to find someone who answers (not on a Mantra room phone as one is not supplied) not much help is offered from another Mantra facility. There was tea and coffee facility in room with a small long life milk. NO WATER OR ICE IN ROOM not even a bottle of water, you had to head to bathroom sink providing a lasting image of the Mantra way!,

I love the hotel and staff. The restaurant is great. The big downside however is the parking facilities. I was blocked in and couldn’t leave when I wanted to.

Staff were very nice, hotel was very nice. The biggest downfall is their lack of parking, approx 12 spaces, first in best dressed which was ridiculous. They do have overflow parking but its a long walk away and when ita late at night, not a great area where the parking is.

The motel was nice, new and modern but the carparking was ridiculous, they didn't tell you about that when you booked, had to park in an open space away from the motel, nearly slipping over in the mud in the dark.

Good, new hotel. Room generous size, very clean, comfortable bed. Cafe downstairs good coffee, good for brekkie (we didn't eat any other meals there). The only thing that was irritating is that the parking on site is very limited and if you miss a park it is NOT clear where to park (and if you arrive after hours like we did, no-one to ask). Overall, we will likely stay here again next time we are in Adelaide.

We checked in after reception had closed. No one explained how to find the key, check in or how to locate our rooms so had to follow it up ourselves. The car parking is located a fair distance from the hotel. The throes pillows had stains on them. Otherwise a nice hotel just needs a few improvements. No usb ports to charge our phones.

Honestly, we had the poorest services so far in our holidays. During our 4 nights stay, we had only one day room service, tea/coffee and linen/towel replacement, commode/basin cleaning, no replacement of tea cup/mugs/glasses. Though there was notice that there will be no room service on 25th and 26th December.

It was brand new with filtered water on each floor and very quiet. The staff were accommodating and friendly. There was free parking. All streaming services are available on a big smart TV which was great. It's a bit industrial but close to the repat hospital. The only downside is when the restaurant closes early, I struggled to find food close by other than fastfood.

Room was spacious, shower water not contained to the shower area because there was no door, just a half glass screen. Parking on site was ridiculous, when no parking spaces available you were told to park on the adjoining property, this property advised with signage that unauthorised vehicles would be towed away!! For this reason we would only stay here again if nothing else was available

The room was quiet. We were on the top level so that may have helped. Rooms are lovely and spacious and the bed was comfortable. I saw you can request a matress topper before arriving so did that. Didn't check it was on there but the bed was very comfy. Lovely bathroom as well. Only negative was one of the days our room wasn't serviced (we had left the please make my room up sign on the door) and we had left the towels on the floor to be replaced so got back at 11pm needing a shower to have only wet towels and there's no reception that late to be able to get towels. We had left the room a bit after midday so maybe that's why? Did the same the next day though and housekeeping was still there and serviced the room.

Good location for a conference. The hotel very recently joined the Mantra/Accor group and staff were getting used to the new system. The small cafe/dining area was under-staffed some days but helpfully provided a ‘takeaway service’ rather than ‘room service’. The menu was limited but the food was good. Reception staff went above and beyond expectations helping out with printing, directions, and transport arrangements.

We stayed here while visiting family near McLaren Vale and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed with our baby and was supplied a porta cot for her. The staff were friendly and helpful. The cafe served a delicious breakfast. Only issue was the parking lot was very tight with not many spaces. We arrived back each night in the evening and there were no free spaces. Other than that a great hotel with a nice and clean, modern feel. Will happily stay again, hopefully the parking will be better next time
