At Mantra Mount Gambier, guests frequently mention very clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff, easy parking, and a handy location close to town and attractions, with good value for money noted by many short-stay travelers.

Some rooms are renovated and comfortable, but others feel dated, and noise from the highway or neighboring guests can affect light sleepers.

All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Loved the mussels in white wine in the dinner menu. The pool was being emptied presumably in preparation for the oncoming summer, so we missed out there.

The rooms were clean, tidy and well appointed. We were on the ground floor in a room close to the highway, which I was initially worried about, but there was surprisingly little road-noise to be heard. We were too late booking a table in the restaurant but their full menu is available through room service which was excellent. Reception staff were incredibly welcoming and an asset to the hotel.

The room was dusty and dirty, hair on towels, cobwebs, holes and rips in curtain, could hear traffic from the highway as sliding door only has flick lock and glass isn’t double glazed. Gaps in door, allowing spiders etc to come in, thankfully found the fly spray. Staff were friendly. Other reviews say rooms being renovated but not sure if ours was one of them.

The standard room we got has an unpleasant smell. We turned on the air con and it was not that obvious then. The room was quiet even at night except that you could hear the noise of the bathroom ceiling fan of next door if they turned it on. Bed was comfortable.

You get what you pay for. Room was very cheap, but is very run down and in desperate need of repairs/renovations. Bed was comfy enough though and shower pressure was good. Hotel/restaurant part seemed to be pretty good but didn't eat or drink there as the prices were quite steep.
