Hotel berhampiran Western Australian Museum - Geraldton, Geraldton

A two site property, with two different ratings. We aware staying at The Mantra for 9 nights, during the period of my son’s wedding. We had booked a 3-bedroomed apartment for the entirety of the stay, to give us plenty of space. On arrival into the 3-bed apartment overlooking the road, it was dark, dated and quite frankly very dirty and need of a (very) deep clean. So back at reception, (after a brief discussion about the wind in Geraldton being the cause) Romena then came out to the reception and asked about my issues. Frankly she saved the day (well 10 days to be precise). She offered us a 2 bedroom apartment in the newer block by the marina (though we were on the car park side of the building). What a difference!! A modern bright apartment, all spotlessly clean, and although we only had 2 bedrooms there was still plenty of space. Romena came back up to the old apartment (17) and took pictures to show the state of the apartment to raise the matter with housekeeping. So without a doubt, stay in the new block, if you can can get a marina view, even better. We had an issue with our washing machine and I was offered the use of a machine in another room after guests had checked out, and the view was amazing. (Thanks to Donna from housekeeping for sorting out the use of the washing machine!!) Nonetheless we had a side view of the beach, and a great view over the town up to the HMAS Sydney memorial. Skeetas restaurant is situated in the same building, and we had breakfast there a couple of times, a takeaway dinner, and a few drinks overlooking the marina. So yes, I would definitely stay at the Mantra Geraldton again, but only in the new block!! Please upgrade the rooms in the other block to the same standard (indeed to the standard you would expect from a Mantra) to avoid guests being so disappointed!!

We stay here for one night as pit stop of our road trip, great location, spacious & nice room. love their amenities too, the shower gel, shampoo & conditioner smell so good! The only thing we want to share is they have only one lift, so on the day we check out it was under maintenance thus we have no choice and follow the instructions to use the emergency staircase to bring our luggage down to the car park, but the staff lock the emergency exit when we try to head down second time, it's very dangerous if emergency happen guest will then stuck in the building due to one small mistake of the staff.

Great location next to the beach with cinema and lots of shops cafés and restaurants in walking distance with off road secure parking. Very comfortable beds and nicely apponted tidy rooms. Great manager friendly and helpful. I've paid a lot more for a lot less. I have stayed several times and it's my prefferd place in Geraldton.

The location is easy to find but near a factory which can be quite noisy during early morning. The room is a little bit old.

This hotel is in terrible need of a refurbishment. Old furnishings and style. Curtain was falling down, towels were missing. Staff are friendly and the food was much then expected given the poor standard of the room. Would not recommend unless the location works for you.

We have stayed here before and I remembered the horrible rain shower head so I brought a shower cap. Lucky I did as they don't provide one. These heads are fashionable but a nuisance if you don't want to wet your hair. Which I don't! The water is hot and strong. There is s sign in the bathroom telling you hairdryers are available at reception. Another nuisance to have to trek there for a hairdryer. The rooms are nice and clean and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. Plenty of power points for recharging. Nice big screen TV that is well placed for watching from bed! One strange thing. There are 2 windows that face the courtyard and when the blinds are up everyone can see in! When they are down it's dark. You get 2 drink vouchers and the restaurant on site does good meals . Convenient secure parking behind gates. We would stay again
