Location and accessibility are really the best of Mantra Sydney Central. All tourist attractions are closed by and easily accessible either by bus, tramp and even by walk. If you want cooking, the facility is available in the room.

Ananda Sri Lanka

Location in proximity to the city centre; also Chinatown tram station is right in front of the hotel door, so very convenient.

Lilian United Arab Emirates

Location great to all visitor places. Went to see Moulin Rouge...great location.

Mandy Australia

Location was fantastic with the tram stop directly outside the door we were able to reach all our destinations at ease. We also found parking was close and didnt have to carry bags through city blocks just to get to the hotel.

Sarah Australia

Staff will to make changes to make you confortable

Roy United Kingdom

The location was good, the room was of good size and the overall facilities were up to standard

Oriana Australia

We were really happy with our room. It was clean and comfortable, with a huge lounge. There was a bathtub and balcony which were bonuses that we didn't expect. The light rail stop was right outside the hotel which made getting around the city so easy. We loved the Mantra City Central for the location and the comfort of the room.

Tracy Australia

The Staff went out of their way for my Sons 12th Birthday. We had room 1212 with Birthday Balloons and a Jigsaw. We really appreciate the effort. Thank you very much.

John Australia

I was rehabilitating from double knee replacements and the studio room was just perfect. Staff exceptional. Great location. Would definitely recommend,

Marion Australia

Located close to Central Station and with a light rail stop outside the door it is perfectly located to get around Sydney with ease. Right across from the Capitol Theatre which is why we chose to stay here. Beds were comfy. Kitchenette facilities were more than expected.
