Mantra on Russell

222 Russell Street, 3000 Melbourne, Australia –

Was rung by the hotel and offered an upgrade to a studio for extra $20 a night which I took. We arrived at the hotel at 1pm due to flight times and was told that the room wouldn't be ready until 2 (pretty standard) but if we wanted to upgrade to a better standard of studio (same size) for another $20 a night we could have a room immediately. Seriously! We were staying 4 days. We opted to wait. When we came back to he hotel after a walk around the shops we got our room which instead of having the 2 singles we had booked had one king. ( I was travelling with my adult daughter) This was quickly fixed but makes you wonder if there was in fact a need to make us wait in the first place it was a wednesday and did not seem overly busy. This combined with the fact that the fridge wasn't working because it needed defrosting (which again was quickly fixed) makes me think they were just trying to scam an extra $20 a night. Sorry should have put this in what I didn't like!

Steak was fab. For some reason my breakfast has always been cold, so better heated plates or more heat in restaurant. Cold before I sit down

눉When booking it say most rooms have a balcony so I didn't request one, wish I did as our room didn't and overlooked the top of other buildings which isn't pleasant but that's my only small complaint, also would be good if the in house restaurant did lighter options, Caesar salad, chicken chips and salad, but meat is large half a chicken, big steak portions and then you order chips etc on the side. Alighted menu would've made us eat there daily- this was a shopping trip for me and my mum
