Mantra at Sharks

Stay is good, ample parking space. Not much amenities at the hotel but its sufficient for a basic stay. Theres a rooftop restaurant which is convenient.

I had a pleasant stay at Mantra@Sharks ( Sharks is a large Australian Rules Football sporting/social club ) It is also very near the largest public hospital on the Gold Coast. I had a medical operation and decided to stay at Mantra for 5 days in case I needed medical assistance after the operation. I explained the situation to Tamara on the front desk and she did many things to help me both before arrival and on the day I checked in, The rooms are comfortable, clean and functional, there is a rooftop bar ( wednesday to sunday ) and room service but I ate at the club next door.I It is a 10-12 minute walk to the hospital and underneath the hospital is the light rail station where you can easily get to Southport, Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. I think the Mantra is ideal for the drive market and if you are driving to the Gold Coast and don't need ocean views, the Mantra is a great choice. ( Just a tip, bring your own pillows because the pillows on the bed take a bit of getting used to )

Room was spacious, clean and seems new. Love the carpark which links straight to lobby. They were very nice and gave us a sweet message and treat as my husband and I were on our honeymoon trip. Downside was on the security deposit. They charge it to my card and refunded only after a few days. If it is a hold amount, there should not be any charges. If they charged the amount, the refund should be immediate on the same day. We booked assessable room which was for the handicap. The doors are automated etc. The reception said they were unable to reach me by phone call and they couldn't email me because I booked via third party vendor. It would have been better if they can contact via email which they chose not to. This is something which they could have improved and definitely will improve our stay experience. Other than this, everything else was great! Note: When we drove to Mantra, right in front of the hotel was a cemetery. Just in case anyone superstitious, this info may be helpful.
