"I had a fantastic stay there from 14.05.2025 and checked out on 20.05.2025. Initially, supposed to be there for 2 days only, however the facility and service provided by the friendly staff changed my plans to stay there until I had to leave Australia on 20.05.2025. Thank you Metro Marlow staffs I have recommended you my relatives and workmates here in Fiji."

"The hotel was completely and meticulously renovated. 😀 I am blown away by the sleek and simple yet modern and elegant hotel lobby . The high ceiling and the bricks give a voluminous feel. The hotel reception very friendly and proactive. The room floor consistent in terms of design and use of colour. Very eye soothing. The location unbeatable and surrounded by heaps of eateries and shops. Distance to central station only 5 min by foot. Super nice hotel and will come back"

"Central Mandela Hotel is in the city center, very conveniently located! It is less than 10 minutes walk from the train station. Take the intercity train L8 line from the airport to the central Station train station, and then walk to the hotel. The day trip meeting place is also at this train station. There is a light rail line 1/2/3 at the hotel entrance, which can go to Darling Harbour. The ticket is 2.75 and it takes 5 minutes. There is a small platform in the room for ventilation, and the room is spacious and bright. Before leaving, please ask the front desk to ask for a taxi to the airport for 46 Australian dollars. The service is very good. The air conditioning in the room is easy to use, and there is a microwave and a stove to cook some simple meals. There are bowls and plates. There is a large supermarket in the market city opposite, which has everything! There is an Italian restaurant 100 meters walk from Mandela, which serves super delicious pizza and pasta. There is a seafood restaurant diagonally opposite, which is very expensive. A 1.1 kg Australian lobster costs 320 Australian dollars, and there is an additional fee for noodles."

"We’ve already stayed at this hostel a month prior to this stay and we had a great time once again. Great value for money! Would recommend if you’re looking for an affordable place to stay close to Chinatown."

"Not bad, quite affordable. Although small, it is clean and tidy."

"The location of the stay was close to everything. Easy access to paddy market, china town and town hall. The bed was good but the restroom and shower room was too small. You can just do the same position for the entire shower and is easy to get all your change cloth wet as well due to the small area in the shower place."

"My recent 7-day stay. While the location of the hotel is fantastic and made our trip convenient, there were some concerns regarding cleanliness that I feel need to be addressed. During our stay, my husband and I noticed that the cleanliness of the room, particularly the bedding, did not meet expectations. We were uncertain if the sheets were changed during our stay hence made a request at the front desk that our bedding needs to be changed. On several occasions, after returning to our room late in the evening, we found that the sheets were still dirty, which was quite disappointing. As guests on holiday, we expected a certain level of cleanliness, particularly with something as fundamental as bed linens. Unfortunately, we were too tired to address it with the front desk at the end of long days. We ended up sleeping on just one side of the bed. I believe that with a little more attention to detail in housekeeping, this could be an area for significant improvement. Cleanliness is one of the most basic expectations when staying at a hotel, and I hope this feedback helps ensure future guests do not encounter similar issues."

"Has stayed a few times here, always preferred to stay here because of the access to a kitchen and laundry. However, this experience is the worst I had. Was sick during one of the days (had diahorrea and fever) and one of the days there, the water was out, couldn't flush the toilet. Called reception but couldn't get to them so waited from early to late morning to get the plumbing fixed. Next, the light dropped and water started seeping out when I on the aircon. Had just walked passed the cooridor so fortunately missed it if not the light would have hitted my head."

"This was a little staycation for us - the location was fantastic for us as we were seeing shows at ICC and Lyric theatre both walkable. The accommodation was clean, kitchen well equipped with everything you need. Basic studio room but comfortable. We didn’t have much to do with staff apart from original check-in which was quick and uncomplicated except we did extend our stay but had to check-in twice 🤷♀️ We will stay here again as it was so convenient to everything."
