Mantra Collins Hotel

Stayed here for business and the hotel was comfortable and adequate for my over night stay. The room was small but contained everything necessary for a good quick stay. I would not like to stay in the room for too many days. My room looked directly into a multi level car park so was quite uninspiring.
The lack of car parking was also an issue and only discounted rate available at the car park.
The property seemed very close to amenities and was clean and the staff excellent. With a small restaurant on site serving great food and a good breakfast.

Went there as alternative to Doc Coffee. First time and I asked for a large and they gave me a medium… I’m pretty certain I even paid for a large. So rather than call them on it I passive-​aggressively go write a review to get it off my chest.
Coffee’s nice though. Just wish they listened to me and got it right…

I travelled to Hobart for an overnight for work, but ended up staying for several after I was given a very nice suite. The room was great. I used their Internet service which was easy and fast, and I found the reception staff excellent.
Very happy with the stay.

Centrally located and great value, the Hotel Collins is recommended for short stays and business travellers.
The staff are all super friendly, the rooms are clean, spacious (Erin could do pilates on the floor!), comfy and reasonably well equipped (not much there if you wanted to make your own meals).
The breakfasts were also a highlight with a great continental selection and rather large servings of eggs and so on if you want.
One thing was the wifis were a tiny bit slow :/

A good solid three stars for location, super helpful staff and HUGE rooms with a well-​stocked kitchenette and living room area. Free Wi-​Fi earns the extra star. The Collins is a short stroll to The Waterfront, Salamanca and almost anywhere in central Hobart.
It feels more like an independent hotel with a modern feel and a lot of heart, rather than a boutique hotel because there is not a lot of character. They have a nice little café to the right of the lobby and there are ample options for food and coffee nearby.
Since my suite was directly above said café, it always smelled like what was cooking below. Not necessarily bad, but not something I’m used to. My floor also smelled of cleaning product so between the scent of sterility that greeted me upon exiting the lift, and the smell of the dinner special permeating into my room, my stay at The Collins was an olfactory journey that I wasn’t expecting.
All that said, I have no complaints. The rate was reasonable, the location great as I said and my room big and comfortable. Of all the places I stayed at during this trip to Australia, The Collins is the ONLY hotel that had an iPod dock on the radio in my bedroom so well done on that. The staff was also helpful in making sure I caught my airport bus for my flight back to The States.
As an FYI, the hotel rates at the carpark behind the hotel are VERY reasonable and it is secure. If you have a car, don’t hesitate to park it here.
So to sum up, good value at Hotel Collins. Not perfect, but there are a lot of pluses to make it worth staying here.
