I enjoyed my stay with the Mantra Tullamarine during a fleeting business trip to Melbourne. The front office staff where so helpful from the moment I walked into the foyer. The food from the menu and the breakfast buffet within the Woodlands Restaurant were terrific, including the service. If you are looking for a hotel not far from Melbourne Airport, I would definitely consider a stay with the Mantra Tullamarine.

We stayed here as we booked it as a mystery deal on wotif and had an early flight out the next morning. It was a bit luxurious in some ways however it wasn't as great as expected. The carpet outside our bathroom and in our hall to the door was all wet when we arrived, and the heating/cooling system was particularly loud so much so that we went without during the night. The price for wifi was ridicilous at $15 for two hours - you would think it would come free with the price of the hotel! On a positive note though they had a lovely salt water pool which was relaxing after being on our feet all day, and the drive to the airport in the morning was short.

Approximate cost: $145
