Kimkim team favorite · 4.7 (3 reviews) · Comfort
Urban-inspired hotel with loft-style rooms, a rooftop pool, spa, gym, and an on-site bar and restaurant

Overview

Mantra 2 Bond Street is an urban-inspired hotel in the middle of Sydney. Here, you'll be close to various attractions, such as the famous Royal Botanic Gardens and Sydney Opera House, which are both about a 15-minute walk away. You can reach Circular Quay with just a 10-minute walk, and Darling Harbour is less than a mile away. To explore more of the city and its surroundings, you can hop on the Bridge Street light rail, its station just across the street from the hotel. 

Mantra 2 Bond Street guest rooms are inspired by New York loft-style apartments. The accommodation options revamped by Arkhefield, an award-winning architecture and interior design firm, include studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and a three-bedroom penthouse. Rooms are bright and airy, thanks to large windows and an open-plan layout. The spaces are fully equipped and decorated with pendant lighting, sleek dark surfaces, and bursts of color for a modern look. 

Hotel amenities include a fully equipped gym, a heated rooftop lap pool, and a spa. From the rooftop, you can unwind while overlooking the Sydney cityscape and harbor views. For dining, the Memento Lounge & Bistro, a modern restaurant and bar, offers an extensive a la carte menu in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Here, you can enjoy modern food with a traditional touch and a selection of Australian and International wines.

This is a large high-rise hotel in central Sydney. It appears to be a converted apartment building. The "room" was huge -- separate bedroom, full bathroom, sitting room (parlor?), full kitchen, and living/dining room. Much larger than we really needed but it was a pleasant surprise. The apartment was showing some signs of wear and probably is due for some renovations (at least a thorough carpet cleaning or replacement). That being said, it was a very comfortable stay for us.

This is a large high-rise hotel in central Sydney. It appears to be a converted apartment building. The "room" was huge -- separate bedroom, full bathroom, sitting room (parlor?), full kitchen, and living/dining room. Much larger than we really needed but it was a pleasant surprise. The apartment was showing some signs of wear and probably is due for some renovations (at least a thorough carpet cleaning or replacement). That being said, it was a very comfortable stay for us. Unfortunately the view from the apartment (windows in the bedroom and in the living room) was disappointing -- just adjacent buildings (not even a street view) with only a narrow glimpse of the skyline if we craned our neck.

Although there was a small restaurant in the lobby (open only for breakfast), breakfast was not included in our Kimkim booking (I think we had expected it to be included). We ate there anyway our first morning -- a minimal menu and expensive. We ate down on the waterfront the next morning.

Authenticity & Character
Apparently an older building but the lobby and hallways are very modern. A better view from the windows would have been an improvement.
Location
Right in downtown Sydney. Easy walk to the waterfront and other sites.
Staff
Maybe a little more friendly or engaging. They were pleasant but, in retrospect, nothing stands out as remarkable.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The comfort was fine and the apartment was huge (two TVs, two sofas, dining table and chairs, sitting chairs, and more). But overall, it was showing some age... a little "tired". The carpet was in need of a good cleaning or replacement, the tile in the bathroom needed some grout work... things like that. That being said, it worked nicely for us.
