I had a decent stay at Mantra On Russell. The room was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed that helped me rest well. However, I did notice some noise from outside due to the sliding doors leading to the balcony. The breakfast offered was tasty, but perhaps a bit limited in variety compared to higher-end places.
