Mantra South Bank Brisbane

“Would highly recommend this property”

A great hotel to stay in Brisbane. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely and a great view. This property is within walking distance to the CBD and the river ferry as well as river bank walks. A lot of cafes close by.

“Great value”

Pulling up in front of the Mantra to park in Grey Street is a little dicy ; there are only a few "10 minute" spaces and they are mostly taken, so we had no choice but running the risk of an "illegal parking" fine during check-in (the receptionist told me not to worry).

Pulling up in front of the Mantra to park in Grey Street is a little dicy ; there are only a few "10 minute" spaces and they are mostly taken, so we had no choice but running the risk of an "illegal parking" fine during check-in (the receptionist told me not to worry). We opted to use the valet parking, which costs $ 50/night. As Accor Members we were upgraded to room 706, which was a spaceous 1-bedrm unit with everything you could possibly need (large kitchen/living area, bed- and bathroom). Everything modern, clean and practical. The staff had really pampered us with a welcome bottle of red and Easter treats. The A/C was really cold and I could not figure the control panel to turn it down or switch off, so a staff member came up to assist ; but she was unable to work it either and suggested we open the window, which would disable the system . . . There is a narrow 20m lap-pool on the second floor and a good size gym as well. Breakfast is on the ground floor in Ovello ; it is a-la-carte and the breakfast package allows you "one of each". We were rather disappointed in the quality of food : no fresh orange juice, thick slices of fat-drenched bread, pre-mix eggs. Check-out was unpleasant : due to a "system error" we were overcharged, but front-desk staff refused to resolve this mistake on the spot and had to "consult with management first". Only after my follow-up email this charge was refunded (with an apology). These minor issues don't diminish our overall opinion of Mantra South Bank : the hotel has a superb location (especially if attending a QPAC event), the standard of room and amenities is excellent and it offers great value for money.

“Smells but could just be my room….”

Nice things. Staff at front counter provided an upgraded room facing the city. room was 504. Bad things. Number of unpleasant smells in the rooms and corridor. Noise from the street via motorcycles. Room a little rough with curtains hanging (had to fix if l wanted to sleep), bathroom could do with new mirror and caulking. Sofa has some unnecessary stains. Late arrival and only staying a night, otherwise l would have asked for another room.
