We booked well ahead to secure a 1 bedroom top floor balcony unit for New Years Eve. The unit was spacious and well equipped, with a comfy queen bed. The Mantra is centrally located to Southbank cultural facilities and a wide range of restaurants. We included breakfast with our booking and found the restaurant excellent and staff friendly. We had an excellent front row seat for the fireworks on our balcony. Highly recommended for a great view!

My 1st time staying in mantra brand and idk what to expect but I know everything in QLD is bigger, and boy, the most basic category I booked is 55sqm apartment! I came from Hong Kong to Brisbane for first time, and I chose mantra south bank for my 4nts coz it is 5mins walk from the South Brisbane train station where I take a direct airtrain from Brisbane Airport, 7mins walk from Museum bus interchange or busway station, and 5mins walk from Citycat ferries which is too convenient for me when I went to concert at Riverstage one night (which is at the other side of the river) My flight arrived in the morning so I did know my room is not gonna be ready till afternoon. Thank you Grey, who is kind enough for allowing me to store luggage and give me a brief heads up on the weather and what's on nearby, especially Brisbane's ever changing weather. This hotel has their lower floors as hotels while higher floors as residences so you can expect a full furnished setup, with open kitchen, washing machine, bathtub, living room and balconies. However, the hotel setup is pretty basic, or should I say, empty. And there is no drapes or full divider for bathtub so 90% chance you will have water splashed out when showering. Bottled water is not provided complimentary but upon request, even for me as Accor membership number. However, I am given sparkling instead of still when I asked for 2 bottles. Interestingly, they would assume I want it sparkling when I ask for simply water. But it is a very good stay, also thanks to Jennifer the manager for finding the adapter I am much in need for Oceania continent, and Zac for allowing me to keep it as I continue my journey to Auckland (of course, paid, and A$20 is good deal for my usage in the next 7 days too) If you are family or couple coming for long trip or just arriving for short term stay before settling in, this is a great choice to stay, and it is super convenient around.

“Great location”

Great Location in the middle of Southbank. Huge rooms with lots of space, we stayed in a city view room with a balcony. Great shower pressure and nice shampoo, etc. too. Staff all friendly and helpful. Would stay here again and enjoyed the hot tub near pool too.
