I'm here in the middle of a 6 night stay. I'm attending a conference at the Brisbane convention centre so the proximity of the hotel is excellent. Only a few minutes walk which is nice. The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the South Brisbane train station, and maybe a little further to the South Bank station - you... More

I last visited Brisbane 8 years ago and was blown away by the change when I arrived this week. The Mantra is perfectly placed on the South bank- amongst an amazing array of gorgeous, relaxed restaurants and cafes. There are beautiful walking and cycle tracks along the river. The art gallery and convention centre are very close by and the... More

Stayed here for 2 nights for conference at convention centre. Arrived and quickly had to get ready for an important function. Came out of shower and found water had leaked all over bathroom floor and also outside bathroom and even under wall of bathroom to bedroom carpet. Called housekeeping who were kind and apologetic. They then call duty manager who... More

Positives; spacious one-bedroom self-contained apartment, clean carpets and generally well maintained (apart from numerous chips in the bathtub), great location if you want to be near South Bank and the Convention Centre. Negatives; over $300/night is pricey and worse still is the noise from the adjacent railway lines. If you're a early-morning person then you'd probably be ok (train frequency... More

This is a nice hotel. The bed is comfortable, room is a decent size and the staff are absolutely lovely. The location is great, although finding it and getting to the parking can be quite difficult if you aren't familiar with the area. The pool was alright, nothing to rave about, as was the gym and both were hard to... More

Booked two rooms - one for us, one for teanaged daughters. Got there very early (10am) and after a bit of confusion (they didn't have both rooms on the same booking) - they let us into our rooms then and there, which was great.
