Mantra South Bank Brisbane

Set on bustling Grey Street the centre of the South Bank arts and culture district and adjacent to the Brisbane River and South Bank Parklands, this contemporary hotel is set between both South Brisbane and South Bank train stations for easy access. The hotel is close to all South Bank has to offer. There is also the recently opened Ovello Bar & Kitchen, a light, bright and bubbly Italian style bar & eatery open for a la carte breakfast and dinner. Amenities include a heated pool, spa and gym.

Mantra South Bank is the ultimate city escape and its location makes it the perfect Riverfire accommodation. Enjoy some exercise or just relax in the 20 metre lap pool. There's also a spa, 24 hour reception.

The hotel's own Ovello Bar & Kitchen is inspired by relaxed Mediterranean holidays, colourful parasols and the casual vibes of the Amalfi Coast. Experience a generous spritz offering, authentic stone-baked pizza and humble Italian share plates.

Marcus E. Solo - 3/7/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Thanks so much to Adrian and the mantra south bank team for looking after me. Had a great time at Mantra South Bank. I was going to see Carl Barron at QPAC up the road and thought I would have a mini weekend away at mantra South bank. Great service as usual and any shows I’m seeing at QPAC I’ll always try and book Mantra South Bank due to close proximity to QPAC and other places in South Bank.

Hi Marcus, Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing to stay with us again. We’re so pleased to hear you had another great stay and that our team, especially Adrian, helped make your visit enjoyable. It’s wonderful that you made a mini weekend getaway of it while attending the Carl Barron show at QPAC — South Bank is certainly a great place to enjoy a show and relax. Your kind words about our service and location mean a lot to the entire team. We truly appreciate your loyalty and are delighted to know that Mantra South Bank will be your preferred place to stay whenever you’re visiting QPAC. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next show or weekend escape. Warm regards, Noah Rolex

Charmaine H. Families - 3/2/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall the experience was good. We ate breakfast and dinner there and found the staff to be extremely helpful expect the evenings, they appeared under staffed. Even though the person taking our order had been shown my membership card and gave us our welcome drinks - upon check out it was found that the meal discount hadn’t been applied. I don’t blame the person doin this, as there were only 2 staff and they were trying their hardest to get everyone served in a timely manner. On check in, I had asked about having the room ready early both in the phone call I had received the day earlier and at check in - we arrived around 11:15 and I knew it wouldn’t be ready then but just wanted an approx time so I knew how far to explore - the young girl behind the counter was a little abrupt in telling me repeatedly that an early check in isn’t guaranteed. Even the lady standing beside me waiting to be served commented on how abrupt she was, when all I wanted was an approx time. I had my elderly parents with me and didn’t want to get dad to walk to far to only get a phone call to say it was ready. I did deal with her later in my stay and on that occasion she was lovely, perhaps she was flustered from the morning check out process on our check in but it’s not a great first impression of the hotel.

Dear Charmaine, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and for your continued loyalty as a Platinum ALL member. We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your overall stay, particularly the accommodation, breakfast and dinner, and that our team member on Friday made such a positive impression. We sincerely apologise for the meal discount not being applied at check-out. While we appreciate your understanding regarding staffing levels, we will review this to ensure member benefits are processed correctly. We’re also sorry your check-in experience felt abrupt. We understand you were simply seeking an approximate time to plan your morning with your elderly parents, and we regret that this left a poor first impression. However, we are thrilled we were able to turn your stay into a positive experience and have you leave us a score of 100! We truly value your feedback and look forward to welcoming you and your family back again soon... Warmest regards, Eva Mantra Southbank Brisbane

Bryan M. Couples - 3/2/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

For the cost I expected better. 1) The floor we were on clearly needs to be updated. As soon as we stepped out of the lift, it smelled musty & the hallway carpet was worn through in spots. 2) The room smelled musty & there were further worn patches of carpet. 3) The room was booked for 2 people but there was only 1 bath towel in the room. Positive - The room was very large when compared to other hotels I've stayed at.

Dear Mr M., Thank you for sharing your feedback following your recent stay with us. While I’m very pleased to see your high ratings for our team, breakfast, cleanliness, and overall service experience, I’m sorry that aspects of your accommodation did not meet expectations. In particular, I apologise for the musty odour and worn carpet areas you encountered in both the hallway and your room. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and your comments have been shared with our Maintenance and Housekeeping teams for review and follow-up. Please also accept my apologies for the room being set with only one bath towel. This was clearly an oversight in preparation and should have been correct prior to your arrival. We do appreciate you noting the generous room size and the positive service from our team. Thank you again for your constructive feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless experience in the future. Kind regards, Melita Front Office Assistant Manager
