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.

Dominic M. Business - 3/25/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was not clean and very dated. Room was smelly and the air conditioning did not work well. The hotel price was very expensive for what you get. The breakfast was average. This is a 3 star hotel at best and charges a fortune for the location. I would not stay at this hotel.

While the location was nice, we found the hotel itself a mixed bag. The staff at the desk were lovely, staff at the bar were difficult, we had a great table staff support us in the restaurant. Did valet parking but there was nowhere to park and were told to park in the turning lane and valet would be "right there" and then had to wait 12 minutes for the valet while parked in the actual turn lane. We had a room that had a lovely balcony, but the room itself the housekeeping staff hadn't completed cleaning with the entire shampoo bottle missing from the room all together, the shower smelling of mould, and no replacement toilet paper. These issues were shared with the front desk and they did address these, but it is a concern that it happened at all. The room smelled musty and the air conditioning vent got pulled up into the ceiling which was very disconcerting. Pool was nice. For a Mantra, it didn't feel like a quality experience and made us want to return to other hotels in the area we usually use including Rydges, Novotel and downtown Marriott and Westin. The responsiveness of the staff was helpful in addressing some of our concerns, but does not clear up the concern about overall practices.

Dear Alyssa, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your recent experience with us. I would also like to sincerely thank you for your kind comments regarding some of our team members—it is always encouraging to hear when their efforts have made a positive impression. At the same time, I am truly sorry to learn that several aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you experienced with valet parking, the condition of your room upon arrival, and the inconsistencies in service. Your feedback is both valid and appreciated, and I completely understand your concerns. While I am pleased to hear that our front desk team was able to respond and address some of the issues during your stay, this does not diminish the importance of ensuring everything is properly prepared prior to your arrival. The matters you’ve raised, particularly regarding housekeeping standards and maintenance concerns, have been shared with the relevant teams for immediate review and corrective action. We are committed to providing a comfortable and seamless experience for all of our guests, and it is clear we fell short on this occasion. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve both our service delivery and internal processes. I do hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to restore your confidence in our hotel. Should you choose to return, please feel free to contact me directly, and I would be more than happy to assist with your arrangements. Thank you again for your honest feedback and for your understanding.

The online booking needs fine tuning. Can't change dates - have to cancel and rebook. Phone booking - equally frustrating - staff need more training. You'd be better having booking direct with hotel staff- less confusion.

arrived around 9pm. unhelpful and grumpy assistant manager did check in.

Hi Nicholas, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I am very sorry to hear about your experience during check-in. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and I apologise that you were made to feel unwelcome after your arrival. Please be assured that your comments have been taken seriously and will be addressed directly with the assistant manager involved. We are committed to delivering a warm, professional, and helpful experience to all our guests, and it is clear we fell short on this occasion. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it gives us the opportunity to improve. I do hope we will have the chance to welcome you back and provide you with a much better experience in the future. Kind regards, Noah Rolex
