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.

It was great except for the horrible strong smell of sour milk in the hallway carpet outside room 730.

Thank you for your wonderful rating and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you had a great stay overall. We do apologise for the unpleasant odor you experienced in the hallway outside your room, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Mantra Southbank for an even more comfortable visit in the future. Kind regards, Oli Mantra South Bank

Well located amongst food and restaurants but the room was quite average. Its good enough for the price. Customer service was excellent.

Dear Sally, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed our location and found the surrounding food and restaurant options convenient. We appreciate your honest comments regarding the room and are pleased to hear you felt it offered good value for the price. It’s especially lovely to know our customer service made a positive impression. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. 😊 Kind regards, Jennifer

The Mantra is well located on Southbank, close to everything including QPAC and restaurants. It was disappointing to only have one lift available and as there are numerous floors for residents, this lead to large delays in getting to our room. In addition on the Saturday night there was a loud band/music playing and you could hear it through the room, no soundproofing, and it didn't finish until well after midnight. Left incredibly early the next morning after getting no sleep.

Dear Amber, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased you found our Southbank location convenient, particularly being close to QPAC and local dining options. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the limited lift availability during your stay and the delays this created. We also regret the disturbance you experienced from external noise on Saturday night. We understand how disruptive this would have been, especially when it impacted your ability to rest, and we’re very sorry this affected your overall experience. Your comments have been shared with our team as we continue to look for ways to improve guest comfort. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and hope we may have the opportunity to provide a more restful stay in the future. Kind regards, Jen

Troy S. Families - 1/26/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The Mantra South Bank Brisbane is in a fantastic location. The pool was lovely and breakfast was delicious. Unfortunately, our room had a damp / mould / water leak issue which made our stay really un-pleasant when in the room. The damp / mouldy smell was prominent from the hallway, before even entering the room. On our final morning, we were looking for a spoon and noticed that the cutlery draw in the kitchenette was full of water. The room was comfortable, but the damp smell was realty off putting. Unfortunately, my son and I both ended up with a chest cold a few days later on the next part of our holiday. It was a real shame as we loved the hotels' location. After getting sick, i wished we had of pushed for another room.

Hi Troy, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed our location, pool, and breakfast, and that these aspects of your stay made a positive impression. However, we are truly sorry to hear about the damp/mold issue in your room and the impact it had on your stay. This is not the standard we aim to deliver, and we sincerely apologize for the discomfort and inconvenience it caused you and your son. We take concerns about damp and mold very seriously, and we appreciate you bringing the issue to our attention. The situation you described – particularly the water in the cutlery drawer – is unacceptable, and we have immediately reported this to our maintenance team for urgent investigation and resolution. We also understand how distressing it must have been to feel unwell following your stay. While we cannot change what happened, we would like to assure you that we are reviewing our room inspections and maintenance processes to prevent a recurrence. If you are open to it, we would appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please contact us directly at [Hotel Email/Phone] so we can discuss your stay further and explore how we may restore your confidence in our hotel. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future under much better circumstances. Warm regards, Noah Rolex
