Mantra South Bank

During my stay in Brisbane, I was put up at a hotel right next door to the convention centre where we had the meetings. The hotel is called Mantra South Bank. To be honest, it was more of an apartment rather than a hotel. The room was big, complete with a separate bedroom and loving area, plus a kitchenette and washing machine.

It was designed for a family on vacation rather than a single traveler as myself. But the room was cosy enough, serving a nice breakfast with vegetarian selection. Room service was very minimal however although the were plenty of cafe right next door within walking distance.

I didn't spent much time at the room however as my schedule was packed. The bed was more than adequate, in fact it was quite comfortable with great air-conditioning plus great shower. Nothing to complain really.

They have a gym and swimming pool but as I mentioned, I didn't have much time to spare there. The hotel was around 15 away from the city centre on foot, crossing a bridge and a nice park - where the Wheel of Brisbane was located.

It had a nice cafe by the lobby. The wifi was rather expensive, and there were plenty of shops and a pharmacy if you need to by any personal items.
