The rooms need to be badly updated. Light coming in from around the door at night was bright so made it hard to sleep. Very basic for the price

Avoid room 1002
Small pokey room overlooking rusty iron roof, bathroom door awkward to close when you went in due to space/configuration, hot water jug had something crusted into bottom of it so couldn't use, had to get the hot iron replaced (as bottom was filthy with brown muck from lack of cleaning) before I could iron my clothes - I'm sure other rooms may have been better & more spacious or nicer but mine wasn't a great experience.

Paid for one of the 'nicer' rooms. The floor smelt like stale vomit, the wifi didn't work, the clothes dryer didn't work and the parking was full. I was then redirected to another carpark which cost $138 for 2 days. And anytime any of these issues were brought to the counter staffs attention. Nothing happened. My room and parking for 2 adults cost around $850 for 2 nights. Biggest rip off I've ever experienced with a hotel. After complaining to the staff, I was told they'll be in contact to rectify it but still no phone call. Do yourself a favour and choose somewhere else, the Mantra on Queen is 3 star at best

Our room was ok, great view but I think I paid extra for that. The rooms bathroom was tiny and had ants in it. We only had 2 towels when we booked for 3 guests. It’s on a noisy street with a pub below and the windows don’t reduce the noise. No parking so had to park down the road and walk back. No restaurants on site or breakfast. The pool area and exterior of building is very run down. Staff were ok, not super friendly. Would not come back again.

Although it's called Mantra on Queen, the main entrance is not on Queen Street but around the back. I would not have felt comfortable returning to the hotel after dark due to the area and poorly lit access. On the good side, it was beautifully clean, and the bed was supremely comfortable. I also really appreciated the quality toiletries in sustainable (refillable) bottles.

An entire unit with kitchen and washing machine and room to move around, was much better than just having a bedroom with kitchenette - which I have previously booked elsewhere. Can always count on Mantra to be consistent and comfortable. Loved the sauna and the location close to the River and walking tracks as well as the city. A great place to stay for work or pleasure.

The girl on the front desk was talking about another customer (BIG NO NO) Who is actually my friend. I did not appreciate her exaggerating the story and what actually happened! Secondly, the locked at midnight and couldn't get in or out. I had an emergency at home with my son and my partner tried to get out but couldn't! Will never stay here again or recommend it. I own a day spa and will be advising everyone the same

Hi, Following a review with Expedia on Friday evening, Matthew from reception reached out with the below; I am able to offer you an upgrade to one of our newly refurbished 1 bedroom river views for no additional cost. We had gone out to lunch and they rang and said our room was ready and they needed our current room, so I said they could move our belongings. However when we returned we found that the room was of the same basic rundown quality of the previous room, and in fact if anything was smaller that the one we had moved from. It most certainly had NOT been refurbished,and if anything was a downgrade. They moved us from room 2703 to 2905. Yes we had a balcony, but given it’s probably just about large enough to actually stand on and we never used, or would have wanted to. Yes they allowed us to park in their car park for the last night, we had already paid $35 for a nights parking in some offsite car park. Incidentally there seemed to be plenty car parks available in the car park. So all in all a very disappointing end to our 5 day stay in Brisbane. Not impressed at all… Ken

Dear Ken. I am sorry to hear that we could not improve your stay with us at Mantra on Queen. Unfortunately due to the busy time of the year we were unable to accommodate our offer and I would like to be the first to apologise that this was not met. While we did our best to provide you with a better room, I am sorry to hear that you did not find this room to be an upgrade. We have passed on your feedback about the rooms to the owners of the units for their consideration. I understand your frustration with the parking. The available spaces in our parking would most likely have been from guests who left that morning. Ken, I thank you for taking time to provide our hotel with feedback. Kind regards, Matthew

Clean facilities and good location, feels dated but provides everything you need to have a comfortable stay at a reasonable price. Wouldn’t recommended bringing a large vehicle as parking is tight. However we did have a great stay and staff are very accommodating. Woolworths is just across the road for all your shopping requirements.

Did not have a pleasant experience. They told me I didn’t have a booking and acted like it was my fault and didn’t take notice of who I had booked with of the fact that payment had done through. Was pushed to the side to wait for an hour and the communication how they were going to solve the problem was unclear unhelpful and not very understanding. I had to approach them again to see what was going on. Was told someone would call me to discuss what the mishap was but no one did. Ended waiting in a friends room till they could find me one. Didn’t get one till 4pm with check in was 2pm. They were overly apologetic at all. Just so disappointing

Dear Guest, Thank-you for your review, This is very dissappointing to receive, considering you didnt technically stay at the property, and management were lenient - to allow you to checkout on the day of check-in without any penalty. (despite us not being able to sell this room again that evening) I recognise the property wasnt for you, and please rest assured we have shared this feedback with the owner of the room to consider making immediate upgrades. Feedback is really important to us, but its also damaging to receive poor scores when we have made personal amends with you at property level. Warm Regards Thomas Luck General Manager

Be aware of the panned tv music. Great staff.
Wonderful staff but ... this was a Xmas present from our young sons, 3 nights away. First night we could hear this music continuously playing wasnt sure where it was coming from. By 5am we felt we had a bad case of jet lag. Went down to reception early to let reception know. Long story short was Panned music from the tv in empty room next door, was then turned off until our last night .Rang reception at 10.30 pm to ask if anyone was going to be in the next room and if not could they turn if off again. Which they did did within half an hour. Don’t usually complain but this is the only thing which put a damper on the whole trip. Parking was abit tight wouldn’t recommend a 4 wheel drive in there but parks were available, which is $20 per night. Close to Woolworths, chemist & bottle shop. Bus route is good to Southbank also. Staff are very nice.

Hello Janette. Thank you for taking the time to review, and we apologise it took such a long time to respond to your feedback. We are always thrilled to hear feedback on the friendliness of our staff and I will be sure to pass this onto the team. We do apologies for the loud music in the room next to you. We play the music in rooms to make it more lively upon entry, but we will let the housekeeping team know this to ensure it does not disrupt nearby rooms. Again, I would like to thank you for taking time to give the hotel feedback as we are always looking to improve, and without feedback we could not do that. Warm regards, Matthew
