Mantra Southbank Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic for families! The 6 of us stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment which had so much space and 2 bathrooms plus a laundry. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well resourced and the apartment was clean although a little tired in spots. The breakfast was a great addition and the kids loved the pool and spa. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay again."

8/10 Good

"A good 4 night stay in a spacious and very clean small apartment in a convenient location. Short walk to Southern Cross Station and Docklands Stadium. 15 min walk to MCG. Numerous great restaurants, cafes and bars in the area. Good hot water and water pressure, good WiFi. Excellent kitchen and equipment for longer stay. Washer and Dryer. Table, chairs, lounge. Balcony with furniture. Fob secure access to building, lifts and room. Nice friendly staff. Bed was on the floor (i.e. no legs on base) and wasn't the most comfortable, but otherwise a reasonable price and fairly comfortable stay. Would stay again."
