My wife and I came to Brisbane one day before starting the cruise on the Sun Princess and because that we chose the Mantra SouthBank Brisbane Hotel. The location is excellent, close to several restaurants,Convention Centre , Performing Arts Centre and just in front of South Bank Parklands. Very easy access from the airport. We took a bus straight from the airport to the hotel (AU 20.00 per person).
We reached the hotel at 1:30 PM and the receptionist said there was no room to give us at that time and that the check in time was at 02:00 PM. We left our bags and went to eat something.
The room had a good size, carpeted, with TV LCD 27 " , micro sound system and also a DVD player. The bathroom was good size with a hairdryer. I also had a clothes iron and plank.
The next day we went down to the ground floor to take the breakfast . Pleasant surprise! Excellent buffet style breakfast with the possibility of asking for espresso coffee (extra fee). Various fruits (tasty) natural juices (not canned) and various types of breads.
After the breakfast we ask about a late check out and we were told that the hotel departure time (check out) was 10:00 AM and we could stay until 11:00 AM without extra cost. We paid with credit card and we were amazed to learn that the hotel charged 2% fee on credit card payments. Not even in India or Asia I had seen this "extra fee"!!!
