Mantra Airport's page is all about the flight. Accor lists a free on-demand shuttle to Melbourne International Airport, which it calls four minutes away. The hotel ranks seventeenth of nineteen, on 10 points, tied with two other airport hotels.
By our routing the pier is 14.1 road miles (22.6 km) and 24 minutes away with no traffic — the nearest of the five airport hotels, and still nowhere near it. The shuttle goes to the airport, not the pier.
An Interconnecting Family Suite sleeps up to four. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out by 10:00. The page names no pool, restaurant, kitchen, breakfast or parking terms, and pets aren't allowed.
I'd book it for the family suite and the free shuttle, not for the evening — look elsewhere if the evening matters.
Book it if
- You're landing at the airport and want a free, on-demand ride to the door
- Four of you need one room, and the Interconnecting Family Suite sleeps up to four
- You want the airport hotel nearest the pier, even at 14.1 road miles
Look elsewhere if
- A pool or restaurant is part of your evening — the page names none.
- You need breakfast terms in hand before you book.
- You want to be near the ship, not 24 minutes from it.
14.1 miles out, with a shuttle pointing the other way
The 14.1 road miles (22.6 km) is our routing, since Accor says nothing about the cruise terminal. The free shuttle points at the airport.
Free and on demand, per Accor, and four minutes by its count. Ask for the shuttle hours before you rely on it.
Hotel shuttle
No ride to the pier is listed — the free shuttle runs on demand to the airport only.
No rail or tram stop is listed, so the rail link scores nothing.
Guest parking at Mantra Airport, if you drive: Not stated.
The shuttle serves the airport, so the pier means a taxi.
Landing the night before? Ask about the shuttle hours.
Which terminal
Station PierPorts Victoria runs the pier's passenger information, and the Melbourne cruise guide covers who sails when.

~14.1 road mi, our routingAccor prints nothing about the cruise terminal, so we measured the pier ourselves.
Source: all.accor.comTo the ship
No shuttle statedThe free shuttle ends at the airport, so a taxi has to cover the ship.
Source: all.accor.comTen points: the airport band, then nothing
Ten of 30 for the airport band is all it earns; with no pool, restaurant or kitchen named, everything else is zero. The scale runs to 100.
Out by 10:00, then a 24-minute cab
Check-out is by 10:00, so work the taxi back from your boarding window. The shuttle doesn't go to the pier.
No pool, restaurant or kitchen turns up on Accor's page.
Book the taxi yourself; the free shuttle stops at the airport.
Breakfast terms aren't on the page.
For Station Pier, a cab is what's left, since the page lists no other ride.
No parking terms on the page.
A thin page, and what's on it
The evening
Nothing we could countThere's nothing on the page to count for the evening, and that's why the score stops where it does.
Free breakfast

Limited, charged, no rateThe hotel's own spaces are the open question, not the pier's.
Parking at the pier instead? Ports Victoria lists limited, charged spaces at Waterfront Place with no rate, and says the pier has no luggage storage. The Melbourne parking page and our tram notes take it from there.
