#9 of 9 hotels in Southbank & South Wharf by Axel's take. Southbank & South Wharf is #3 of 9 places to stay in Melbourne. The best hotels in Southbank & South Wharf, ranked · Where to stay in Melbourne

Axel's take: 8.0/10

A practical Southbank base with apartment comforts, but check the pool before booking. a mid-range high-rise apartment hotel in Southbank, scored for what it is.

Imagine Marco is a mid-range apartment hotel, and we'd choose it for self-catering convenience rather than full-service polish. Kitchens, in-room laundry and separate living areas make longer stays easy; Woolworths opposite is especially handy. Recent Booking.com, Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful reception staff, comfortable beds and the walkable Southbank location. Higher-floor views are another strong draw.

The trade-offs are compact bedrooms in some layouts, occasional freeway noise, lift waits and uneven maintenance. Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, though some recent guests report dust or worn fittings. An Expedia guest staying in September 2026 reported the outdoor pool closed for repairs; reopening wasn't confirmed, so check directly if swimming matters. Some bookings exclude housekeeping, and a security deposit applies. We'd skip it for a polished, full-service hotel experience.

Best for: families wanting kitchen and laundry facilities; longer self-catering stays; Southbank sightseeing
Watch out for: pool repair closure reported in September 2026; compact bedrooms and occasional traffic noise; housekeeping excluded from some bookings
Location: Walkable to Crown and Southbank's riverfront, with a supermarket opposite.
Rooms: Useful kitchens and laundry; layouts vary, with some small bedrooms and reports of wear.
Cleanliness: Mostly praised across sites, with some recent dust and upkeep complaints.
Service: Friendly, helpful reception is one of the most consistent positives.
Amenities: Gym and outdoor pool listed; confirm pool reopening following September repair reports.
Fees and surprises: Security deposit applies; check housekeeping inclusions and parking arrangements, as listings conflict.
