Guest reviews for Imagine Marco
Will not return to this property. The apartment was clean, however, it here was a suspect stain on the bedsheets and hairs all over one side of unchanged pillow cover. It smelled stale. There is a long wait for the lifts. The pool was nice for a swim but also lots of chewing gum debris and cigarette buts around pool edge. I didn’t put my head under the water! On the plus side, very comfortable bed. Poor location in a dirty part of town. Lots of litter in surrounding streets including condoms on footpath, sanitary products and small deal bags. Never again.

Dear Guest, Thank you for advising us of your experience and the areas you found improvements can be made. We value our guests and review all feedback to improve our standards and product. Apologies for the unclean bed sheets, pillow cover and pool area. We have discussed this feedback with the department managers. Unfortunately we are having heavy construction in the area at the moment because of the future growth of Southbank and as result, litter in surrounding streets. Thank you for taking the time to review us. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Imagine Marco Team.
very tidy and clean and the staff were friendly and smiley

Such a beautiful hotel, the room was super clean and spacious, staff were so friendly. We came down to Melbourne for a concert, it was about a 15 minute walk to the Rod Laver Arena. Everything else was really close too. We have definitely found our perfect hotel next Melbourne! Will be returning shortly!!

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your review, we are thrilled to read your stay with us was an enjoyable one and that our staff showed great customer service. We look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel in the future. Kind Regards, The Imagine Marco Team
Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Receptionist assistant with changing rooms as the room booked was smaller than anticipated. Provided a discount to upgrade the room to a higher category room. Room was clean and the view amazing. The only recommendation is there was two irons in the room, of which one was broken and the other one had a lot of calcium buildup, but overall a fantastic place and we would stay again.

I would expect to get a carpark in a near new building. I was told there were none available and to try the carpark around the corner, this was full of workers cars as there is alot of construction in the area. The building had no bar or cafe. There was no information in the room of nearby facilities. The balcony was very dirty and had no furniture. TV reception kept dropping out.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review Imagine Marco. Your feedback is important to us, it allows us to improve and develop our product at Imagine Marco. We do apologise for the lack of car parking facilities as we only have very limited car spaces and they do fill very quickly on busy days. We are very lucky to be close to some of the best restaurants and cafe's in Southbank which are a short walk away. We have notified Housekeeping on the dirty balcony. We hope to welcome you back. Kind Regards, Imagine Marco Team.
Very, very noisy at night diue to location. Rooms were not very clean but the worst part was the staff. Rude and unfriendly and felt like we were treated poorly because we booked through Wotif.
