About
Imsa Group
Imsa Group Hotel Melbourne sits on City Road in Southbank, a 25-minute walk from State Library Victoria and a short tram ride from the city's main sights. The property is built around apartment-style accommodation, so each room includes a kitchen area, a washing machine, and a separate sitting space.
On-site facilities cover the essentials for a longer stay: an indoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a tennis court, and paid parking. The hotel's elevated position is a recurring theme in guest feedback, with several reviews noting quiet, southerly views from the rooms.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Walkable Southbank location — Guests repeatedly single out the position – close to the Yarra, Crown Casino, Southbank cafes, and tram stops, with supermarkets and Flinders Street station within walking distance.
- Self-catering apartments — Each unit comes with a kitchen (fridge, oven, cookware), a washing machine and dryer, plus tea and coffee facilities – a practical set-up for longer stays.
- On-site pool, gym, and tennis court — The indoor swimming pool, fitness centre, and a tennis court are available for guests, which is more than many apartment hotels offer.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Modest overall rating — With 233 reviews and a 6.9 overall score, this is a solid but not outstanding property compared with the Melbourne average of 8.0. Rooms and value both sit at 6.9, so expectations for polish should be tempered.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is limited to 14:00–20:00, which may be inconvenient if you're arriving late or your flight is delayed. Check-out is a fixed 10:00.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Pay parking and possible noise — Parking is available but paid, and the hotel is on a main road (City Road) near the casino and Southbank nightlife, so street noise may be an issue in some rooms.
