    affordable stay

    It was just a good match for strolling around in Sydney with fantastic value for money. The small parking area was a bit tricky, but we managed to find a spot. Make sure to check the parking arrangements ahead of time.

    shower adjustments
    limited accessibility

    The charming vintage aesthetics of the hotel made me feel welcomed, and navigating the common areas was easy for me. The staff were attentive, assisting with my bags and providing helpful recommendations for local dining options.

    Shower adjustments could be clearer for seniors.

    convenient location
    good breakfast
    clean room
    uncomfortable mattress
    old springs

    I had a quick overnight stop here and appreciated the convenient location near Central Station and the light rail. The breakfast for $15 was surprisingly good, offering great value. The room was clean and cozy, though the mattress could use an upgrade as I felt the springs at times. Overall, the staff was helpful, making my brief stay enjoyable.

    convenient location
    well-appointed room
    limited breakfast options
    facilities need refresh
    housekeeping details lacked attention

    Excellent location just five minutes from key attractions. The room was well-appointed with a fridge, microwave, and fast wifi, making our stay comfortable. However, the breakfast options felt limited, and some facilities could use a refresh. The staff was friendly, but a bit more attention to detail in housekeeping would enhance the experience.

    Perfect for Easy Access to Sydney's Highlights

    I loved the fantastic location that made exploring Sydney a breeze, being just a short walk from Central Station and local attractions. The staff were engaging and made me feel at home, while my cozy room provided a comfortable space to unwind after a day of adventures. It would be great if noise levels could be managed better, as I occasionally heard conversations from the hallway.

    helpful staff
    affordable price
    strong water pressure
    dated room
    uncomfortable mattress
    poor cleaning

    Great Southern Hotel offered a convenient stay near Central Station. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my trip. The room was clean, although it felt a bit dated and could use some renovations. The heating and cooling worked well, which was a big plus. I appreciated the strong water pressure in the shower. Breakfast options were good, with a nice variety of food available for a reasonable price. However, I found the mattress a bit uncomfortable, a little on the hard side for my liking. I also experienced some noise from the air conditioning that made it hard to sleep. Cleaning in the bathroom could improve as I noticed some corners had not been properly cleaned. Despite these issues, the location and friendly service made my stay enjoyable overall.

    great location
    limited family amenities

    We had a lovely stay with our large family and our dog. The hotel is just a short walk from Central Station, making it easy to explore Circular Quay and the Opera House. The staff were friendly, and the meals offered were better than what we expected.

    My kids wished there were more kid-friendly amenities available in the common areas.

    Had an amazing time with friends! The location is perfect for exploring. We visited Circular Quay and the Opera House, which was just around the corner. The staff were friendly, and the room was comfortable. You won’t mind spending a bit more for good vibes and convenience.

    Had a small issue with thin walls. I could hear other guests in the hall, which made it a bit noisy at times.
