The lively area outside the hotel was a vibrant hub of activity. I felt like I was in the bustling heart of a city, where every moment was filled with excitement and possibilities. It was like a non-stop show, providing the perfect prelude to the entertainment that awaited me at the nearby venues.
Noisy fridge.

I stayed in room 203 for an overnight stay after my trip from Bangkok via Singapore. The room was comfortable and had a safe, adding to my relaxation. The location of Great Southern Hotel was perfect, with easy access from the airport. It was just a 5-minute walk to Central Station, the Light Rail, and Paddy's Market. The hotel's pub served great food at affordable prices, and I highly recommend trying their Bangers and Mash. a fantastic experience and I'll definitely stay here again when next in town.
Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

We had a great stay in this hotel as we enjoyed its best aspects, including the clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location near Chinatown and Central station. This made it very easy for us to explore the city's main attractions, as we were just a short walk away from the light rail station at Chinatown, which took us to the Fish Market Museum and other places.
Nothing that we didn't like about this hotel as everything was perfect.

The hotel's decoration exudes a timeless elegance, with beautiful old world charm and comfortable, classic furnishings in the lobby and common areas. As a senior woman, I truly appreciated the ease of accessibility throughout the hotel, making it convenient for me to move around and enjoy the facilities without any hindrances. The staff, who I fondly referred to as the children of the staff, were exceptionally helpful and attentive to the needs of senior guests like myself, ensuring a comforting and welcoming stay.
I would ask for a better vacation for senior people by requesting for quieter cleaning times to ensure uninterrupted rest, especially in the early morning hours.

Our stay at the hotel was made even better by its close proximity to Central Station and Capitol Theatre, making it extremely convenient to travel around Sydney. We were able to easily explore iconic attractions like Circular Quay, the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and The Rocks. It's a great base for families to start discovering this beautiful city.
My wife says that a family-friendly activity area or playroom within the hotel would have been a great addition for families with children.

We had a fantastic stay at a hotel in a great location. The staff were incredibly helpful, the room was safe and comfortable, and there was even a nice pub downstairs. The toiletries provided were of good quality, and we appreciated having a fridge in the room. What we really liked was being able to smoke on the balconies just outside our room. The location was perfect, right on the doorstep of a central station and the light rail. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the bathroom was nice. a highly recommended hotel.
There was nothing we didn't like.

We stayed here during a busy time and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room. Its location in the central business district made it close to many tourist areas and it was so close to the central train station which made it very easy to get around. The staff here were amazing, they had a lovely approach and were very efficient and friendly whilst providing excellent customer service.

Perfect location, close to public transportation and city attractions. The hotel had a great character, with historic building and antique displays adding to the charm. The restaurant served scrumptious meals at great value.
The room could have been cleaner, especially the bathroom floor. The TV was small and far away, making it hard to watch from bed.

Loved the traditional feel of the hotel. My room was impeccably clean and had great amenities. Double glazed windows made for a quiet stay, despite the bustling location. I'll definitely return.

Impressed by the helpful staff who assisted in finding a car service. Great Southern Hotel suits my needs perfectly with Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, bar, and laundry. The non-smoking rooms, flat-screen TV, and lift makes every weekend stay a delight.

We weren't initially impressed, but the staff at Great Southern Hotel were fantastic! The location couldn't be beat, just a short walk from Central Station and right in the heart of the Thai and Chinese district. Public transport options were right outside the hotel, making it easy to explore the city. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, and the room itself was comfortable. We also enjoyed the excellent food and reasonable prices at the pub off the lobby. a great experience.

The location of the hotel was perfect for me to indulge in pre-show meals, have a drink before heading home, and enjoy fantastic live entertainment.
Oh, and how can I forget the tiny, cramped room with a lovely view of the noisy exhaust? Absolutely delightful.

We stayed near a bustling transportation hub, making getting around incredibly easy. Paddy's Market and the Capitol Theatre were just steps away. The room was spacious and clean with a large, comfortable bed, perfect for a restless partner. The staff was friendly and accommodating, providing additional towels and pillows upon request.
We were startled by a frightening encounter with an unwelcome guest during our stay.

I chose the Great Southern Hotel solely for its close proximity to the iconic Sydney Opera House, a place I've always dreamt of visiting. The hotel's convenient location pleasantly surprised me, offering easy access to the vibrant heart of the city and the most lively area in Colombo, with shops and restaurants open till late hours of the day.
We did not expect more at this price and location.

I chose Great Southern Hotel Sydney for its location, wanting to explore the vibrant heart of the city. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's delicious bistro menu at The Great Southern Bar, offering premium pub classics and weekly specials. The lively area in Colombo with shops, restaurants, and late opening hours was a bonus.
Construction noise at 6:45 am.

My friends and I had a blast staying super close to Circular Quay and the Opera House. We got awesome pics with the Sydney Harbour Bridge and explored The Rocks, finding cool shops and cafes. The hotel’s location near Central Station made it a breeze to hop on a train to Marvel Stadium for a fun night out. The staff was chill and the rooms were comfy, great for crashing out after a big day.
It would’ve been rad if the hotel had a rooftop hangout spot, like a chill bar or lounge for us teens to unwind and have a good time at night.
