Great Southern Hotel Sydney

Just got back from a stay in the heart of Chinatown. LOVED the amazing room with ensuite and courtyard view! Breakfast from 6.30 was perfect. Definitely coming back! Photos don't do justice to the room size.

Great Southern Hotel Sydney was a delightful stay. The room rates were fantastic, and the staff were helpful with dining recommendations. The location near Central station was convenient. Room and bathroom were spacious and clean. Will definitely recommend and return. A few minor issues but overall wonderful experience.

the accommodation was comfortable, and the staff was helpful. the location was convenient, with easy access to public transport and nearby attractions. the breakfast provided was delicious and offered great value for money.

nothing to mention 🙃

The security of the building at Great Southern Hotel Sydney was fantastic. The lovely staff made my stay enjoyable, and the place was impeccably clean. The location was ideal, close to Chinatown and other amenities. While I didn't dine at the restaurant, I had a great time overall. The hotel's history added a nice touch to the experience.

My recent stay at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. the staff, especially at the reception, were friendly and efficient. They were accommodating when we needed to store our bags before check-in and after check-out - very convenient! the breakfast buffet was amazing with plenty of choices, definitely worth the price. the location was great, just a couple of minutes' walk from Central Station and close to Chinatown and Paddy's Market. the room was spacious, clean, and quiet, making it enjoyable to relax after a day of exploring the city.

One improvement that could be made is the soundproofing in the rooms. While it wasn't a significant issue for me, it could bother light sleepers.

The room was a steal - spacious and with a great working desk and chair for the price. So close to everything - theatres, China Town, and tram lines nearby. Comfortable rooms, clean with hot showers and fantastic water pressure. Loved the big comfy bed, and the staff at the front door were top-notch. 🌆 Meals were outstanding, and proximity to Central Rail station was a plus. The only downside was the awkward bathroom layout, but it didn't take away from the overall positive experience.

Positive Overall Experience: the location of the hotel was absolutely perfect, close to public transport and various landmarks in the city. the room was well-equipped, with a comfortable bed and excellent Wifi, making my stay enjoyable. the staff were friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall positive experience.

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.

Great Southern Hotel's prime advantage lies in its unbeatable location, offering easy access to public transport and key landmarks like Chinatown and Darling Harbour. the presence of amenities such as a safe in the room and a complimentary breakfast enhance the stay's convenience and value.

King size bed may feel cramped for two people.

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. 😊

Got pleasantly lost in the heart of the city CBD. Ate, drank, explored, repeated. Prime spot for a quick bite before a show or a cheeky drink for the train ride home. Those heritage vibes though, felt like I time-travelled back to 1854 - lace them with some beers at the Great Southern Bar. Central Station's hustle made me feel like a local. Stumbled upon great views - future’s looking bright down at the Queens Wharf. Cheers to unexpected adventures in my Aussie backyard! 🇦🇺

Great Southern Hotel offers a prime location near Darling Harbour, Paddy’s Market, and Chinatown. Close to Central Station, it boasts cleanliness and helpful staff. Early check-in and assistance with lost items showcase excellent service. the heritage ambiance adds charm to the experience.

Front rooms face noisy George Street. Cigarette smoke scent at night.

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.

The dining scene at Great Southern Hotel is pure 🔥—imagine a hot food selection fit for foodies! Plus, cozy comforts and stellar transportation options nearby.

Room was snug, no biggie for solo travel. When hubby tags along, might need a tad more space.

Conveniently located, this hotel offers clean, modern rooms with a vintage vibe. The staff is friendly and helpful. Its proximity to public transportation and a variety of dining options make it a great choice for travelers. a pleasant stay with good value for the price.

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.

the Great Southern Hotel was spotless and super close to everything - with easy transit access. had an awesome tram stop out front - so getting around was a breeze. also, loved the historic vibes and antique displays. their restaurant's dinner was delish and a great deal.

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.

Nothing, all was great! 😄

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.

Great location, friendly staff, good internet, clean and comfortable room, bar and restaurant on site.

Liked everything.

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.

Affordable price, secure and clean with convenient luggage storage and close to Central station. Modern rooms and great location, walking distance to major attractions.
