The Great Southern is a grand old lady of buildings. So much old world charm! Been staying for years until they decided to get rid of the family rooms. While the room was clean, great shower, easily accessible from central train station, the bed was terrible! Its the most important thing for me. Way past its use by date, could feel the springs, indents where bodies have lain, overall just very uncomfortable. Told the guy as i checked out, did not seem to care.

It would be nicer if the rooms where updated, not so dull and dated. Doesn't have to be modern, just updated with new fresh beds and more vibrant and fresh looking.

Convenient to Central Station

Stayed here for a couple of nights and will be returning as quite happy with the set up for a city hotel and the prices. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was a decent size, bed comfortable and shower good. Plenty of choices at breakfast and gluten free options but could do with a better GF selection on the evening menu (maybe a pasta dish?)

Vibrant.

We always love staying at The Great Southern Hotel because it is in such a convenient position and it is always clean and comfortable.It is in Chinatown and is a fairly short walk to Darling Harbour. We thoroughly enjoyed the Teen and Kids Lion Dancers yesterday, bringing good luck to the businesses in Dixon Street for the Lunar New Year.

Great handy spot close to Central train station and Coach hub for Murray’s and Grey Hound. Good pricing for ensuite room. Breakfast was $17 which was good value. Handy to Paddys markets and Curcular Quay is a short light rail ride or you could even walk. Close to China Town and Darling Harbour. All good.
