For our purposes, as we are regularly accessing Sydney from the country, The Great Southern Hotel is extremely convenient. It is an older hotel but has well-considered facilities, a comfortable mattress, and a clean modern bathroom all at a very acceptable price for an inner CBD accommodation. The position is EXCELLENT with access to buses, regional and suburban rail, and light rail, all within a hundred metres or so, and the International and Domestic airports on a direct line from Central Station which is about two hundred metres away from the hotel. The restaurant has a variety of breakfasts at very acceptable prices and there is easy access to many very good value restaurants of high quality. We will definitely come again.

We love the Great Southern!
We love the proximity to the station as I have limited mobility. The price isn't half bad either! I always recommend it to people who are in Sydney to join a cruise ship.

This is not a 4 star hotel. The room was not clean and had an odor. It took 5 days to get a partial refund despite being offered a refund the same day. Will not use Great Southern Hotel Sydney or lastminute again.
