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.

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.

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.
