Great Southern Hotel has been an overall good experience for me... It has its pros and cons. Pros: The staff are amazing. They are friendly, helpful, caring, informative, responsive and the positive list goes on. The staff would be the main reason why I would revisit this hotel. The rooms are a good size for a pretty affordable fee. For people like me who need to work in a hotel room- these rooms are the best size I've seen at an affordable hotel in Sydney CBD thus far Cons: The breakfast can be much better even for a lower-cost hotel. For me (gluten, dairy-free with a hate for soft yolk eggs) there was practically nothing substantial to consume, so my breakfast vouchers went to waste. Suggestion to exclude dairy from scrambled eggs, have hard boiled eggs available, and include fresh fruit and green salad. If gluten and dairy free bread can be available as well- it would be perfect! Though rooms are larger the walls are still thin. It's minor for me as I wear headphones, but for persons who may not be able to sleep because you hear snoring or convos from people in the next room - it may be a bit more concerning. Greater attention can be placed on the quality of the items in the room - for example replacing toilet brush holders that are rusty, providing shower gel and shampoo in the pump containers, fixing shower doors that do not close properly. Generally a huge thank you to the staff who made my stay as comfortable as possible.

Happy with our stay
The building was a bit wear, but this has already reflected on the price. This hotel has the best location - short walk to the Central station, the light rail station and buses just across the road which will take you anywhere in Sydney. A lot of good restaurants and shops nearby, very handy, convenience and safe area!

cheap and nasty
The beds were very poor and the room was probably the smallest room of any hotel where we've stayed. I felt very uncomfortable when checking in as your staff member appeared impatient with two weary travellers.
