Perfect stay

I had a great stay at the Great Southern Hotel. The place is clean, comfortable, and offers everything you need for a pleasant visit. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. But what truly makes this hotel stand out is the location — it’s simply unbeatable. You’re right in the heart of the city, close to public transport, restaurants, shops, and major attractions. Whether you’re in town for business or leisure, this hotel is a solid choice.

Geoffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

Brilliant location which provided way walking for access to all visitor attractions. The food was very good and staff very helpful. The room was a little tired and could benefit from a refresh. Our last nights stay was disrupted badly from 3 rowdy guests in the next room, we had an early start for the airport with very little sleep. Overall it did not spoil our trip to Sydney

Step Back in Time! Truly Wonderful!

This is a really historic building and the room furniture all dated back to 1903, which I found amazing and really added to the ambiance to the place!

Heritage Hotel

It was good for the price we paid. Staff were friendly, room was old but clean. Mattress had a few springs that could be felt. All in all not bad and very convenient to Central station. I would stay there again.
