Have been staying hear in business trips for over 5 years- always great value for the price considering it is in the heart of very expensive Sydney. The reception staff are always fantastic, and many times I’ve been offered discounts. Will always come back because of these reasons.

Curtain torn. Noise from surrounding buildings. Small dated Queen bed room. No hand towel. 1 small tube of shampoo, 2 soap tablets and a shower cap. 6 thimble size UHT milk. $10 per day extra for housekeeping. The only plus is that it’s within walking distance of Central Railway Station and the light rail (tram).

We always stay at The Great Southern when we go to Sydney. It’s an old hotel in a great location. It’s quiet and comfortable and when we fly in early they are mostly able to check us in to our room. Hastle free and our holiday begins. So easy. And they do a great breakfast. Don’t go anywhere else.
