We always love to stay at The Great Southern as it is centrally located making it easy to get to everywhere we need to go. Our only small disappointment is that the showers have extremely low pressure which does not make for an enjoyable shower. Other than that all is good! Merry Christmas to all!

Great budget hotel, with a heritage background. Very close to Central railway station and also has Light Rail out front. Twin room was very clean, air con and TV worked. Had a nice continental breakfast for $9 in downstairs dining area. I will return for any future stays in Sydney.

Great Southern is a lovely hotel in the heart of Sydney! Many must see attractions are within walking distance and if needed the main light rail station is only a block away. Also theres a great flea market right across the street to buy souvenirs.
