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.

Bed was comfortable but the decor was old and dated. The ensuite bathroom had been refurbished but there is only a small shelf to place toiletries and no hand towel was provided.

We've been staying at GSH for over 20 years. Its got so much going for it in terms of location, friendly, welcoming staff and always clean and tidy rooms. However, the actual beds, that this time I paid $200 for on a Wednesday night, don't seem to have been updated since we first stayed in the early 2000s. It was the most uncomfortable, painful sleep that I've experienced in some time. For goodness sake, update your mattresses or charge what they are worth! Adding a chiro bill to the accomodation cost is not a desired outcome.
