This is the perfect place to be when flying in and taking a train to your destination. The staff is welcoming, the rooms efficient and clean, and it's in a walkable area to food & the tourist attractions. We have stayed here before and will again.

On the whole a great location, beautiful and clean and lovely cheap brekkie - rooms a little small for long legged teenager - and a little tricky to navigate the space - but it would be ideal for one person. IT was a perfect option for us and we did enjoy our stay thank you.

Wonderful - as usual

I often stay at the Great Southern. Rooms are small but have everything you need and location next to the light rail is fabulous. Staff are helpful and I will be back!

I was obviously paying for a city central hotel room on a Saturday night,($447) on the second floor, but given the quality of the room - a dog box really, even though it had basically every thing I needed for a quick over night stay. However, for the price and for the services and the amenities of the room I will in future stay in a hotel of reputation in future for a few more dollars - somewhere with overnight concierge for a more secure feeling and at least with decent water pressure. I think I was expecting more, given the hype about the heritage listing etc, and I was just disappointed with the experience generally.
