Sydney holiday.
The crane in the bathroom was loose. The bed was to soft. The breakfast was very good and it was cheap. The people in the reception was very kindly and helpful. The room was not so expensive, so in total it was a good place to stay.

When we stay in Sydney, we always choose The Great Southern Hotel. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. The staff friendly and helpful. The light rail is close by and it is easy to get around. Also a nice breakfast for a reasonable price.

Loved it! Would stay again. Super easy access to all transportation. We had a great 9 night stay. We didn't pay for breakfast and were happy we didn't. Lots of great places near by and better value for money. If you want breakfast at the hotel you can pay daily for the same price.

Great location, 20 minutes or so walk to circular quay and 15 minute walk to Darling harbour. Central station and tram stop across the road. Rooms are a little basic but clean and staff were excellent. Will definitely stay again when next in Sydney
