Great Southern Hotel Sydney

I love the Art Deco theme. The location is perfect for a traveller using public transport. It is an easy 2 block walk away from Central Railway Station, and is a 1 block walk away from the Sydney Light Rail system The staff, as always, were friendly and accommodating. As an old Age Pensioner, I also appreciate the cost … not overpriced

We traveled from Ohio. We were in Australia for 30 days. Quickly we figured out the transit system and made our way around like a couple of locals. We could not believe how cheaply we traveled around. We could catch the tram to everywhere. The tram was right outside the GSH. PERFECT location. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed by this hotel. It was a perfect temperature, a perfect bed and the bathroom was perfect, too. It was very safe and quiet. We enjoyed the room, the restaurant, the perfect location and more. Bonus with a safe in the room. We were surprised the hotel allowed smoking. We could barely smell it when we walked down the hallway on the second floor. Barely! Kareena and Sujan helped us print items we needed for our cruise. We were very grateful.

Excellent location – very close to all the forms of public transport and to a wide variety of dining options (especially in China Town and Thai Town). We didn't find that part of the CBD to be particularly charming, but it was very easy to get from there to places that are. The room was clean, pleasant and comfortable. We loved the architecture of the building and the vintage fixtures, especially the wood panelling and the vintage radio and telephone in the reception area.

The Great Southern Hotel : A charming hotel which blends the new with the old .. A nostalgia, retro appearance both from the exterior of the property to the interior of the property .. Loved looking at all the photos on display from the past century of events held at The Great Southern .. If you want a taste of Sydney from a by-gone era then this hotel is for you .. Fascinating and Wonderful .. Loved every minute of my stay here .. All the staff are lovely and approachable too .. I cannot praise this hotel high enough .. It’s a win, win, win .. Plus Factors : Local transport literally outside the building .. Ease of access to and from the harbour front (via tram) and also to the airport (via tram / train) ..

Had a lovely quiet room. But I couldn’t find the switch for the bathroom fan, sorry. Loved all the retro furnishings at the reception area, and the two styles of brekky zones, I didn’t have to elbow any sausage folk. And the cash register there WORKS! Cha-Ching!
