We love the Great Southern!
We love the proximity to the station as I have limited mobility. The price isn't half bad either! I always recommend it to people who are in Sydney to join a cruise ship.

This is not a 4 star hotel. The room was not clean and had an odor. It took 5 days to get a partial refund despite being offered a refund the same day. Will not use Great Southern Hotel Sydney or lastminute again.

Single beds are a disaster, too firm and impossible to get a good nights sleep. Ruined an otherwise great trip.
