For our purposes, as we are regularly accessing Sydney from the country, The Great Southern Hotel is extremely convenient. It is an older hotel but has well-considered facilities, a comfortable mattress, and a clean modern bathroom all at a very acceptable price for an inner CBD accommodation. The position is EXCELLENT with access to buses, regional and suburban rail, and light rail, all within a hundred metres or so, and the International and Domestic airports on a direct line from Central Station which is about two hundred metres away from the hotel. The restaurant has a variety of breakfasts at very acceptable prices and there is easy access to many very good value restaurants of high quality. We will definitely come again.

The only disappointing feature is the servicing of the room - no replacement of shampoo and only one supplied on day 1. Cups were not washed. Bed only pulled up .

Situated in a good location for transport, shopping, restaurants and places to visit. The hotel was clean, very nice staff. Rooms were small but very comfortable, my only complaint would be that the water pressure in the shower was terrible.

We stay there because it’s close to Central Train Station. It’s a five minute walk. It also has a restaurant and bar which means we don’t have to leave if we don’t want to.

Great location
It's very convenient, lots of eateries nearby and close to Central Railway Station. I always stay here if I need an early morning flight, as I take the train to the airport.

This is my go-to destination as it is very reasonable and so handy to both main train lines and the Sydney metro. You are always greeted with a smile at reception and, unlike some Sydney hotels, I have never been greeted with "rooms aren't available until 2 o'clock" even though I might only have arrived half an hour early. The rooms are basic but clean with the usual tea/coffee, fridge, safe and, of course, private bathroom with walk-in shower. Very much recommended.
