The Great Southern Hotel is situated in a great location for visitors. Opposite Southern Cross Railway Station, depot for Skybus from airport & within very easy walking distance to CBD. If you don't wish to walk trams are nearby. We found the staff very friendly & helpful (needed a Doctor Saturday morning & had a 9AM appointment thanks to the... More

As previous people have mentioned GREAT location and the staff are friendly BUT wow I have never stayed in such a horrible room. The carpet was so dirty I didn't even want to walk on it with my socks on. The furniture is like it is from the side of a road when someone is dumping it and las but... More

I'll try not to complain too much about the one thing that upset me, but it will be difficult. Here goes. Firstly, this place is in a terrific location. Right opposite Southern Cross train station and Etihad Stadium. The price was phenomenal. $65 for a room with a double bed, bathroom, TV, fridge, tea and coffee making etc. Absolutely wonderful...

If your on a budget and planing that weekend in Melbourne to see the Mighty Bombers or a gig at Ethihad Stadiam, The Great Southern is the place to go. Basic rooms, double or two single beds, tv,cuboard, coffee jug,shower, bar fridge. The rooms have a 70's look, feel and smell, but at 100$ on a Sat Night and so... More

Good location, clean linen and comfortable bed. Ample room space. Carpet at corners need proper vacuuming. Many of the courtyard rooms are without windows. Luggage storage is AUD2 per bag per day or part thereof. It wasn't cold so forgot to ask where they hide the heater. Overall: satisfied.

A once grand hotel - on the way down. Its very central & only 5 mins from Skybus terminal. I stayed in rooms 120 & 309, & have similar comments for both. Superficialy clean, but with dirt, rust & mould evident with little effort! Badly stained bed cover in room 120 - something to make most women recoil! Poor quality... More

Budget conscious couple? but don't like staying at backpackers? This is for you! There is nothing pretentious at this hotel. It doesn't have room service, or a restaurant (apart from breakfast). There is no mini bar. But it does have - convenient location, air-con, en-suite with bath, tea and coffee making in room with fridge, toiletries, iron and hairdryer, big... More

The Great Southern Hotel is a brilliant place to be in Melbourne, opposite the Great Southern Railway station where the trains stop and the Skybus (shuttle bus) from the airport drops you off; accessible to all parts of the city on foot, helpful and friendly staff at Reception and skilful management by Goran Novakovic. Breakfast is available and can be... More

Booked this hotel at late notice for business as it was close to everything and everywhere i needed to go.I pretty much got everything i expected from a budget hotel and as i only book a hotel room to sleep in and relax it served the purpose.The one thing that will put me off ever using this hotel again is...
