Top location, close to Central Station & the light rail. Rooms are small but very clean & comfortable - fridge, a/c. The meals offered in the on-site hotel & yummy & great value for money. This wasn’t our first stay at the Great Southern & won’t be our last.

Great location because of its proximity to Central station. i had a heavy luggage and bags but was able to carry on walking. it was a workout! the room has the basics I need. one little complaint tho was the noise coming from nearby establishments or probably The air conditioning im not sure what it was. the noise stopped at late at night tho. i wasn’t in the room the whole day so it didn’t bother me that much. The breakfast was good. the main dishes are assisted buffet (eggs, sausages, ham, hashbrown) but you can always ask for more if you want. there were fruits, cereals, breads and jams. i was allowed to check in earlier than 2pm because the room was already ready. I would stay again when needed. Thanks!
