This property is in a great location with easy access to the light rail, Central Station, Market City and Chinatown. It has great food at very reasonable prices, and is close to many other eateries. Clean rooms, helpful staff. We have stayed here several times and definitely will stay again.

Expedia assisted us in making a decision on where to stay during a visit to Sydney. Must day that The Great Southern Hotel was a gem of s find in Chinatown and proximate to nearly everything we did... Chinatown has numerous eateries, is one minute from Paddy's Market, one minute to light rail services and twin minutes from trains. Unbeknown to us, our tour of the Blue Mountains also left from a church just 200m up the road. Great hotel, friendly staff, all services and clearly popular.
