The amount of dust everywhere!! Mattress on bed has had one too many ppl sleep on & I’m so glad I’d brung my own pillow! Don’t believe the picture of what the rooms look like especially when you think you’re getting a “superior “ room! I’ve stayed here a few times & it wasn’t as bad as this.

The Great Southern Hotel is in a perfect location, a 5-minute walk from Southern Cross (the main train and bus hub in Melbourne). It's also within the free team zone which makes for free and convenient transportation to most downtown locations. The hotel itself was great! Checkin and checkout were both easy, the room and facilities were very clean, and the staff was very hospitable and helpful.

I stayed at this hotel for one week and unfortunately my experience was disappointing. The ventilation system in my room was not working at all. It was extremely hot and we were almost suffocating. They brought me a portable water cooler, but it didn’t help and they were not even willing to change our room. Only on the very last day, after a lot of complaints, they gave us a very small and poor-quality room, which was completely different from the one I had paid for. This was not acceptable, and I definitely expected much better service.
