The hotel boasts a superb location, just a few hundred meters from Southern Cross Station and its adjacent airport bus terminal. It's also an easy 1.3 km walk to the cathedral and the vibrant graffiti street behind it, offering excellent access to public transport and attractions.

Excellent location on Spencer Street ,just opposites the Southern Cross Station,so easy to get around by foot or public transport.eg: Flinders street Station,Swanston Street for all kinds of foods ,China Town ... Staffs there are all nice and friendly . Best point for my this trip is onsite car parking .It is great for people driving in!

Great Southern is a good transit and access to central city of Melbourne. The main railway station and two large supermarkets are only 1-3 mins walk. Central city, parks and ups ale shopping also only a few minutes or free central city trams are a highlight. The hotel is a good choice for students, domestic travellers and international tour groups.

I would thoroughly recommend the family room for families at this hotel . Spacious rooms with large beds and a generous bathroom . <5minute walk from train station. Food is available downstairs. We had the breakfast in the morning. Was so convenient in many ways . Check in/out was also easy . Great value for money .

For a quick business trip, the location was incredibly convenient. It's just a 30-minute direct Skybus ride to the airport, and accessing Sydney itself was also very easy.

A little complaint about your blanket,I want to say a little about the blanket in the hotel should be changed to a thicker one, I feel uncomfortable when wearing the blanket, it makes my body feel itchy and there is a little dust on the blanket, and I have to open the blanket, for me everything else is very okay except the blanket, thank you, I hope you can fix it and change the type of your blanket, I will come here again💙

The location is great, but there are a few areas that need improvement: the curtains have mould, the blankets provided are loose wool covers that feel unclean, and the air conditioning was not working on the last night.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location and appreciate you pointing out areas for improvement. We’re addressing the issues with the curtains, blankets, and air conditioning to ensure a better experience moving forward.

Extremely convenient location, just a 5-minute walk from the SkyBus stop. It's also close to DFO shopping center, with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. However, the facilities are a bit dated.
