Great spot to crash after a concert, however it is very basic. Definitely a few issues with the room such as the bathroom ventilation, old pipes and lack of power of mini fridge, however for one night it is fine. Probably wouldn’t be great for more than a one night stay.

Disliked: The bathroom was not well ventilated, and they don’t provide a foot mat in the bathroom (so it gets very wet). The mini fridge is also very weak in power.

Excellent location to the rail...

Liked: The Great Southern was in a great location for the country trains on which I was to catch the next day very early morning. The bed was comfortable, the ensuite exceptionally clean. Very pleased with the hotel.

Enjoyable five night stay in...

Liked: Location, value, restaurant. Also liked the fact that we could change towels, empty bins etc but didn’t have to have unnecessary daily room cleaning.
Disliked: Room showing its age (especially bathroom), but this wasn’t a big issue for us.
