"Room was great, bathroom was enormous and all the factualities worked well. Room was super clean - rare to stay in a top quality place and feel that it truly justified the money. "

"Fabulous hotel. Wonderful central location, basically on Yarra River; terrific breakfast (actually, wowie); big fitness center …and a spa and pool; large room. "

"Very comfortable bed "

"the room was very presentable, staff was friendly and efficient. Breakfast was nice, i would have liked the more egg options, maybe poached and the bacon hotter. "

"Attentive check-in staff, coffee option in bar, room spacious and quiet"

"Great value The staff were friendly, the rooms spotless, and the bed suited me perfectly! So easy to get around Melbourne from this location too!"

"Very clean rooms, comfortable beds and lovely breakfast "

"Staff were professional and courteous, offered an early check in as an unexpected bonus when we asked to store some luggage while we went to lunch. Our room was spotlessly clean and the shower pressure was great. A convection microwave made having snacks in the room a breeze. One of the castors on a bed did become dislodged but the maintenance team had it replaced in under half an hour with no hassles. Will definitely be looking at the Great Southern again for a stay in the CBD, it's very handy to the station as well as all the main tram lines. "

"Fantastic location, slept well. Room comfortable and clean. Staff efficient in our minimal interractions. Rooms outdated in presentation (renovations planned March 2026) but everything was very clean, comfortable and worked. "
