The room was just right for 1 person. I enjoyed the extra towels in the room and a jug for hot cuppa seeing it’s a non room service room. The location was very good because when I booked the hotel, I didn’t know much of Melbourne because it was my first time there. But the location of the hotel was closer not only to the bus depo but to all amenities etc. I walked to the Sea Life and Sky Deck. The price of the hotel was okay too.

Each elevator will be out of action for approx. 12 weeks each – this project will commence on 01.10.23 and be completed by 01.04.2024. Floors 1-5 will be accessible via Elevator 1 while level 6 will be accessible via 23 stairs from level 5. The management apologizes for the extended waiting times for elevator going up and down floors due to increased usage of the existing elevator during the upgrade works.* With this major project, you should anticipate: • Varied noise levels between the hours of 7:00 am and 6.00 pm daily. Some noise levels may be loud or repetitive at times. • Work crews do not work on Sundays unless they experience weather delays. • There may be limited access to the buildings and courtyard at various times. Please be respectful of “Construction Zones.” The owners and management of the Great Southern Hotel Melbourne appreciate your cooperation as we upgrade the property for your future enjoyment.
This is our guests' favorite part of Melbourne, according to independent reviews.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.
