Our flight is very late of night and this hotel only view minutes from southern cross station by walk. And our standard room is only suitable for transit or people who only want to sleep and the next day we move to apartment.

The room was clean and well presented, and the in-room amenities were reasonable and maintained to a good standard. The bed was comfortable and the overall condition of the room was satisfactory. Unfortunately, the lack of sound insulation significantly impacted my stay. Noise travelled very easily throughout the building. I could clearly hear conversations and activity in the corridor, sounds from adjacent rooms, and traffic noise from outside. The biggest issue, however, was the air conditioning unit. It was quite loud during operation, and each time it started a new cycle during the night, it woke me up. This happened multiple times, resulting in a disrupted night’s sleep. While the room itself was clean and functional, the noise levels made it difficult to rest comfortably. Improved soundproofing and quieter air conditioning would greatly enhance the guest experience.

There wasn’t a remote control for the aircon/heater and the room was very cold. I rang reception, they told me to use the remote control that I had told them I had already searched for, and wasn’t there. Eventually they came to the room with a generic remote and spent 15mins trying to make the heater work…at midnight.

The Great Southern in Melbourne is a very good "value" hotel --not flash, but very well located and comfortable -- for the money, extremely good. Some rooms do not have windows and that is not ideal, but again, for the money ... Location directly across from Southern Cross station with trams out the front as well is good as well.
