    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    Cleanliness could be better

    A fair number of reviews indicate that there are some shortcomings when it comes to cleanliness. It's not like you'll find the rooms are filthy but guests do note issues such as dirty shower screens and mould on the ceilings. Bathrooms attract more complaints than the actual rooms.

    negative:

    Numerous extra costs

    Guests mention that the reasonable room rates at the Great Southern Melbourne can be overshadowed by the extra costs. Most guests can swallow paying for breakfast and for parking even, but most consider it antiquated to have to pay extra for Wi-Fi. The hotel even charges extra to store luggage for as little as an hour.

    negative:

    Some noise concerns

    A number of reviews suggest that the soundproofing, both between rooms and from external noise sources such as the courtyard and traffic, is very poor. It seems that a pair of earplugs is a must here.
