Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

6/10 Okay
"Great location. Got the room at an incredibly cheap rate. The room had an odd smell and felt grubby and low socio economic. However, the room was sark, quiet and I slept amazingly. Based on the cheap price this was a good stay."
