Our take
Great Southern Hotel Brisbane offers standard and superior air-conditioned rooms in the CBD, with a 24-hour reception and secure parking. Despite what some listings suggest, there is no golf resort feel here: it is a straightforward city hotel. I recommend it to golfers who want to walk to Brisbane's sights in the evening and drive to the course by day.
- Book your tee times well in advance, especially during peak season, to secure preferred slots at Brisbane's popular courses.
- Utilize the 24-hour reception for local recommendations on dining and transport to golf clubs around the city.
- Consider public transport or ride-sharing for getting to the courses, as secure parking is available but at an additional cost.

Why guests love itGreat Southern Hotel Brisbane is a city-centre hotel, not a golf resort, and that is how I would use it. It sits in the CBD with key sights a short walk away, and the 24-hour reception and secure parking help a group arriving late or driving to the course. Rooms are air-conditioned, with flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. The 7.6 score from over 3,100 reviews points to a decent, simple stay.
