Axel's take: 8.1/10
A strong-value Northbridge base, provided you choose your room carefully. A straightforward, value-focused hotel in Northbridge, scored for what it is.
Great Southern is a straightforward, value-focused hotel in Northbridge, not North Perth. It's a strong pick for travelers wanting restaurants nearby and a walkable base for central Perth rather than four-star polish. Expedia and recent Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful staff and clean, comfortable rooms; several 2026 reviews describe updated interiors. Booking.com's overall rating is strong, although Tripadvisor's longer-term record is noticeably weaker.
Choose carefully: some rooms have no windows, and some bookings exclude housekeeping. Noise between rooms is a recurring complaint, while paid parking is limited and the basement entrance is tight. The official website still lists an upgrade schedule ending July 2026; confirm whether any work remains. We'd skip it if sound insulation, guaranteed daylight or full-service comforts are priorities.
