Loved my stay here . Great location right near the prahan markets and a short walk to chapel street for shopping. I was there for work and it was a very quiet hotel. It was a great idea tô opt out of housekeeping in exchange for a bottle or wine. Only thing I didn’t love is the pillows they were all super soft and even all 4 stacked didn’t give me enough support - personal preference. Would love to come back and stay here again.

Spacious studio with everything you need. Convenient location although it can get quite noisy at night. Reasonably priced and I would definitely consider staying here again. My only comment is that their check-in/out times are quite inflexible due to being booked out on most days, so plan ahead.

Not what it used to be!

Its not what it used to be thats for sure! Now owned by a big chain is very obvious… A hotel with no restaurant = room service at all and a limited minibar should probably loose some stars. But I have mentioned this before but you dont seem to update your info much?! Still went since its a good location for a worktrip but will rethink next time due to a lot of restaurant closures in the area.

Great stay, pity about the sleep

Great stay as always, been here a number of times for business, nice, clean rooms and centrally located to plenty of places to eat. Hit and miss on the quality of the mattress, this time the mattress was old, hard and lumpy. Not what I was looking forward too as previous stays I had found that the mattress was soft and comfortable

A very comfortable bed, soft lighting options and quiet. The shower was wonderful and roomy and the room had everything I needed. Think black curtains to keep the sun out and easy to manage the temperature of the room. Overall a very peaceful stay and a deep sleep. Great location - across the road from Prahan Market and near Chapel st.

It was quite modern and artsy - we liked the art flavour, but one thing we did not like was the misted glass that was the only thing around the bathroom which made for very low privacy when in the bathroom for a shower or to use the toilet. We loved our balcony and enjoyed some drinks there in the evening and then we made our own breakfast and sat out there in the morning. The staff were very helpful to provide us with extra glassware and items that we needed for our drinks and breakfast. The bed was very comfortable but there was quite a bit of street noise during the night.

I liked the reward of a bottle of wine to have no housekeeping. Like going green. Place was lovely and clean and good facilities in the room. What I missed was room service- none at this time as no restaurant. One on the main reasons I booked!

Great location - BUT

My friend and I had a girls' weekend in Melbourne and decided to stay at The Cullen because of its location. It did not disappoint. Where it disappointed is in the quality of the bed and pillows. The bed was creaky and springy; and the feather pillows lacked any form of support. Basically, the basics of any hotel stay got missed in this beautifully decorated room. We did ask for firmer pillows on our second night but even the staff at the front desk was apologetic for the firmness of it. And the bed in Room 115 should probably just be donated to charity. I'd love to be able to highly recommend this hotel but it's difficult to when you can't get a good night's sleep.
