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.

Nice hotel, a bit far from downtown
A very nice hotel with friendly staff. The room was good size and appointed well. The restaurant onsite is closed but we found good choices nearby (highly recommend Angus & Bon). The location seems a bit far from downtown, but you can catch the train nearby and it's a quick and inexpensive ride back and forth.
We liked the hotel, but if we returned we would probably stay closer to downtown.

A really comfortable and nicely designed room. The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of the Prahran Market and Greville Street, as well as a stroll down to Toorak Road. Definitely will stay here again.

Loved the quirky art filled spaces, the room was a very good size, with a small sofa so somewhere to sit other than bed or desk chair.
With the amazing Prahran markets over the road, as well a selection of restaurants and the wonderful Oltre cafe with wonderful coffee and ambience.
Will be back.

First time staying in a property outside of Melbourne CBD, good location opposite Prahan market. Large room with kitchenette, unfortunately we were in a balcony room on the first floor which was still a little noisy.
Comfortable bed.

The sheets didn't fit the bed and the pillows were so bad it affected my sleep. No room service due to restaurant being renovated but only informed when we arrived.
Otherwise the amenities were nice and the style and layout of the room was great. Reception and staff great and helpful. Great location with transportation, shops and food venues.

9 September 2024
This was a very disappointing hotel. It is definitely not cheap but wanted to treat my daughter and I to something a bit different. I also chose this hotel as there was a restaurant, bar and breakfast all within the property which is very important to me as I have a mobility issue so can’t walk far. On arrival we were told the restaurant was closed for renovations, so no dinner, no drinks and no breakfast. There was nothing online letting you know this or I would obviously have booked elsewhere. We ended up having to get Uber eats.
Our stay was for three nights but left after one, I was refunded two nights but think I should have been refunded for all three as I then had to find somewhere else to stay, pack up and move. I hate complaining but this was very disappointing.
