Stayed there for 4D/3N the hotel is located at one of the most happening areas. Everything is nearby, the check-in experience was smooth. Staff was very professional and friendly. Rooms were big and in pristine condition. The bathroom though needed a little bit more privacy by adding sliding curtains, etc. Overall a great experience will definitely recommend others as well.

From the warm welcome by the front of house staff to the incredible design of the rooms, the Cullen met and exceeded our expectations. We had a lovely spacious room, with every amenity we could have wished for. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we would easily recommend the Cullen to others.

Staff were incredible... we arrived after midnight and received a warm and friendly welcome by the overnight staff member. Nothing was too much trouble and the room upgrade that we were granted upon arrival was greatly appreciated. We have stayed at many Accor hotels throughout Melbourne and the service at 'The Cullen Hotel' was phenomenal. We look forward to returning in the future.

We stayed at the hotel for a wedding in the area, and ended up extending our booking. Staff were more than happy to accommodate changes to our booking including having a trundle bed for a child for a night and then removing it for our second night. The room was a decent size and big enough for what we needed (especially as we were really only sleeping there). Little kitchenette could be useful, although very limited utensils would have made this tricky. It was a shame that when we stayed there was no on site restaurant, so no room service (this was disappointing and didn't realise this when we booked). The in room safe wasn't functioning, nor was the chrome cast on the television (which meant all we were able to watch was free to air tv). Check in and Check out was easy, although we were not asked if there were any issues (otherwise I would have raised the concerns above). Would definitely stay again however.

Loved the room. Simple, elegant, comfortable and the art work really adds another layer to the experience. The staff were just wonderful! - incredibly helpful. The location is great - a tram ride away from Melbourne central if you need. Lots to see and close by. This I’ll be my go to from now when I’m in Melbourne.
