Art Series - The Cullen

Is it a crime for a hotel to try a bit TOO hard? The staff were friendly but a bit rigid, as if under stress to perform well. Otherwise a great place for biz or pleasure

Very nice room, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Nice ambience and the restaurant does a great steak.

Very well designed large rooms that are comfortable, clean and well maintained. The styling and decor works well with the Adam Curren art work.The staff was extremely helpful and the service was great. One of the best boutique hotels that I have visited. Easy access to downtown or the beach using the tram.

Great hotel with so much character and staff always willing to help and go the extra distance. Two terrific restaurants adjacent to the hotel and the location is perfect for a fix of shopping, coffee and dining around South Yarra. Tram stop just out the front makes it easy to get to and from the CBD. Rooms are a good size and kitted out well, and with the artwork theme through the whole hotel it's perfect for a special weekend away, we celebrated our first annniversary at the Cullen and will stay again next time we're in Melbourne.

Great location funky style hotel. I was on business and the room is not practical as only has a small round table for working from. This is more for a tourist. Very small bathroom/toilet with stupid glass walls, ok if you like to watch someone on the toilet whilst you are in bed. Housekeeping was bad as i stayed several days and always had to ask for tea bags etc to be replaced, even the toilet paper. This was quickly replaced by desk staff, but annoying that everyday i had to ask. Unless you like donkeys and more donkeys, the art work is crap.

Great location and friendly staff. Room was also good except the pillows were very uncomfortable, it would be good if they offered some different ones.

Great and helpful staff. Very neat and clean (and stylish) room. Kind of a smell of dirty laundry but might be because I was next to the guest laundry room. Very highly recommended, though. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

The Cullen hotel provides a slightly different experience from a normal hotel with the hotel having paintings by Cullen throughout the hotel and art installations within the shared spaces. A great hotel with a good vibe.

Very stylish and modern hotel was a welcome change from the bland chains. The room was large and the kitchenette facilities were handy - the Prahran markets are opposite and supermarkets a short walk away We watched the sunsets over the Bay while eating home cooked dinner. The yum cha dishes at the HuTong Restaurant below are excellent, if pricey (note they are ordered, not on trolleys). Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only negative was the expensive and limited parking in the basement.

We stayed at the Cullen over Christmas and they made us feel very much at home. Fantastic bed, really comfortable living area and nice kitchen.The location of the hotel is close to everything: Prahran Market, Chapel Street, public transport, pubs, nightlife, etc. [...] I don't think any other hotel can compete.
