Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The lights were falling out of their fittings, and the unit was not clean. The balcony was filthy and littered with cigarette butts. The doona insert was placed between two sheets instead of in a cover, and the pillows were so uncomfortable that I struggled to sleep and honestly the worst night’s rest I’ve ever had in a hotel. I regretted every minute of my stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Stayed at The Cullen Melbourne – Art Series and on my third night found cockroaches in my room one on the bed, another on the wall (I have videos). Staff acted like nothing happened, and even room service wasn’t aware. They moved me to Room 217, but with trains outside and no soundproofing, it was impossible to sleep. For a 5-star hotel, this is unacceptable. Offering only a one-night refund for such unhygienic, and poorly maintained conditions shows they do not meet true 5-star standards.

I couldn’t wait to write this review. We visited an old pal who is doing it tough. He ‘Bedder’ get well 😉. Our last thought was where we would stay. First and closest place was the Cullen Prahran. I had no idea what it was until we arrived. From the start I‘ll fess up I love art. The Cullen is saturated with it, Adam Cullen (RIP). We were given a studio room it was huge, comfortable and beautiful. A meal at Dad Vietnamese restaurant and a great nights sleep and a topped off just what we needed after a long day. I’ll find excuses to visit Melbourne again just for that reason and Prahran Market so close so easy.

Not very impressed with false advertising

Had issues at check in, had booked a multiple bed studio room. Arrived to room to only one bed. Paid for a room with multiple beds which was more expensive than a single bed room. If I wanted a single bed room I would’ve booked one. Hotel blamed this website Hotels.com. We had less then an hour to get ready for a hens night after all the back and forth between the hotel and the website went back and forth over getting another bed into the room as the hotel didn’t believe they could fit one. In the end was quite annoyed, I booked a multiple bed room I would’ve liked to have attended my room and everything be there and ready instead of the back and forth over asking for what I originally booked.
