Clean, comfortable and convennient. Loved Prahran market and market lane coffee across the road is a gem. Can't get any easier than the tram to town just down road. This whole hotel is stylish and funky and well worth a visit. More

Great hotel in a fantastic location; really easy to get into the centre of Melbourne by tram and thus located in an area a little less corporate than many of the hotels. Brilliant food market opposite the hotel and some nice restaurants and bars nearby (cool not swanky). But, do look up the artist Cullen's work before you go -... More

We are Happy to read that you got to check out the Prahran Markets - they are amazing and the Cullen crew visit them regularly. Adams art work is very quirky and there are some great stories behind the meanings of them, next time you stay we would love to chat to you about them! Agree they are worth a... More

Daughter, granddaughter and myself enjoying a very nice stay in a very nice trendy hotel, good service, very nice surroundings, but the Terrace Restaurant, which is linked to this hotel (they do the roomservice for this hotel as well) is terrible, which is noticable as there are very few people to be seen there. We had one meal, which was... More

Rather than stay in the centre of Melbourne for our mother/daughter weekend, we opted to stay in Prahran, close to the wonderful shops in High Street Armadale, Chapel Street and Toorak. And we couldn't have chosen a better hotel. It features the art of Adam Cullen and contemporary decor. We had a quiet room at the back of the hotel... More

I would say that this is one of the best hotels that I have stayed in! We arrived on the Friday evening to be told that the next evening they were having a roof top party and that guests were invited. After a great day shopping locally on Chapel Street we went back to the hotel and went upstairs for... More

We stayed for a month! So got to know the hotel very well. Impressive 'roomy' rooms. Trendy. Very good staff, all friendly and helpful. Good location opposite the Prahran Market, lots of Supermarkets and lots of shops within easy walking distance. We had a first floor back room which was reasonably quiet. Very good and always popular Chinese restaurant downstairs.... More

The Cullen has to be the coolest, most awesome hotel my partner & I have ever stayed in. Amazing atmosphere which helped along by friendly, helpful staff and of course the amazing artwork by Mr Cullen himself.

Great to hear that you were happy with The Cullen, The Junior Penthouses are a great room especially when you can enjoy the balcony in this Melbourne Weather. Awesome you had a Happy Birthday and we could help make it that little more special - hope to see you here next birthday again. Cheers, Alicia and the Cullen Crew More

In a world of ordinary hotels, this place is a gem. Have stayed here at least 5 times and keep coming back. Outstanding location on Commercial Road in Prahran - very close to the shopping of Chapel Street, and a few nite clubs of Commercial Road. Good eating in this area also. In any event, the hotel is always immaculate,... More

A number of reviews have covered the main points. The location is ideal for the holiday maker apart from the noise generated by a couple of local night clubs. Overall I rate this establishment more highly than The Blackman for atmosphere and location. The design of the lobby with its glass atrium lends to this. The staff are all excellent.... More

Thankyou for your feedback, we will certainly get onto the negative notes to ensure that your next stay with us is up to scratch. With the hotel not being more than 2 1/2 years old it is interesting to note that your bed has not held up? Let us know next time you are staying and we can arrange a... More
