I recently stayed in both the Cullen and Olsen hotels in Melbourne and although owned by the same group the Cullen was far superior. The staff were much friendlier, the rooms much cleaner and the location just that little more central. Both hotels have very small gyms which is the only negative about the Cullen. More

As it was voted one of the trendiest hotels in Australia by Tripadvisor my expectations were quite high before we got there. Pros: - Check in was good. Location is great near train station, tranms, cafe and shops. Very comfortable beds. Loved the shower. Cons:- The frosted glass of the bathroom did not provide any privacy for a group of... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here between Christmas and New Years, and it was surprisingly quiet. The hotel is very slick, but also very comfortable (especially the bed). The kitchenette in the room is a bonus - although watch out - if your window is open you mind find pigeons trying to join you for breakfast! I closed it just... More

Beautifully decorated, brand new furniture and nice room layout, bed to DIE for, very quiet rooms (at least the one we stayed in overlooking the back street) - nothing to reproach really; oh yes, one thing: the credit card surcharge for such a big bill seems quite inappropriate...i can buy a 15$ tram ticket with my credit card at the...

We had the pleasure of staying at The Cullen for 5 nights, and found it to be the perfect hotel for an inner city stay. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about places to eat and visit, hence we ate out at some excellent restaurants, and drank at some amazing bars! The market across the road is well worth... More

This is a very trendy hotel. The decor in the room is perfect. Great price and the best sleep I have ever had. The bed was amazing and the most outstanding pillows ever. No other hotel could compete with this perfection for the price. More

We stayed here for one night for a wedding in Melbourne and it was fantastic. The room is very spacious, decor is very modern, bed is very comfy. Very clean, cool bathroom with tinted walls, loved how there was a kitchenette though we didn't need to use it. The big mirrors were a plus. Really odd paintings but that's the... More

My two friends and I really enjoyed our 4-night stay at The Cullen over Christmas 2011. It is very well located and the service was outstanding. The front-desk staff went out of their way to help us and even went the extra mile to make our visit to Melbourne perfect. One morning, I happened to mention that it was my... More

Small but adequate room, friendly staff. Best thing is the location. Room service could be improved though. More
