A nice stay at The Cullen. The staff were very helpful and polite. The rooms could do with a little update and a deep clean. There was a pile of (what looked like) plaster dust in the bathroom. Great location amongst the bustle of South Yarra. Would visit again.

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.
