Pankaj

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.

Spacious studio with everything you need. Convenient location although it can get quite noisy at night. Reasonably priced and I would definitely consider staying here again. My only comment is that their check-in/out times are quite inflexible due to being booked out on most days, so plan ahead.

Loved my stay here . Great location right near the prahan markets and a short walk to chapel street for shopping. I was there for work and it was a very quiet hotel. It was a great idea tô opt out of housekeeping in exchange for a bottle or wine. Only thing I didn’t love is the pillows they were all super soft and even all 4 stacked didn’t give me enough support - personal preference. Would love to come back and stay here again.
