Petaw from Australia (9/10)
The location was perfect to attend the Aus GP. Within walking distance (about 20 minutes walk straight down commercial road). Also very close to Woolworths and Coles to grab groceries as needed. We had a studio room which was great for couples. Plenty of space to move around.
Elisabeth from Australia (9/10)
Everything except how expensive it was due to the increase because the grand Prix was on
Martin from Australia (7/10)
comfortable
safeDiane from Australia (7/10)
Location was where I needed to be, room okay, bed okay. I have stayed at the Cullen multiple times since it’s opened, but really needs a serious clean at the entry my room had a balcony which looked dreadful, rooms are clean and they have updated the couches. Also any chance that the restaurants could be filled not a great look.
Julie from Australia (9/10)
