This is my fourth stay at the Cullinan over a period of 10 years and they’ve managed to maintain high standards throughout which is very impressive - in terms of food quality, cleanliness, friendly well trained staff and overall decor and state of the hotel. I can highly recommend the property

Jose

The property itself is very nice. The area is not safe to walk after 6 pm. Due to the fact that the area is not the greatest the hotel itself should have some type of entertainment at night. It seems that they cater to people that travel for conferences but not everyone stays there for conferences. We were traveling on vacation.
