Downtowner on Lygon is quite comfortable, in a motel kind of way, with a spacious bathroom and enough room for two comfortably in the room itself. Close to restaurant strip, on the right side of town for airport connections and convenient to the city, happy to recommend for a night or two when visiting Melbourne.

A friend and I stayed here last weekend for 2 nights in a twin room. We were very happy with the room - great shower, comfortable beds, plenty of space, free parking .... but the best part is how close this hotel is to everything in central Melbourne. You are at the City end of Lygon St (so you certainly... More

Whenever I visit Melbourne I stay at the Downtowner. It's easy to get to from the north and parking is never an issue. I find the location to be ideal as I usually have a few food cravings to satisfy at the local restaurants in Lygon Street. I stayed in a King Room last night and it was spotless. Bed... More

Great staff , nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are nice, big beds. We ate at the restaurant last night and Kayleen was an amazing hostess. She added so much to our evening.

I found the Downtowner a really nice Motel our room was clean fresh and the bed huge and extremely comfortable. There was ample parking on the premises which is great if you drive from somewhere, it can be hard to find somewhere in Melbourne with parking. Being a smoker it was good as when I rang I told them this... More

What I liked most was the hotel's convenient location on Lygon Street, very close to great restaurants. Staff were friendly although not all together helpful. Room was clean and presentable each evening of my stay. Would've appreciated cable/Austar/Foxtel on the tvs, reception wasn't perfect. The corridors at night had bad accoustics and enabled a lot of road noise and wildlife... More

Paid $204 dollars for a nights stay and the room was dirty. In the bathroom on the ground there was clearly not my hair or my daughters as we have long hair someone else's short hair all over the ground. The room are just dirty the pellets are black looks like they haven't been cleaned for years, even the mini... More

There seems to have been some changes in management since I last stayed at this hotel. These are for the better and I felt very comfortable dealing with all of the staff. My ongoing disappointment is breakfast. I was offered a cooked breakfast which I thought would come with toast - would be nice to be given the heads up... More

This is the perfect hotel to stay right on Lygon street! The staff are great and the rooms are HUGE! Great value! The breakfast is quite nice too! Easy walking to must things! also across the road from a 711 store!
