My girlfriend and I stayed there in april 2009 in a room on the second floor. I think it was called the King room. It was a nice place to stay. It was clean, asked for a decent view and they provided, it was close to restaurants and the city. My only issue with the room was that it was... more

Enjoyed a 3 night stay in a quiet back room on the third floor (think it was room 331 with a king bed). This is a 1960s hotel that has been renovated well and rooms include a large bathroom and extra comfortable bed. Didn't have breakfast included and there are a few cafes open early on Lygon St (turn left... more

This is the second time that we have stayed at the Downtowner on Lygon. We have an annual Xmas party that we attend in Lygon St and this is an ideal city crash pad. The bed is huge and truly the best hotel bed I've ever slept in - it even beats the bed at home! I love the decor... more

Very friendly, helpful staff and free Internet access in lobby were... more

I have stayed in this hotel for business a few times now and I highly recommend it especially if you are looking for quality and clean accommodation around Carlton area. It is about a 10-minute walk to the CBD (Bourke St.) and only a couple of blocks from Melbourne Central. Great restaurants on Lygon right on your doorstep which all... more
