The downtowner is is a great location that is easy to find and easy to get to from the airport. The onsite free parking is a real bonus. Close to shopping and bars/restaurants on Lygon St and only a stones throw to trendy Fitzroy. Maybe not ideal if you are working in the CBD, but great for what we needed... More

Just stayed 3 nights and have stayed there before due to the good location. Sufficiently comfortable, clean and well maintained however disappointed in a couple of aspects. Firstly the wi-fi didn't work and had to have the IT support people involved. Lost a day of staying in touch with business. They have Foxtel but no Foxtel footy! Needless to say... More

Dear gmb27, Thank you for your feedback, and I am sorry to hear about the issues during your stay. We use a 3rd party wi-fi provider, who offer relatively quick service, whilst admittedly rather pricey tend to deliver good value. We are looking at alternaitves to this, and at the very least reducing the cost to our customers. I am... More

I'll give credit where credit is due, The Downtowner on Lygon was great, staff were fantastic, rooms impeccably clean and tidy& very convenient off-street parking. Checking in & out was quick and simple. My whole weekend experience was stress free and I loved the bathrooms, quite often I'll stay at places which offer a dark pokey room but this one... More

The staff here are always friendly and welcoming. Food is very good. Can be a little noisy with street noise on lower levels at the front of the building, but there are plenty of rooms in the quiet areas down the back and side. Comfy beds and pillows. More

Our room was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. It would be a little 'cosy' for larger sized guests. The staff were cheerful,friendly and helpful. We enjoyed being able to walk to the State library,the museum and the limitless choice of great retaurants in Lygon Street. Excellent value;we're already planning another weekend off the farm. More

Dear Judy O, I am pleased you found our rooms clean and comfortable, and that our staff were friendly - many of them also hail from country regions, so this may be been the reason. We look forward to your next stay with us when you come back to the "big smoke". Warm regards Keivn Birchall General Manager More
