“Melbourne's stylish stay”

On a great location — Chinatown and Crown walkable, a free tram outside W Melbourne is a definitely-recommended new stay: a stylish well-designed room, a beautiful pool and stylish design throughout. A severe dissent though: a mini office-tower conversion feel plasticky rooms, corridors, lift lobby and gym, a nightclub-filter vibe, no bottled water (a filtered tap instead) and ordinary bedding and toiletries versus traditional full-building hotels like Crown, Langham or Park Hyatt per that guest; plus average soundproofing noted.
