"1. The room smells of heavy smoke even from the bedsheets! This is a smokers room paradise
2. The bathroom clogged up easily
3. The room was so small like a penitentiary cell. Can’t even fit a chair in room !
4. The short Indian guy at counter extremely rude. Said Wifi in all the rooms the same !
5. The Wifi was absolutely non existent. Hardly was able to connect
6. I demand one day refund! I only stayed one night & had to leave. That room was toxic !"

Very nicely decorated lobby and room. The bed was very comfy, I was pleasantly surprised at the springy mattress and soft cotton sheets! Sound proofing was good as well, I cant hear anything from the next room. The staff are super smiley and friendly. In the daytime, you may hear some bells from the nearby place of worship. Also the toilet shares a sliding door with the shower, so you cant close both the shower and the toilet doors at the same time. There's another wall in front of the shower...

The Receptionist (a Malay lady) was very helpful in sharing with us how to get around Georgetown. She gave us a map with the bus numbers and destinations. The hotel is 15 minutes walking distance to KOMTAR (where the main bus station and malls are located). There is no eatery close by to SO Hotel.
She also offered to put our luggage into our room once the room was ready as we were out of the hotel then.
The room had no window but with the price that we paid it was ok. We had a choice of pillow...

Hosts howie and arthur are friendly. I stayed over xmas eve and xmas. They hosted a xmas potluck party. Free food, free drinks, awesome conversations. Atmosphere was great.
Room is rather small. Aircon is cold. Water heater works. But footsteps can be heard in this refitted colonial house if you stay on the 2nd floor.
Location is good. Very central. Minutes walk to the bus stop and to some great eats.
