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...

Have a good stay in the room, value for money. The room provides the basic need and have washing machine and fridge outside the public area. Many restaurants and foods around that area. The room may need some renovation for the floor and toilet for the wear and tear.

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.

Trendy property with good proximity to KOMTAR and yet provides a stay void of the commotion and noises. Friendly staff. Ideal place to stay if you appreciate simple things in life. Smaller room. Ideal for 2. Can see the care that has gone into every single detail of the property. Would recommend to friends.

The staffs are extremely friendly and helpful, and would take the extra step to make sure the stay was comfortable. The room was neat and clean, with all vanities available.
