SohoTown Hotel

The three of us stayed here for 8 days (my sister was having eye surgery at IKONIK) paying up front using Traveloka. Tourists will be asked to pay RM10 per room per night as per the regulation written on Traveloka. We got a single bed and a double bed for a reasonable price. After staying for more than a week around this area, I would say this is how people around here usually communicate with other people. They may sound harsh or look unfriendly, but that's how people around here are lol. The good thing is they still say thank you and help you when you need it. That's all that matters. The hotel was okay, overall, imo. However some people may say otherwise due to the lack of cleanliness and the fact that there aren't any windows so the air flow was really bad. The moment we opened the door, it was really hot and smelled moldy. My solution would be to open the door and air out the AC every day for about 30-60 minutes. The whole 8 days didn't feel so bad that way. As soon as we arrived, there were bits of hair everywhere lol, as if the staff didn't clean the room as well as they should have. Plus the shampoo dispenser was broken so the shampoo leaked onto the floor... My sister thought it was blood or something lol 😆 Well, looking at the price, that was understandable. My solution would be cleaning up a bit after airing out the AC, of course only if you are inclined to do so. I tend to look for the solution than complain all the time 🤣 The staff were pretty friendly and we could change the towels daily (we changed per 2 days because the towels were really easy to dry). We took out the trash and changed the trash bag daily. Water was almost always available in the dispenser in the hallway. The place is inside Chinatown so expect to find a lot of non-halal food around here. However, just go right and you will see a bunch of stands and restos selling halal food. Btw there are 2 restos that I like on Jalan Sultan: +60 MyHub and Ma La Tang. Try them ❤️ Make sure you bring enough cash because a lot of places here don't accept cards or DuitNow. Sad. The Wi-Fi was top notch! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Genshin played at about 100-120ms delay at most. Funny thing happened one time after the heavy rain. The rooms all had blackout except the hallways, lol. It was resolved in 15mins though, so all was well. Some people may find this very inconvenient but I think it was a funny occurrence! 😚 If you have more budget, better go stay somewhere else like Floresta Hotel Chinatown just 100m away (other places in the area either didn't have 3 persons room available or too expensive for us at the moment of our visit). If not, then this hotel is not that bad a choice. You might even find something that can only be found here lol (such as the weird smell at the lobby - I think it was disinfectant... idk 🤔). Not for drama queens, for sure.
