“Good budget choice in Georgetown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2012

The hotel "SO" is located out of busy touristic area of the center of Georgetown, but it's also not very close to it: you need about 20-25 min on foot to get to the historic center (eventually it's possible to take the bus on the main road ca 5 min from hotel). The hotel is new, modern and clean. The... More

“Clean, modern, comparitively cheap but not right in the centre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011

SO hotel is clearly very new.
