I had a decent stay for five nights, though there were some issues with the water supply that impacted my experience. The toilets and washing machine shared a single water supply, which made bathing and washing quite challenging. However, the overall atmosphere was nice, and I appreciated the boutique features of the hotel.

My stay at Sopoong The Urban had its ups and downs. While the accommodation was decent overall, the water supply situation was quite frustrating. With only minimal water for the toilets and washing machine, bathing became a real challenge. However, the vegetarian couscous at the dining area was a delicious highlight! 🍽️

My stay at Sopoong The Urban was kinda decent overall, but I faced some major hiccups. The toilets were super tiny and the water supply for bathing was minimal, which really made things tricky. On the flip side, the location is prime and the vibe is chill, making it a nice spot to come back to after exploring the city.
