Sogor Dormitory is the latest accommodation concept offering a unique lodging space that is located right in the heart of George Town. Sogor is Penang’s first capsule hotel facility, strategically placed within Penang’s bustling heritage enclave. Unlike other run-of-the-mill city hotels and motels, our facility combines the romance of colonial history with the best of travel lodge-style comfort in
a harmonious arrangement. The result is a culturally-attuned and aesthetically-refined living space that is both eco-friendly and homely. At Sogor, we believe that our guests are special, and they come first; the satisfaction of our guests and the meeting of their needs are always our top priority. Sogor is dedicated to providing the ultimate accommodation option for a special category of travelers – the independent female traveler, whose journeys around the world may bring her to the shores of Penang. As the first ‘women only’ capsule hotel in Penang, we offer the adventurous solo women travelers a secure haven and total peace of mind when they stay with us. Whether they choose to travel alone, or with a group of female friends, Sogor Dormitory is designed to complete their journey by meeting all their basic travel, transport, and itinerary requirements. As a women-only accommodation facility, Sogor also offers a full range of other intangible ‘soul-fulfilling’ experiences. At Sogor, women travelers may enjoy a safe and uncompromised living space that they deserve, build networks of friendship with other women travelers, and of course, share travel tips and ideas, and other ‘gems’ of the wisdom they have picked up on their travel adventures around the globe. In fact, our guests will find that we are more than just a safe and comfortable ‘accommodation oasis’; at Sogor, we are partners in the HELPX** program, where in the spirit of exchange and sharing, selected solo female travelers could volunteer short service stints at our facility, in return for free board and meals.
** HELPX stands for ‘help exchange’, a program inspired by the belief that longer-term adventurous travel and its associated accommodation/food costs may be offset by ‘barter-trading’ work services to meet the travelers’ needs.
