Stayed here for a night and was impressed from the moment we arrived. On arrival you are met by extremely courteous door staff who immediately take care of your baggage as you are calmly ushered to reception past the concierge, looking resplendant in his planter shorts and pith helmet. The reception is large, attractive and once you are booked in... more

The E&O Hotel in Georgetown Penang was a nice hotel with good sized rooms/ suites. We originally booked into a Georgetown Suite with city views but the magnitude of the suite was over whelming so after the first night we asked if we could be moved to a slightly smaller sea view room if one was available. The staff were... more

This Colonial style hotel in Georgetown stands as elegant as the day it was built. Refurbishment a few years ago has restored the place to its former glory.

They said they agreed with my complaint and offered a minor room upgrade if I would reinstate my booking. When I explained that I had made alternative arrangements and the only night I was... more

We stayed for two weeks and had the most marvellous time. This is a quiet understated hotel with exquisite service, friendly attentive helpful staff. The rooms were classy, comfortable and our view over the strait from the first floor constantly interesting. We felt like we were visiting a comfortable country house with good friends, the staff did anything and everything... more

This hotel is an amazing place to spend your evenings in. I truly enjoyed having drinks by the pool and bar as the noisy restaurant next door is shielded by a wall and some hedges. Plus, no noisy children! Food is not so great, however the space the rooms provide gives it an edge over other hotels within the city.... more
