The service was good

Cafe with few flies

Such a beautiful place! Staff were amazing Love the complimentary drinks in the evening, creates such a nice vibe Room sizes are incredible Loved it and would definitely go back!

Need to cut back the trees around the pool so that you can actually sunbathe/ get some sun around the pool Whole building inside and out needs a paint refresh and then this place would be perfect!

Really beautiful old building in a very good central location. Staff were beyond helpful and helped us to plan our itenary for our stay, they also sent a list of places to eat and drink before we arrived which can in really handy. Theres a communal lounge area with free snacks/drinks which was a great addition. The pool and outdoor seating space is really nicely done, and very peaceful considering the central location.

Noise from the hawker centre opposite was quite loud in our room, but seemed to stop at a reasonable time. Bathroom has a curtain rather than a door which I don’t think helps with the noise either. Our double room was quite small for our stay, so would probably choose to upgrade next time.

Staff were SO helpful, service fantastic. We forgot to change room to ‘please service my room’ after asking for privacy but they came even at the end of the day. Room - great size but as it’s an old building only window was in bathroom and misted. Building is old and full of character though and we love smaller hotels (35 rooms) so a very quiet hotel). Location - quiet location except for food centre across the road which has live music in the evenings but stops at 1130pm so was fine. I’m a light sleeper 😉. Would stay again!!

Malaysian hotels all have firm beds - sorry hard!

This is a truly unique hotel in a great location. The exterior and interior of the hotel is beautiful and really well maintained. The staff are super friendly and helpful (they provided some excellent recommendations for us in terms of local vegan restaurants and places to visit). The rooms are a good size and the beds are large and comfortable. We didn't use the pool area, but it looked like a really nice place to relax.

Can't really think of anything to put here to be honest. If you're staying in Penang, this place is where you should be staying.

We received a warm welcome on our arrival . Albert gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants and sight seeing . The room was comfortable and stylish. Breakfast was lovely . Snacks and drinks were provided day and night. Happy hour with a free wine and nibbles was a lovely touch . The staff were outstanding with lovely senses of humour. I loved the pool . Nothing was ever too much for Albert . He spent ages sorting out flights for us and was always Hayton give advice

Loved it all .

The location is fantastic, right where you want to be to explore George Town. And the hotel itself is great - quirky, with some lovely heritage features. But the best thing about The Edison is the staff - they were attentive but not overbearing. They listened to our requests prior to check in, and did their best to deliver a top experience. Albert, the manager, can provide tons of recommendations for meals out, places to visit, things not to miss.

great conversion of an historical building - we liked the ‘kitchen’ styled dining room very social space to eat and have a drink at night - nice happy hour idea to provide guests wine and nibbles between 6 and 7. Staff are all brilliant always ready to have a chat - good knowledge of George Town sites and restaurants - would definitely return.

our room was just beside reception and near the pool which was ok but i think i would request an upstairs room if i returned just to make the stay perfect !

The style of the outside of the Hotel was welcoming. On entering, it had a clean stylish interior. Very tastefully decorated and sympathetically decorated to the style of the colonial period. The whole place had a beautiful dreamy atmosphere about it. The Staff in every area of the hotel delivered Outstanding Customer Service. They were helpful and eager to help without being overbearing . The outside eating area remained me of being by the pool area, with three or four areas where you could draw the beautiful coordinating curtains for privacy. I did not use the swimming pool myself, but was told the temperature was just right. The breakfast offer was just right to set you up for the day because all around were great places for you to eat other things you might like.

That I haven’t been here before now.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel in a great location. The rooms are very spacious and clean and the staff are so helpful and welcoming and definitely can’t fault the service. The hotel provide complimentary snacks and cold drinks throughout the day which are very welcome after a day in the heat and each evening they offer free wine & cheese which is really enjoyable before heading out for the evening.

The room didn’t include a kettle or coffeemaker which our booking description included but when I questioned this with the hotel they did arrange for a kettle to be provided. Certainly not a massive issue and it was resolved very quickly.
