The hotel was well maintained, and has a very rich history. I was quite satisfied with staying at the hotel overall. Especially, I loved the room. It is analogue & old, but we can feel histories. I was surprised that there are two basins in bath room, there was beautiful stained glass on the door of the bathroom. The location was quite nice for sight seeing in Georgetown, very convenient, but quiet.
Room facilities are quite excellent overall.
Swimming pool was much smaller than my expectation. (It is not good to use the picture, taken by hotel.) We can see the sea, but it is not clean.

This was a delightful hotel reminescent of the British colonial days. Our window opened out to the sea providing a splendid ambiance for tea time in the cool breezes. The bathroom was quite luxurious and fully furnished with quality toliteries and a fluffy robe.
If you long for an elegant, restful location with pleasant, but not hovering service, go to the E & O on your next holiday.
Elegant, quiet, but with all the amenities
A bit of a trip to the Penang beaches, mountains and forest areas
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : A rickshaw ride through old Chinatown was unique and fun.

The wwimming pool is amazing. However, you don't have access to the beach.
After Penang, we were continuing our trip to Langkawi and the boat that will get you there in three hours is very close to the hotel.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The historic blue Chinese house is nearby and you can visit every day at 11am (now a B&B). We didn't get to do it but it appaers to be a must to visit a typical beautifully kept Chinese house.
