Classy”
This was my third stay at the E&O since 2015. It’s one of my favourite places to stay (I love colonial style hotels) so I was very happy to be back. Previously, I’d stayed in a corner suite in the Victory Annexe - the modern part of the hotel. This time, I stayed in a Heritage Suite. It was a beautiful room with an ocean view, and a separate lounge/dining area. Lots of nice touches, eg a Nespresso machine, loose leaf teas, dressing gowns, morning newspapers and a complimentary minibar. The turn down service was useful for topping up. Drawbacks: 1/ There wasn’t a huge amount of wardrobe storage space and all the drawers are rather inconveniently located under a writing bureau. 2/ We had a storm one evening and it rained quite heavily through the balcony doors. 3/ The (locked) doors connecting to the next room were a pain - total lack of soundproofing meant we had to listen to our neighbour snoring heavily. I had to knock on the door one night as it was stopping me from sleeping. I was happy to see the tradition of drinks and canapés between 6-7pm has continued, although it has moved from the Victory Annexe to a smaller room in the Heritage Wing with a more basic food offering and a more mainstream drinks collection, most of which you now have to order rather than help yourself to. Definitely not as good as it was, but still very pleasant nonetheless. Food and Bev: The breakfast buffet at Sarkies was excellent. Room service menu was limited. It needs more choice. Service at the Heritage Wing pool was poor. Staff constantly disappearing. Hard to get their attention and orders slow to arrive, although the cocktails were excellent when they finally arrived. Elsewhere, there’s now just one gym instead of two - which is fine - but the choice of equipment is a bit odd and quite limited. There’s plenty of space in there to add some more kit and make it a great space. Not a 10/10 but overall still a brilliant hotel. Staff are great and it’s just a lovely place to hang

A Fine Heritage”
Before booking a stay at the E&O, I didn’t know they had two wings. As luck would have it, I chose a room in the Heritage Wing - and what a room it was. Truthfully, I was looking at the lowest priced room (it’s not cheap, mind you!) and wasn’t paying attention to the details, so I did NOT expect it to be this grand, and well, well worth the price. If you’re planning to stay here, I heartily recommend choosing the Heritage Wing - a fully stocked mini-bar, complimentary bottle of wine, free laundry service (3 pieces), free cocktail hour (weekends only, free flow of wine and beer + sandwiches, snacks and finger food!), access to swimming pools in both wings... That’s on top of a fabulously spacious and well-appointed room, with a bed you will not want to get out of unless it’s to head to breakfast - from which you have 3 venues to choose from. Will definitely be back!

Perfection in Penang”
If ever a hotel earned its right to being 5-star, this is it. Absolutely magnificent hotel, right on the waters of the Andaman Sea. Mind you, we were staying in the Vintage wing, which is where the well-heeled congregate. The only slight criticism I would make (though it's not a big deal) is the sight of Germans doing what they shamelessly used to do in Spain: drape their towels on lounge chairs by the pool and basically reserve the chair for a whole week or more!!

Great stay”
The hotel - needless to say - excellent. The staff, in particular Ms Nagesh, was very helpful and accomodative. The chef, an Indian gentleman whose good name now eludes me and for which I apologise, was extremely kind enough to make some tasty vegetarian dishes for breakfast. The housekeeping staff were very accomodative. In short, a great stay. I take this opportunity to thank all who made my stay pleasant. This was my second stay. Looking forward to coming back again.

Friendly Staff & Beautiful Pool”
I love their poolside, it’s a coronial style, but water are very cold. The room is big and the bathroom is hug. I love the balcony area, we make love at the private balcony while seeing the sea…amazing experienced (must try that!) The gym room is big, clean & new equipments. We have a CNY steamboat for dinner, the soup and selection of foods are excellent. The car park in free for guest. The bed very comfortable & the air-con in good condition & powerful. Definitely I will come back again for this E&O hotel.

My Second Stay and I'll Be Back”
My first stay at the E&O two months ago was so good, I just had to repeat it on this trip. This time was even better. I stayed in the Annexe win where every room has a view of the sea. The rooms are large, the bathrooms are luxurious, and I found myself spending hours on the balcony reading and listening to the waves. Breakfast is stupendous with your choice of western and local dishes. I did a bit of both and went back for more. Yes, it's a bit more expensive than most hotels on the Island, but if you can afford it, you will be pampered and cared for like no other place.

Awesome”
One of the best hotel in Georgetown and the room was super clean and comfy bed. The hotel receptionist allowed us to check in as per request and they treated us very well. We have no words breakfast because the spread was super duper large and they have all type of food including international and local and we have no space to eat. We would definitely recommend to all of you to go for this hotel as it is worth of the money and such a good ambient. If you all a hi tea person you can try them.

We are staying at the Premier Suite, and absolutely love it. The room is beautiful, good amenities, with extremely comfortable bed and chairs.

The hotel itself is classy, very well maintained and luxurious. Very happy with our stay and highly recommend this hotel!

Best hotel in Penang!”
The hotel was well maintained, the environment was good and all of the staffs are very friendly and helpful. The dinner buffet (only available on Friday and Saturday night on additional cost) was excellent as there a lot of food variety. The breakfast spread was also great. Since the hotel and restaurant is facing the sea, I would suggest to hv breakfast during sunrise as the view is superb. The beach in front of the hotel was also very clean, no unpleasant smell. All in all, very good and memorable trip, worth every money spent! Will definitely come back again.

Old colonial style at its best”
A wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend E&O The service standards are excellent and it offers that duly old colonial style. Seldom do we see the way our hotel system used to be. Modern hotels just don’t compare. Here you get spacious rooms that are 100% quiet , large corridors to get around, excellent facilities l. Exceptionally professional staff and a clientele that appreciates this experience

Lovely stay”
My husband and I had the best time staying in the hotel. Spacious, cosy and not to mention a huge four claw bathtub for hot shower. balcony attached, facing the sea, you can see the sun rise and set. The only downside is that staffs are too diligent and was cleaning day and night, and it was kind of creepy when I realize the room was cleaned after our evening gathering with our friend., didnt expect that. But still love it!! 5 stars

Classic, historical hotel”
The E&0 had always intrigued me when I had visited Penang in the past; I felt it was time to learn first hand why it is so beloved throughout history. The rooms are large and almost flawless. The staff is friendly and helpful. The sea view is just wonderful. The public areas are all spotless and well-appointed in every detail. Even the halls to the rooms sport historical mementoes of Penang's past. The breakfast was amazing with fare to suit all tastes. We certainly left the dining area in the Annex ready for each day's adventures. Only small limitations prevented a 100% rating; the only door to the outside dining area was half blocked so all outdoor patrons had to use the half-door immediately adjacent to the bussing area full of dirty plates. In addition, the outside dining area was a bit dirty; the tables and chairs need to be cleaned after each patron. Finally, the only real complaint I had was the noise from the party and drinking club adjacent to the west wing of the Annex. E&O needs to explain in their room descriptions the limitations of the west-side rooms. The views were great from the balcony, but the noise from the club certainly could be heard on the 8th floor, even with windows closed.

Unique experience”
Stayed at the newer Victory Annexe wing. It is a mix of modern and more vintage architecture. The hallways are wide and this space adds to the feel of a grandeur mansion. It does take you back in time, just the vibes that Penang often exudes! The room had a great view of the Penang Straits and the city coastline!!

Pleasurable Stay”
Pros: 1. Excellent service (from check-in to check-out) 2. Fantastic room (stayed at the Deluxe Suites, Heritage Wing) with a fantastic view. Well furnished and very clean. 3. Farquhar's Bar. A very good place to chill-out for cocktails and pub food. Great service and food (a must try, the Char Kuay Teow). 4. The swimming pool (Heritage Wing). Nostalgia filled, even if it is a smaller pool in comparison to today's standards. But fantastic deck chairs, so comfortable!! Cons: Nothing really. Everything up to expectations. Looking forward to staying there again.

Birthday treat for my mummy”
The hotel is EXCELLENT. If you are looking for a posh birthday treat for your mummy, this is IT! Mummy loved her 3 day, 2 night stay. We had a room (1017) facing the jetty in the Victory Annexe- absolutely beautiful, very calming with the sound of the waves at night as you sleep. The hotel's colonial vibe with its history makes it charming. All staff were friendly & professional. International breakfast at Sarkies (Ground floor) was excellent. We had roti channai which was accompanied with fish curry & dalca (vegetarian curry). Being a Singaporean, I felt like home with my very familiar comfort food. To my (very pleasant) surprise, they took it a notch higher when the fish curry was actually SALMON curry. This was my very first time trying SALMON with thick curry (just how i like it). It tasted absolutely delicious. You MUST try. If you want to go for a nice dinner with live jazz band playing, you can take a 5 mins stroll from the hotel to ThirtyTwo at The Mansion.

Heritage Hotel along Georgetown's historic waterfront”
This colonial-era hotel lived up to my expectations! The room was spacious and exquisitely-designed. They even provided a batik sarong wrap to get a feel of what locals would wear. The buffet breakfast at Sarkies was one of the best I have ever experienced with the wide range of local and international cuisine. Do try the char kway teow! It has the smokiness and char (wok hei) like how it is done by street hawkers. If you want to unwind and be pampered, the Panpuri spa is the place to be with its excellent service and spa packages. We will be back!
