Colonial charm meets contemporary chic! ”
So much fun at The Edison, Penang! Truly where colonial charm meets contemporary chic. Privileged to experience other chains of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, we knew the service & hospitality would be impeccable & it was! Highlights of our stay: 1. The Mansion - A real beauty despite being more than 100 years old. We couldn’t help but google the history of Georgetown & also the Edison. Rich with heritage. 2. The Lounge - Heaven! You’ll see us here most times. The hotel does not have a restaurant or room service, but the lounge is tenfold better! You would notice that there is no electric kettle & fridge that is usually provided in the rooms and that’s because they provide all & more that you need at The Lounge. Freshly brewed coffee or tea, juices, assortment of beverages & snacks for you to refuel 24/7. Also during teatime, they offer tea, & wine, & assortment of cheese & nuts to snack on while you relax by the pool waiting for the sun to set. 3. If you do stay in & decide to order takeout you can ask their most helpful & polite staff for disposable plates & cutleries & have your food by the pool. On our 1st night it was raining non stop & we couldn’t go out to our favourite hawker stalls, so we ordered our favourite Char Kuew Tiaw thru Grab Food. 4. We were given a room downstairs which was best for us with kids. The stairs to the room upstairs can be quite steep especially for the elderly. 5. Breakfast was really basic, unlike the buffet spread that we’ve gotten used to. The Continental breakfast with eggs, bread & salad, was actually ok. An assortment of jams, juices, coffee, tea, yogurts & some fruits are also available. If you are someone who looks forward to a big breakfast during holidays (like we do) not to worry, there are many cafes & good cheap food available outside, within walking distance. Or if your a little lazy (it is your holiday!) just get your food delivered. Easy peasy! Enjoyed our short stay & hope to come back sooner than later!

Birthday Holiday ”
Before I begin, I would like to thank Mr. Ivan and Mr. Albert! People like you are the assets of the hotel management. The warm welcome, friendliness has given us the best comfort in the hotel. The hotel was beautiful and the service were top notch. Not forgetting the location of the hotel is very much strategic to most places. I was there to celebrate my birthday and it was so kind enough of the hotel to surprise myself and husband a birthday cake. They have a 24 hour lounge filled with juices, coffee, tea, hot water, biscuits and local tidbits. The ambience is beautiful and gives you historic feeling looking at the design and architecture of the building. I would suggest this hotel for those who wants to relax and enjoy a calm holiday and to visit around Georgetown.

Wonderful stay in Penang ”
This beautiful, unique hotel offers large, comfortable rooms and a perfect location for exploring Georgetown. What makes the experience outstanding though is the personalized service delivered by all the staff, led by Albert at the front desk. We loved our stay, I only wish we had a few more days to spend exploring.

An Awesome Experience”
From the moment we drove into the hotel premises, we were wow-ed by the attentive service of their staff who came over to our car to collect of luggage. The staff was very knowledgeable on the history of the building as well as the various places to eat. Our whole stay was very personalized as the staff addressed us by our names and customized to our needs. Ivan the hotel manager was also very helpful and informative about the places of interest in Penang. There is a lounge area which caters to our simple breakfast, coffee, juices and snacks. All the staff were very hospitable and offered us a customized experience and service. Rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable to sleep in. All in all, it was a beautiful stay and an awesome experience at the colonial Edison hotel. We would definitely come back

Great service”
Clean, good location, spacious room, and friendly staff. All staff including the security guard and cleaning always care about us. They gave us recommendations for local canteens, and make reservations for restaurants on our behalf. The only downside could be noise from a nearby open-air restaurant at night, but acceptable.

Wonderful Rooms, Amazing Architecture & Great Service”
The place comes with free self service drinks & snacks from the kitchen (coffee, tea, soft drinks, fruit juices), and also they have a very nice pool at the side of the building. The hotel has a beautiful colonial mansion architecture, so do take lots of pictures when you arrive. The Manager is really attentive to our requests and he even offered us free late checkout (just by a couple of hours), since we couldn't arrive earlier on the day before, so we just chilled by the pool with our drinks! The rooms are really comfortable, with all the room facilities provided. Highly recommended! It's at the northwest side of Georgetown and hotel parking is available.

Gorgeous boutique hotel”
We were excited to stay here cos the pictures and reviews looked so good. It looked exactly like promised! Architecturally, the details and character are well-preserved while the updates to bring it to the 21st century are tastefully executed and respected the heritage of the building. If I had to nitpick, the update to the flooring of the stairs may have missed the mark. We appreciated the attentive and personalised service by the staff here. Beats most large 5-star chain hotels. Phei Lee, Chloe, David and the rest of their colleagues were approachable and very helpful. The rooms are very roomy for a boutique hotel and well appointed with all the necessary amenities. We appreciated the original mosaic tiles for the bedroom were preserved. As it is a heritage building, the windows don’t exactly dampen outside noise. So if you’re wanting to sleep in past 8am, bring ear plugs lest being awaken by the whir of the leaf blower. The lap pool is a decent size and great to cool off on hot and humid days. On-site parking is also a plus for those driving. Location wise it is walking distance to all the bars, restaurants and hawker food surrounding Chulia. Stress free from looking for parking. A simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast and side salad was of good quality and we enjoyed the authentic kaya for breakfast very much! Will definitely book again when we’re back in Penang!

Is Your 2nd Home”
Never ever felt a hotel stay can be as comfortable as your own home. A nostalgic standalone mansion with private parking gives us a feel like going back to your grandparent's house with a warm friendly butler (aka hotel staff) that greets you each time whenever you are back. Complimentary wine for every day with a choice of red or white to the guest. Also, an unlimited complimentary local snacks & drinks to enjoy in the common pantry area at any time of the day. We miss it every now and then. =)

Exceptional”
I love our stay at Edison. The hotel is beautiful and the staff worked very hard to make sure we had a comfortable stay. As a boutique hotel, Edison may not have as many amenities as a full sized hotel but the space design is so thoughtful. I love that they keep things simple and execute them perfectly. Thanks for the enjoyable and comfortable stay!

Amazing hotel”
We had a really great stay here, the staff are so attentive, friendly and helpful. The common areas are brilliant, where you can help yourself to coffee, snacks and drinks from the fridge. The rooms are very spacious and extremely comfortable. The wine hour is such a nice touch. The only downside was a lack of variety with breakfast but this did not bother us too much.

A lovely colonial relic boutique hotel”
The Edison Hotel is a tastefully renovated, heritage listed colonial era residence in the heart of Georgetown. This boutique hotel is comfortable and has good facilities including a lap pool, a guests lounge and happy hour from 6 - 7 pm. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful making this a very welcoming and comfortable place to stay in the heart of vibrant Penang. The hotel is well situated within walking distance of bars, cafes, restaurants of Georgetown. I would recommend the Edison to business travelers, couples and families. A jewel in the heart of Penang.

The perfect hotel with a perfect team!”
We stayed at The Edison for four days and three nights in January and had an awesome experience. The hotel is stunningly beautiful and perfectly restored. It has the old world charm, with the modern day conveniences and luxury you’d expect of a 5-star hotel. The hotel itself is well worth the money, but what makes this the perfect experience is the team at the hotel. They made us feel like this was our house and we’re all part of the family. I’d like to recognize the extraordinary service we received from Sharmin, Sophia, Connie, Li Ni, Jerome, Suet Chin, and Rina. The Edison goes to the top of my list alongside The Strand in Yangon, the Ritz Carlton Mandapa Reserve in Ubud, Heritance Kandalama, and the Arabella on Boossa in Galle. The location is ideal for exploring Georgetown, with Chulia Street around the corner and must-visit locations like the Blue Mansion right across the street. I can’t imagine a better experience in Penang than The Edison.

Amazing!”
I can't sing their praises enough. Despite the kitchen not being open yet the service and warm welcome we received made us not care in the slightest. The hotel itself is just stunning, that colonial charm had us in love with The Edison. There is a 24 hour room which has great teas coffees and snacks which the kids adored. We ordered grab food and also bought some cheeses and meats which the staff plated up beautifully. Anything we needed which was possible was given. Special thanks to Tamil and Ivan, lovely warm and kind hosts. I shall definitely be back and bringing my parents.

Good Things Come in Small Packages”
This is our fourth stay at The Edison. We are never disappointed. The ambience suits our style. We love the quiet and privacy of a small boutique hotel. The staff is always on the ball and welcoming. We are never too far from our favorite eateries. We will be back again !

Lovely hotel in a heritage building in a central location ”
My room was huge and the facilities very nice. The hotel team were very friendly and helpful. Folks with mobility issues should ask for rooms on the ground floor as the steep stairs to the upper floor rooms may be an issue. Light sleepers may have an issue with the noise from the Red Garden opposite esp if there are singers performing

Perfect Hotel! ”
This was an amazing hotel and I am so pleased we chose it! The service is impeccable - everyone was kind and incredibly attentive to small details such as remembering our morning coffee orders each day. The rooms are comfy, clean and well decorated. The snack area and wine in the evenings is such a great touch! The building is old and historic, but tastefully updated. It was easy walking distance everywhere we wanted to visit. I would happily stay here again - thank you for a wonderful vacation for our family!
