The Edison George Town

This property is exceptional. Every member of the staff was amazing with impressive service across the board. I would love to return and will recommend the Edison without hesitation. Amazing hotel.

This boutique hotel offers everything. Awesome staff. Big rooms. Enjoyable breakfast. Love the happy hr. Get to meet other guests. Staff always happy to help and recommend options for dining in the local area. Albert and Phai Lee and other staff were always on hand to help out. Great old building beautifully maintained. The pool was an added bonus after a long day exploring.

Albert and his team did a great job hosting me for 2 nights ! Hotel is efficient but also very laid back . It’s an old mansion and some of the public areas do not have AC . Anywhere you would like to me had AC and was comfortable ! Free non- alcoholic drinks and snacks available . Breakfast prepared to order eggs were great ! Lap pool is good location to chill out after a busy day ! Looking forward to returning ! Check my postings I don’t give many 5 star ratings

Albert and staff fabulous

I felt the contiental breakfast could have been more generous and varied. Only one small bowl of fruit available " this seems unfair in a country of marvelous fruits at v cheap price.also no fresh juice just packet
Bathroom only separed from bed by curtain ok but not ideal for privacy on" the throne"
Manager and staff very friendly and helpful with excellent recommendations
Great location for sightseeing and restaurants- interesting historic building beautiful appointed

This is a beautiful,1906 hotel that has been maintained its historic floors, metal post and iron works, and general appearance. The breakfast was nice and the lounge was open with drinks and snacks all day. The people were very helpful and did their best to make our stay happy! We recommend it!

Beautiful small hotel in the centre of Georgetown. Super relaxed / at home vibe when staying there, and the building is very interesting.

Lovely room, great service, comfy bed.
Fantastic welcome and orientation to the hotel and area.
Room on main floor was very noisy from room above, so maybe take upper room if light sleeper (though could be noisy wirth rain)

Great hotel with a lot of history. Amazingly helpful staff. However if walking up stairs is an issue for you then maybe not stay here - no lift although there are ground floor rooms

This is my sixth visit at The Edison. The staff makes our stay very welcoming & warm every time.

Loved this little gem.

We loved the historic element of the property. The location in Georgetown, Penang was also perfect. The best part of the stay was the excellent staff who offered many great suggestions for food and sightseeing and generally extended such wonderful hospitality.

The Edison is a comfortable friendly boutique style hotel with a modern colonial vibe. Very well located in the heart of heritage Georgetown. Decor is elegant and understated. The real strength of the place though is the staff. Really nice service at all terms. Friendly and seemingly informal but ever helpful and anticipating needs, with nothing ever too much trouble. My stay was for 6 nights and it never faltered and if anything just kept on getting better. If you have mobility issues be sure to ask for a downstairs room as there are mo lifts. Only slight quibble was that wifi data rates were patchy. But overall it’s strongly recommended.

Beautiful hotel inside and out. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Breakfast and unlimited snack and drinks were great.

We could not have been happier with our stay. Thank you everyone at Edison. Room 119. Burt and Aiko

The band across the street played loud music until 2330. The staff were amazingly wonderful and good. This is a true boutique hotel not to be confused with anything modern, but it was truly comfortable and charming.

top attendance of service staff.
great ambience of the old colonial Penang
near to everything you want to see of Georgetown

The staff were attentive to our every need, from recommending local restaurants to booking a taxi to the airport. Unfortunately the noise levels just beyond us . There is singing club just across the street and will start @ 9:30 and last till 11:30 pm every night . Wi-Fi was patchy . If u need Wi-Fi , this is not the hotel for you.

Good stay, best part is the service.

Very convenient location to all the major tourist areas around Georgetown. The staff was amazing and very helpful, always there to help plan the day with recommendations and providing tips. The only downside was the WiFi was slow. Overall, excellent hotel.

Beautiful hotel, nice staff, but unfortunately it is not being maintained. Facilities are not i good condition (e g. Pool has hanging light), indoor sofa is moldy and stained, outdoor shutters are peeled off, doors don't close well, birds constantly inside the lobby entrance which from a cleanliness standing is not great Cleanliness of the rooms was subpar. Staff broke a perfume bottle while cleaning and did not report it - found out from left over glass shard and strong smell of perfume...). Such a shame as this hotel could be fantastic and the staff was nothing but helpful. However big investment needs to be made in upkeeping and training. Without this, i think it should be removed from the small luxury hotels group/website.
