It was very pleasant and I will stay there again.
Pros:

The hotel serves continental breakfast, however they are happy to make eggs for the guests. The offerings were more than what we expected or needed.
Location was great. The greatest assets to thus hotel is not just its history, it is the staff. Lingish, Chris, Bryan, Albert, El Lynn and all others were exceptionally good.

Cons:

Linens and bath robes were clearly frayed and looked very old and should be changed. While it did not bother me it may be an issue for others. I would recommend the hotel to do this minor improvement.

Gorgeous place, could be great with some small changes
Pros:

Beautiful property, well located, comfortable beds.

Cons:

The pool wasn’t clean on the day I swam in it, very green and cloudy. I also think the lack of a bar or any kind of purchasable items was a bit disappointing as I’d have liked to spend more time in the beautiful surroundings.

Pros:

Well located in downtown George Town. Nicely renovated building, airconditioned where needs be.

Cons:

No invoice provided at checkout. First time ever I experience a Hilton affiliated hotel refusing to provide an invoice because the booking was through Booking.com instead of their own website. If providing an invoice is so much trouble for you, stop advertising hotel space through booking.com.

Pros:

Love being able to stay at a property with beautiful architecture and full of history. We love the lounge area where all the guests meet for breakfast, tea or coffee and mingle with one another. It’s cosy and comfortable. I would like to commend Albert Tan, the operations manager for his many recommendations, making our visit to Penang very fruitful.

Cons:

The rooms were not completely comfortable as air conditioning is noisy. Place also is not convenient for those less able.

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.

Pros:

The lounge is open 24/7! Staff are lovely and helpful. Very personable and hospitable. My partner and I have been staying only at The Edison each time we visit Penang and we will not consider anywhere else!

Cons:

The beer garden across is rather noisy but they stop their ravelling at midnight so that is a good thing!
