Beautiful old style colonial hotel located in UNESCO listed Georgetown. Great choice of food and beverage options and close to many diverse and nice eateries outside of the hotel. Highly recommended

Generally a decent hotel with great facilities and room size. Could have put more emphasis on small details like choice of light switches (looks white and very plain, not matching the vibe). One thing to note that if you book room on the victory annexe, you’re not able to use facilities (swimming pool and breakfast) at the heritage wing. But you got your own pool and breakfast location at Victory Annexe. Overall it’s still a great option at Penang!

The E&O is Georgetown's premier hotel. It offers travellers an elegant experience from a bygone era of travel. The suite in the victory annex was gorgeous and opened onto an ocean view with beautiful breezes. The breakfast and food were fantastic. The heritage pool is warmer and worth the walk into the older building. The only complaint concerns the mini fridge in the room, which was burned out and kept what would have been lovely cold drinks at a not-so-cold 36C. I reported the matter, and the electrician attended. There was the obligatory shrugging of the shoulders and the very nicely mumbled 'so sorry, no spare fridge' excuse given. Still, it is Malaysia, and you have to expect that. The place kind of works, but in a duct tape and held together with rope kind of way. This was consistent with the electrical wiring in the room, where I had to flick two or three switches to get the bathroom light over the bathroom mirror working. All part of the charm to be honest, as they say in Latin America, mañana (tomorrow). If you want a Singapore exprience, where everything works perfectly, then stay on the airplane for another 90 minutes down to Changi Airport at the other end of the Malacca Straits. I have to complement the General Manager Alison Fraser and her staff, they provide a great experience. I commend you to the E&O and would return without hesitation.
