Easily accessable to anywhere in Geogetown. House keeping service us excellent. Breakfast choices are abundant. Swimming pool area is fully self service. This is an area that could be improved, at least with provision of water or ice water, etc.

We stayed in the Heritage wing which has a charm all of its own. The room layout was lovely, however, the bathroom seems due for an update. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the food in the Palm Court restaurant and the bar was very good. The Cornwallis was a treasure, a lounge where you can cool down and relax with a complimentary drink.

Could do a lot better

This is a satisfactory hotel but not 5*. It obviously was a very grand hotel in its day but needs renovated to bring it up to those former standards. The location overlooks the sea but it is not a good view! The saviour for us was Nagesh at reception who was extremely friendly and helpful. The other member of staff was Lillian in the bar area who was a ray of positivity and excellent service. The food at breakfast had lots of options but the quality should be better. Those hot dishes being offered where often cold and are not being kept at the right temperature. The suite we had was of a good size and a wonderful power shower....which we loved. The toiletries where also of a good standard. The television must be one of the smallest I have ever encountered on my travels and certainly should not be a suite. Overall I think there are better hotels to be had for the money being charged.

We had a wonderful stay at the E&O hotel, the surroundings were lovely and it had such an old school luxury charm. All dining areas were lovely and the club lounge for cocktail hour added something extra special. Thank you for a wonderful stay and I would recommend this to anyone who would like to stay in a hotel with such history and good service.

A good choice for Penang

Great iconic hotel - good value overall - we stayed in the Victory wing and the rooms are spacious and we preferred to the heritage section. Service was polite, not overbearing and the hotel had a nice relaxed feel. Lovely infinity pool. Breakfast catered adequately fif every taste.
