Beautiful colonial facade with long history, but very disappointed with the service levels in this hotel. When I entered the lobby, the staff were not serving other customers but continued chatting among themselves nonetheless. Their first remark to me was "passport please". The rooms are big and clean but with ersatz colonial era furniture. The long hallways leading to the... more

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. 3 nights in Gorge town here before 3 nights in Batu F. Very nice - and with kids - very accomodating. Beautiful pool. Good value at about 400 Rm a night and room was ample size to fit an extra bed for the 2 kids. Loved it more

From the moment we arrived in reception my wife and I felt we had arrived at somewhere special. We were transported back to the days of colonial Penang. The hotel is magnificent, from the public rooms, the leisure areas through to the accommodation. The staff are, all without exception, most helpful and wait on ones every needs in the friendliest... more

If your budget allows it you must stay here, if not blow the budget and still stay here! We had two nights here and it was not long enough!! Everything from the moment we arrived was perfect, from the check-in, the fabulous suite, the food in both restaurants and also in Farquhars Bar. The pool was excellent, very peaceful with... more

Everything is just perfect about this hotel. We were give cold towels and drinks (fruit punch) upon arrival. I loved the dome right in the middle of the lobby. We were given a fantastic room with the sea and pool view. Unfortunately, it was a twin-bed room, not a king-bed room as we have requested in the online reservation form.... more

What a fantastic hotel. We arrived on a Monday and were greeted with cold towels and fruit punch, check-in was superb, we just sat and relaxed whilst the staff completed the necessary paperwork. The receptionist took us to our suite numer 207, which was stunning. It consisted of a large lounge area with sofa and chair, desk, tv, minibar etc,... more

The Eastern & Oriental is the perfect place to relax after a hot and sweaty day sightseeing in Penang. Both built by the Sarkies Brothers, it’s no surprise that the E&O looks just like Singapore’s famous Raffles Hotel. Well we live in Singapore but unfortunately, at SGD640 a night we won’t be staying at Raffles any time soon. The E&O,... more

We stayed for 3 nights at the end of April. This is a beautiful hotel. The staff were very welcoming with cold flannels and drinks as we checked in. Our large room was really a suite with sitting room and bedroom, lovely dark wood floors and shutters and ceiling fan. The 2 3/4 beds (had booked a king size!) were... more

Brilliant hotel in a great position in Georgetown. The room we had was great, on the ground floor with direct access to the pool area. We had no problems with the hotel, and the staff were courteous and friendly throughout our stay. Pool area is nice and a good place for the kids. There isn’t a beach at the hotel,... more
