With so many good reviews about this hotel, I, without hesistation, booked my stay here for 23 to 26 Dec 2007 (Christmas holidays) four months early. From the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby, I was amazed by the interior design of the hotel. This is a very beautiful hotel; everything here seemingly arranged and designed to please our...

From the moment you enter and are greeted with a cooling cocktail while your booking is processed, this hotel envelopes you with calm away from the busy streets of Georgetown. The history of the hotel is reason alone to stay there - (see Google) The rooms are tastefully and comfortably furnished and the bathroom is wonderful with two wash basins,... More

Very attractive white colonial style hotel overlooking the sea. Great rooms and bathroom with separate shower cubicle and good quality toiletry products. Outstanding buffet breakfast: Probably one of the best we've ever experienced. Nice pool with plenty of good quality sunbeds overlooking the sea. Wasn't impressed by the service however, which although not bad wasn't good either. For example, when... More

We stayed at the E&O from 27 December to January 1 2008. It is in a great location, with a constantly changing panorama of shipping - container, naval, ferry and fishing boats of all shapes and sizes. It well placed to walk to the historical sites in Georgetown and to reach shopping centres, if they are on your list. Our... More

Arrived at the hotel late at night , but check in was simple and quick the duty manager even offered to keep the restaurant open so that we could have some food, but we opted for room service instead. Rooms are huge and the bathrooms are something else, the seating area was large , sofa , chair, large desk ,... More

The hotel is great and the rooms are huge. The business facilities in this hotel is bad. It would be great if I can use free wifi while sitting at the seafront! But I have to pay for the wifi access which is only available within the proximity of my room. The breakfast is good while the butlers are good... More

The services was surprisingly poor for such a highly rated hotel. We were there for 3 nights. They could find only one of our reservations, we had reserved 2 adjacent rooms as we are a family of four. Took a while to find the other room. When asked why we could not have adjacent rooms, they told us that we... More

The E&O is a beautiful hotel with an air of faded colonial glory. The rooms are enormous, clean and tastefully furnished. The pool area is elegant & relaxing although the sea next to it looked dirty and smelly (there is no beach area here). The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel is in a fantastic location. The... More

The Eastern and Oriental, on par with Raffles and very much better than the Strand, Rangoon is the reborn child of the Sarkies brothers who amazingly founded all these fine hotels in the 1890´s. We stayed in the Rudyard Kipling suite which by far was the best rooms we ever stayed in. At the internetrates we got, also one of... More
