We enjoy the romance of the hotels history and architecture. It has a style and old world sophisticarion that we enjoy. We have been wanting to stay there since 1973 when we first travelled through Penang as backpackers.

The Location of E&O to Georgetown Historic Sites allows us to move around the different old and interesting sites within the Georgetown proper. It also is an easy access to the bars and food area. The staff were very accomodating and courteous and very helpful. I like that they provide fruits in your room everyday
The pool and gym is so small. They only have one treadmill

A deluxe experience, with a warm and personal staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and anticipate any needs. Staff were helpful and friendly in offering suggestions as to how to spend our time and where to eat outside the hotel for good local food.

Historical / heritage building in Georgetown.
The maintenance of the room could be better. Some things are worn out or not maintained well. The beats from the disco / nightclub below or nearby can be heard from the room. Spoilt the image of a reputable luxury hotel.

Location, old world charm.
Aircon was cold regardless of the setting chosen. Few Tv channels. Sarkies a la carte menu limited. Waiters not attentive.

Buffet breakfast no longer has sparkling wines and mineral waters available, nor is the range of foods (still great, though) as extensive.
