"It stands out not only as a Landmark of Penang Island but also as a trademark of great service, fabulous food and a great location. The people at the hotel are extremely professional. Breakfast is yummy and rooms are amazing. We will be back."

"We had visited Raffles in Singapore a couple of years ago, so wanted to stay at their 'sister hotel'. The location is great, a short walk from the town, or when it was very hot and humid a quick grab ride to most places. The hotel is very good, with lovely architecture, though there are signs of a lack of quality / maintenance in some small areas (e.g. ceilings). Food options are good and plentiful, with a great buffet breakfast. A great option, but it is no raffles (but then probably nowhere is)."

"I’ve stayed in many hotels before, but this one felt so unique & incredible. I was lucky enough to stay in the Deluxe Suite, in the Heritage Wing, and everything was fantastic. The hotel itself is grand and has a lot of history. There’s everything you need here - two beautiful pools, several restaurants to choose from, and stunning views over the sea. Truly a luxurious stay when you’re in George Town!"

"The E&O Hotel is the best hotel we have stayed in and we hope to return. We stayed in the Heritage Wing in a suite, so we had the extras that come with that - drinks and canapes at 6pm, use of the Heritage wing pool, free mini bar and a bottle of wine in room etc. You also have access to Victory wing. The pool area is small but we were lucky to get a sun lounger when we did go down. The hotel is beautifully decorated. The bed was large and very comfy. The suite we had looked over the water and was very comfy. We enjoyed some cocktails in the Farquhar's bar on two evenings. The breakfast was included which was a little limited for vegans but we were able to ask for oat milk and the hot option was good. The members of staff were polite and helpful. We didn't use the restaurants on site but ventured out and had some great vegan food. George Town is a very foodie place. We had a look around the Victory wing on our last morning and thought the pool area was really nice and some of the higher rooms would have a lovely view and would consider staying in that part as well."

"Having just stayed in the E&O for the first time after ten years of visiting Georgetown we booked the victory wing so we chose to roam around the town at night for dinner. We were very pleased with our choice , the room was great and breakfast was faultless. Evening drinks in Sarkies was lovely, we have no complaints about this hotel and as we return annually we think we will return as we completely enjoyed our stay thank you E&O"
