"We stayed at The Edison in May 2026 and it was a wonderful stay. The hotel itself is beautiful and well maintained by the team. The rooms are well decorated with all you'll ever need, and the swimming pool / pool area serve as a lovely way to escape from the heat of Malaysia for a bit. Albert, the Operations Manager at the hotel, couldn't have been a better person. He was very accommodating throughout our stay, as well as providing us with local recommendations for food and finally organised our onwards transport from Georgetown to Thailand - he's a star. The overall hospitality was second to none and we look forward to returning."

"We had a wonderful stay at the Edison George Town, Penang! Albert and his colleagues were incredibly warm, personable, and attentive, making us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. We appreciated the hotel's relaxing atmosphere. The lounge was a lovely addition to our stay—we enjoyed stopping by for breakfast each morning, as well as for afternoon coffee, tea, and snacks. The hotel's convenient location also made it easy to explore the town, allowing us to walk to many of the places we wanted to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return in the future."

"This hotel is in the perfect location for a trip to Penang. It is a restored mansion so the detailing is beautiful and well kept. We spent time enjoying the lounge area, pool and amenities. The staff is so kind and welcoming, it was a perfect staycation in Penang!"

"I'd highly recommend The Edison. My daughter and I stayed there for 4 nights and would stay there again. The hotel is centrally located in Georgetown, walking distance or a short Grab ride to most things. The hotel is in a beautifully restored old mansion, with large rooms. The staff were exceptionally helpful and attentive, and the manager Albert was fantastic with all of his tips on where to eat, shop etc. There is a food place across the road with karaoke - the noise was ok though for my daughter, and I had already requested a room at the back for myself. The hotel was a lovely oasis from the bustle of Georgetown and the heat and we both very much enjoyed our stay there. The 24 hr reception, and lounge with snack bar was handy."

"There are a number of pluses for this property. Location is great for seeing the town and food. Bed was comfortable, room clean and high ceilings gave a sense of spaciousness which worked with the general colonial charm. Staff were excellent, and Albert in particular (whose dining recommendations we appreciated). The complimentary drinks and snacks were welcome after warm days out. Minuses were the noise from the venue opposite - even moving room towards the back of the hotel and having background noise in our room with earplugs couldn’t mask it. The loud music continued until 1am for all 4 nights we were there. Light sleepers who go to bed ‘early’ beware. We thought the decor and linen were in need of refreshing with paint bubbling on the walls, fraying towels and aircon needing to be restarted a few times daily with error message to clean the filter. Overall not a bad stay, but if returning would try elsewhere."
