"Excellent hotel in a historic building. Amenities are great and a bit quirky (see how they bring the luggage to the upstairs rooms). Staff is very nice. The Italian hotel on premise is Michelin listed."

Plenty of gorgeous historic boutique hotels in Georgetown but this one makes an enormous effort on service and, while not without some bumps, it shows. A few room quirks: surprisingly only 2 or 3 TV stations, with no English news. Yes, you are not here to watch TV but... AC is rather loud. The hotel is above Il Bacaro Italian restaurant--a very good place. Breakfast there (Il Bacaro, complimentary with hotel stay) offers many options, fresh and homemade.

If you’re staying in Georgetown Penang, it really is a no brainer to stay at the E&O. One of the most unique stays you can find in Malaysia, offering a classical old world luxury, making you feel like a British governor from the 1800s. Being quite centrally located, you can opt to Grab to all the popular Penang foodie locations for cheap, or better yet, just Grab/FoodPanda delivery whatever you’re craving for.
Having stayed at Shangri-La Rasa Sayang as well during my recent trip to Penang...

The experience was so welcoming the moment I step into the hotel. The lobby is so elegantly designed and look so grand. The front desk staffs Buva and Kavitha were so friendly and helpful. Rooms are super classy with Victorian feel. Beds are really comfortable. Had a really superb stay. Will definitely come back again.
