We loved the historic element of the property. The location in Georgetown, Penang was also perfect. The best part of the stay was the excellent staff who offered many great suggestions for food and sightseeing and generally extended such wonderful hospitality.

A modern colonial boutique gem.
The Edison is a comfortable friendly boutique style hotel with a modern colonial vibe. Very well located in the heart of heritage Georgetown. Decor is elegant and understated. The real strength of the place though is the staff. Really nice service at all terms. Friendly and seemingly informal but ever helpful and anticipating needs, with nothing ever too much trouble. My stay was for 6 nights and it never faltered and if anything just kept on getting better. If you have mobility issues be sure to ask for a downstairs room as there are mo lifts. Only slight quibble was that wifi data rates were patchy. But overall it’s strongly recommended.

A true boutique hotel
The band across the street played loud music until 2330. The staff were amazingly wonderful and good. This is a true boutique hotel not to be confused with anything modern, but it was truly comfortable and charming.

The staff were attentive to our every need, from recommending local restaurants to booking a taxi to the airport. Unfortunately the noise levels just beyond us . There is singing club just across the street and will start @ 9:30 and last till 11:30 pm every night . Wi-Fi was patchy . If u need Wi-Fi , this is not the hotel for you.

Very convenient location to all the major tourist areas around Georgetown. The staff was amazing and very helpful, always there to help plan the day with recommendations and providing tips. The only downside was the WiFi was slow. Overall, excellent hotel.

Beautiful but complete lack of maintenance
Beautiful hotel, nice staff, but unfortunately it is not being maintained. Facilities are not i good condition (e g. Pool has hanging light), indoor sofa is moldy and stained, outdoor shutters are peeled off, doors don't close well, birds constantly inside the lobby entrance which from a cleanliness standing is not great Cleanliness of the rooms was subpar. Staff broke a perfume bottle while cleaning and did not report it - found out from left over glass shard and strong smell of perfume...). Such a shame as this hotel could be fantastic and the staff was nothing but helpful. However big investment needs to be made in upkeeping and training. Without this, i think it should be removed from the small luxury hotels group/website.

This is an absolute gem in Penang. It's a stunning converted mansion full of history and charm. Even better, it's a great location- we walked everywhere we wanted to get to within 25 minutes of the property. But the real amazing thing was the staff. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. They took time to sit down with us and create an itinerary to experience George Town in our short stay, had restaurant recommendations to experience local cuisine, and an amazing lounge with complimentary juices and snacks. It's easily one of the, if not the, best experiences I've had with hotel staff anywhere. If you're staying in Pengang, this is the place.

An excellent place to stay
The hotel is reasonably small so you get personal service. It is located in a convenient location for restaurants and an easy walk into town. The facilities were very good and the staff were extremely helpful. Nothing was too much effort. A great place to stay in an interesting town.
