Eastern & Oriental Hotel
Co mówią goście
It is an amazing hotel and great location for exploring Georgetown. The breakfast is out of this world and staff in the dining area could not be more helpful and welcoming.

The hotel itself is a historical building. Its gallery details the history of the hotel from the beginning up to now with lots of photos and interesting exhibits. The location of hotel is perfect , especially if this is your first trip to Penang, because the most popular sightseeing spots and famous local food stalls are nearby. The hotel breakfast is abundant and fresh with both Malay and western food and fruit.

We loved everything about the E&O - it’s now my favourite hotel of all time! The level of service from every member of staff is outstanding and the hotel itself is so beautiful. We stayed in the Heritage Wing with a seaview room and it was perfect in every way. Breakfast in Sarkies was superb and evening drinks and canapés was really sociable with lovely food and drunks. Farquhar’s Bar was also great and we loved sitting outside in the evening after dinner.

The decor and ambience of the hotel. The breakfast buffet. The location was convenient

Waking up on the first morning and viewing from the bed the sun rising on the sea and then able to walk out onto your own balcony and see the great expanse of the ocean. The bathroom was huge and generous in its fit-out. The whole room quietly spoke of a pared back design that still messaged good style and relaxed living. I didn't just "like" this hotel - I loved it.

This iconic hotel of the “Far East” continues in its traditions. Founded in 1885, it was one of a trio of famous venues which included the Raffles Hotel in Singapore in 1887 and the Strand Hotel in Rangoon, Burma, in 1901. To jog your memory the Singapore Sling was first served (i.e. Invented) at the Raffles. The current iteration of E & O includes the “Heritage” Wing with multiple renovations, designed in the manner of the 1920’s. There is a new section, (Not part of the original) The “Victory wing” which is a multi-story unit. The Heritage wing is more expensive and consists of commodious suites and includes amenities that come with your room, breakfast and evening cocktails and snacks. There is access to a pool reserved for Heritage guests only. The Heritage wing was reopened in 2019, the suites range in size from 58 m2 to a massive 522 m2 with a dining room and butler service. None of this comes at a cheap price, but this is a historic venue and a provides a trip through yesteryear. Worth the stay for those interested in Southeast Asia history. Location is ideal, along the waterfront with easy access to the central George Town and to numerous shops and restaurants. The staff is well-informed and always helpful. The SPA and gym are highly recommended, the view during your workout of the waterfront cannot be beat. There are various dining options, the buffet in the Victory wing offers a massive number of choices, but is very busy and a bit chaotic. I opted for a quiet a la carte dinner at the “Java Tree” having an excellent fish dinner topped off with perfectly made at tableside crepe Suzette. As to be expected, excellent water pressure (Both tub and shower), high functioning Wi-Fi, with in room beverages that are refreshed daily at no extra cost. The daily paper is delivered to your door. Finally, the very helpful hotel staff arranged for an excellent English-speaking taxi driver for exploring George Town.

The location was amazing especially the view from our room. The room was incredibly comfortable and I cannot think if anything that it was missing. It was absolutely perfect. The pool in particular was unsurpassed in anything I have experienced. I could have stayed there all day. The breakfast were superb and I cannot think of anything that could have made them better. I will definitely be recommending this hotel to my friends.

Nice traditional but well maintained hotel. Very charming decor and antiques. Magnificent marble in the bathrooms. Upgrade to sea view was reasonable and lovely room. Room service was good quality, fast and cheap. Maybe some pasta and more Asian choices would be good. Restaurant menus also were excellent and tasty. We ate the fine dining in the coffee shop as more patrons and better atmosphere but the food came from same area so still excellent.

The room was very spacious and nice, well furnished. It had a balcony and good sea views. Breakfast was also good, as expected in this kind of hotel: wide variety of good quality Eastern and Western options. Nice breakfast buffet. The gym was well equipped with different cardio machines (2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, 1 bike) and a good range of dumbbells, I only missed a cable machine for rows :-) Swimming pool is long enough for laps and the setup is really beautiful looking to the sea. It was busier than the gym (empty the two times I used it), and we were unable to get lounge chairs by the pool all taken, so we had to sit by the bar tables. The hotel was within walking distance from all the must see and must eat in George Town which is enough to keep you busy on a weekend (the duration of our stay). Overall we had a very confortable stay.

Our stay was an experience. A feeling of being welcomed, pampered and wanted. Food was wonderful. When faced with a minor crisis Alison Fraser (hotel General Manager) was there and supported us. We are very grateful. Alison practises ‘management by walking around.’ We bumped into her six times during our stay with only one time being an organised event. The room was beautiful and Georgetown (and its food) easily within reach.
