Stepping into The Edison felt like entering a beautifully preserved chapter of Penang’s colonial past. The mansion is full of character — elegant, tranquil, and tastefully restored. The location is superb, making it easy to explore George Town’s vibrant streets and hidden gems.
While the breakfast could be improved in terms of variety and presentation, the overall ambiance, architecture, and hospitality made the stay truly memorable. A charming retreat for those who appreciate heritage with a touch of luxury.

Service took centre-stage, Albert and his team were genuinely interested to ensure you were well taken care of. Charming old-world building of 35 rooms across 2 levels (note: no lift); excellent location though live performances from neighbouring establishments ran late past midnight which could bother some (not us though). Room was a tad dusty but again not something which bothered us too much. Appreciated the 24h lounge area, and how quiet and cooling the building is inside despite noise/weather outside.

Great staff and really lovely hotel.
if you're keen for something with some heritage but don't feel comfortable staying in a hotel that may give you the creeps, this hotel is perfect.
heritage + some neo-modern decor. enjoyed it very much.
breakfast was simple but sufficient. save your tummy for other yummy Penang food.
only complain is that the wifi was extremely choppy even though it was full bars. the team did a restart but the same issue persisted.
will come back for a stay.

Second stay of small luxury hotel and it make me want to stay more of a different small luxury hotel. The staff is so friendly and helpful while the room is big and wide as well. Not to mentioned they had lots of free snacks. So smackers this is a bonus !

Quaint and so lovely. Each staff was so diligent and helpful and always with a warm smile.
Second level is accessible via stairs but they have ground floor rooms.
Amenities include toiletries and there is no hot water for coffee/tea cos the lounge is equipped with snacks and hot/cold drinks.
Food is so accessible everywhere else so there is a simple and sufficient continental brekkie, even scrambled eggs if you like, and small packs of nasi lemak.
We have a lovely time. Thank you so much.
Only feedback is to change to bigger refillable shower/shampoo bottles.
Thanks so much team at the Edison!
Thanks for taking care of us :)
