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 :)

The century-old building in George Town has poor sound insulation. The facilities are not complete, but the service is very good. The scenic spots and restaurants introduced by the hotel staff are all delicious.

The location is diagonally opposite Penang Blue House. It is in a key location. It is understandable that the cost is not affordable. However, the room is really too small. I went to bed three steps after opening the door for the first time. Although the bathroom is larger than usual and clean and fresh, there is only one transparent The bright window is behind the bathroom mirror, which I believe faces the swimming pool. It cannot be opened, but the sound of children playing noisily can be heard! Personally, I have always disliked windowless hotel rooms. … What is commendable is that there is a 24-hour lounge for residents, where you can enjoy simple drinks and snacks, and a glass of red and white table wine is given at 6pm! In addition, the staff are very enthusiastic to help, no matter introducing the environment, or recommending nearby attractions and restaurants! Thank you so much!
