The Edison George Town

I like the location. It's walking distance to UNESCO Georgetown. And there is a hawker center type food outlet just opposite with singers belting out Thai, mandarin and Cantonese numbers. Though it ends at 12 midnight. It's an old mansion converted into a boutique hotel. Not able to drop off at hotel, as gate is not opened. Reception is facing main door. Staffs are friendly and helpful. I stayed on the ground floor which is very convenient. The room is comfortable, though being an old mansion, the light switches are not the most convenient.There is no water kettle in room, hence a lounge that is opened 24 hours where there are hot water, drinks and snacks.. The sound insulation is not very good, can hear singing and noise from outdoor pool. Lucky not staying on 2nd floor as stairs is very narrow and tight. There is an outdoor pool which I did not manage to view.

Conveniently located, hospitable team. Love the wine hour.

It’s my jackpot day i guest. I got the cheapest price at Trip. Hotel was fabulous and staff all very friendly and nice. I love all bout this hotel. One of the luxury and historical hotel in Georgetown. Definitely will come back to stay at this hotel.

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.

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 !
