10 Farquhar Street, Georgetown, 10200 George Town, Malaysia –

Lock in a great price for Eastern & Oriental Hotel - rated 9.1 by recent guests.

to get started.

Old fashioned style and elegance, great breakfast.

Gary, United Kingdom

The buffet was extensive but incredibly noisy and busy. Breakfast had great variety - but no pork. Excellent meal at the 6th floor restaurant. I highly reccommed this Location was good, at the edge of the Heritage centre.

Anthony, Spain

The breakfast was badly organised. Staff were too anxious to clear away plates, even when customers hadn't finished their meal.

Christopher, United Kingdom

everything---the building, the private seafront, the balcony, the room with a view, the room with the ocean singing, the marvelous complimentary mini bar, the complimentary cocktail, the wonderful breakfast with fantastic ocean view, the birds that tried to share my food (^^), the spacious room with two sinks, and a big tub. The friendly staff with efficient service when I asked for a reading lamp and to relocate the position of the reading table.

Lovely hotel , stayed in heritage wing. Grat old fashioned feel .Ocean view. Great place to chill out for a few days. An oasis of peace and quiet after walking round Georgetown

Ian, Australia

THE best hotel in Penang, without a doubt. 5 star accommodation (with a 5 star price tag of course). There is no equivalent to the Eastern and Oriental. Five restaurants to choose from. The included breakfast is a sight to behold - dozens and dozens of options. After a breakfast here you won't want to eat for days! Just stay here.

Craigm, Australia

Setting. Room opening onto lawn and sea wall Size of room. Friendliness of staff. Breakfast location overlooking water

Russell, Australia

This is a superb hotel. If you stay in the Victory Annex you get free drinks and snack in the afternoon. The rooms and bathrooms are huge. If you can get a balcony overlooking the sea it's even better.

Francis, United Kingdom
