Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
I like everything about the hotel from the moment I checked in till the day I checked out. The rooms, the whole hotel interior, the food, the restaurant ambience and name it all. The associate and the managers were well trained with high level of customer service, hospitality, great guest engagement and attention to details which are lacking in most hotels nowdays. Congratulations and keep it up! Definitely will return.
MalaysiaThe room was more than we bargained for, for the price we paid. Beautiful lounge area, loved the comfortable bed and the lavatory was the highlight of our stay. The bath tub was amazing (wished E&O could have provided bath bombs? Future plans perhaps?). Breakfast was good as well. Staffs were helpful as well. Free parking (at the multi level carpark) if you're a guest at E&O.
MalaysiaThe breakfast, room space and the location fabulous.
MalaysiaThe staff were exceptional, friendly & efficient. I had communication with the hotel prior to arrival and all my special requests for our 20th wedding anniversary had been dealt with. Although some parts are currently closed due to Covid-19 we did not feel like we missed out in any way. The pool was delightful and the room was spacious and cosy, as well as exceptionally comfortable.
MalaysiaStaff were wonderful! Room, pool, evening cocktails ambience, everything was top notch!
MalaysiaEverything were great. Good hospitality, the staffs were very friendly & helpful. No doubt I will definitely revisit.
MalaysiaNearby Spacious Beautiful ambiance Friendly and accomodating staffs
MalaysiaSpacious room with the breathtaking sea view. Super clean with comfortable bed. Infinity swimming pool looking at the straits has the amazing view. A lot of parking space. Stone away to the Georgetown attraction.
MalaysiaThe staff, room, facilities, amenities and service as well as location were great.
MalaysiaThe room was very Spacious.. We opted to upgrade to the ground floor Suite at a very nominal price. The front desk was highly responsive by checking the pricing on Booking.com and charging me the difference that was showing on the website though the initial price they had offered for the upgrade was higher. I just informed them that Booking.com showed a lower price and they obliged immediately to stick to that price
