15 Lebuh Leith, 10200 George Town, Malaysia –

Lock in a great price for The Edison George Town – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Fantastic hotel in an old building in the historical center, nice pool, very nice common room with snacks and drinks at any time

Mael, France

Helpful friendly staffs, beautiful and clean furnishings, great services, nice location.

Ling, China

Beautiful building. Very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast and great to have free wine and cheese in the evening! Central location so really easy to explore Georgetown and the rest of the island. It's a lovely hotel and I'd recommend anyone to stay here.

Chris, Indonesia

Everything especially the gracious, attentive staff, the relaxing atmosphere, easy to walk to sightseeing and restaurants etc. We did not actually use the pool hence the neutral smiley!

Dotty, Canada

Bedding was very comfortable, room was well-furnished, and the staff were very enthusiastic about offering us food, help with local sights and dining spots, and ensuring that we were taken care of. The location of the place was also great for being close to many of the Georgetown sights.

Emily, Singapore

Everything about the hotel. Super friendly and helpful staffs. Great breakfast and 24 lounge. A pool. A library. Best location.

Sirima, Thailand

The location, the ambiance, the service, the facilities, the room, the staff. All very good!

Yulia, Indonesia

Loved the lounge which was always accessible - lovely staff super location (near to Red Garden!)

Samantha, United Kingdom

The property is beautiful. The location is perfect and the staff is just remarkable. Always able and willing to help. Always smiling. Make you feel welcome, wanted and at home. It is clear the Edison is a very well managed place. The 24/7 complementary services such as coffee and tea, water, beverages, fruits and snacks are an additional plus. Highly recommended.

Elena, Italy

The very attentive staff at front desk and hotel door are the best we have met in all of our travels. The room was big and we could sleep comfortably with two single beds pulled together. The free snacks were too good to be true 😍

“Up and down.”
- • Leisure trip

Our a/c was rubbish and they refused to provide a fan because it would not match the decor. The wifi was spotty. Communal areas were really hot (apart from lounge) and our room too so we had little respite from the heat. I left a huge pile of papers behind by accident and though I called to ask if they had found anything and left the number of my next hotel they said they found nothing. A week later, when I was no longer in Penang and had had to have all my printing redone they emailed to say they had found it. I was disappointed.
Beautiful place. Super staff and excellent lounge area with free drinks and snacks. They gave us a pocket wifi which was great.

Booked the suite and aircon was noisy and didn’t work Very noisy in the evenings from 9pm-midnight with live singing from across the road, especially in the suite and front rooms Not very child friendly. No extra beds for toddlers and other guests telling off children for making noise every evening No fridges in rooms Leaky aircon Needing to constantly remind staff to look at aircon or makeup rooms. No one came after making several requests.

Not much we didn't like, except that the wifi was rather slow throughout the stay.
Friendliest, helpful, and most accommodating staff I've encountered at a boutique hotel. They helped us with whatever we needed, from directions, to recommendations, to making our stay as comfortable as possible. Loved the modern style of the rooms and the comfort of the king beds. The 24-hour lounge made our experience feel exclusive which is unexpected in a small hotel. The breakfast is basic but good enough to refuel before a long day exploring Penang.
