Hotel staff were extremely helpful and found delightful ways to engage with us to help us plan our days. The building is a beautiful heritage mansion.
United States of AmericaHaving the lounge available all the time was excellent and the staff were super friendly. The atomosphere of the hotel was great.
AustraliaBeautifully restored, The Edison is an oasis located on the edge of the heritage section of Georgetown. The level of service provided by the staff was over the top. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
United States of AmericaLovely historic mansion - converted well. The staff at the Edison were exceptional- friendly and professional. Large rooms, good breakfast and all day snacks a bonus, though not sure why they need to offer instant noodles to guests when just outside the gate is some of the best food in the world.
New ZealandEverything!! It is beautiful, elegant and charming. So many little touches which elevate the experience. Wonderful helpful and friendly staff. Great location. Snack room is a great idea. Bed extremely comfortable. I even liked the loud Red Garden Asian Food market across the road - great, cheap food, much variety and fabulous entertainment (singers doing Western and Asian covers) - at times hilarious and good fun. The best boutique hotel I’ve ever stayed at.
United Arab EmiratesFantastic hotel in an old building in the historical center, nice pool, very nice common room with snacks and drinks at any time
FranceHelpful friendly staffs, beautiful and clean furnishings, great services, nice location.
ChinaBeautiful 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.
IndonesiaEverything 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!
