Jeff Malaysia

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.

Matthew United States of America

Having the lounge available all the time was excellent and the staff were super friendly. The atomosphere of the hotel was great.

Alison Australia

Beautifully 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.

Gary United States of America

Lovely 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.

Everything!! 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.

It’s strategic location right in the heart of Georgetown - suitable for cafes / food hunters and people who loves to explore all the beautiful unique shops all around the city.
