The Edison is a comfortable friendly boutique style hotel with a modern colonial vibe. Very well located in the heart of heritage Georgetown. Decor is elegant and understated. The real strength of the place though is the staff. Really nice service at all terms. Friendly and seemingly informal but ever helpful and anticipating needs, with nothing ever too much trouble. My stay was for 6 nights and it never faltered and if anything just kept on getting better. If you have mobility issues be sure to ask for a downstairs room as there are mo lifts. Only slight quibble was that wifi data rates were patchy. But overall it’s strongly recommended.

Beautiful hotel, nice staff, but unfortunately it is not being maintained. Facilities are not i good condition (e g. Pool has hanging light), indoor sofa is moldy and stained, outdoor shutters are peeled off, doors don't close well, birds constantly inside the lobby entrance which from a cleanliness standing is not great Cleanliness of the rooms was subpar. Staff broke a perfume bottle while cleaning and did not report it - found out from left over glass shard and strong smell of perfume...). Such a shame as this hotel could be fantastic and the staff was nothing but helpful. However big investment needs to be made in upkeeping and training. Without this, i think it should be removed from the small luxury hotels group/website.

This is an absolute gem in Penang. It's a stunning converted mansion full of history and charm. Even better, it's a great location- we walked everywhere we wanted to get to within 25 minutes of the property. But the real amazing thing was the staff. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. They took time to sit down with us and create an itinerary to experience George Town in our short stay, had restaurant recommendations to experience local cuisine, and an amazing lounge with complimentary juices and snacks. It's easily one of the, if not the, best experiences I've had with hotel staff anywhere. If you're staying in Pengang, this is the place.
