We had a wonderful stay at the E&O hotel, the surroundings were lovely and it had such an old school luxury charm. All dining areas were lovely and the club lounge for cocktail hour added something extra special. Thank you for a wonderful stay and I would recommend this to anyone who would like to stay in a hotel with such history and good service.

This hotel is truly 5 stars 🌟 Our suite room was gorgeous and so spacious. We were overlooking the sea in the heritage section of the building. Everything you need for a great stay, even our mini bar items were free ! Also had access to lounge for tea/coffee throughout the day and drinks & snacks between 6 & 7 pm. We had breakfast in Planters as it was quieter than than Sarkies and a beautiful view from the outside. We will definitely stay there again.

It is not clear on Expedia that we were not booked in the hotel advertised. There is a new wing called 'Victory Tower' that we had to stay in. The old hotel front desk staff were dismissive and no help. The new tower manager was very helpful and although he couldn't put us in the old hotel as advertised he did upgrade our room and give us access to the amenities of the 'old hotel'.

Might have been the BEST Hotel we have ever stayed at in the World. And we have been to a few. In fact, after our two stays there; during back and forth Cruise overnights - we sat down later and tried to figure out if there were any better?? It took a while to even come up with a couple of our favs’. And We have had some Grand Ones, but the E & O; we can easily count on, with only two or three fingers. Views spectacular. Ultra clean and safe. Quiet and Relaxed. Rooms fit for Queens and Kings. Excellent location - with short walks to some cool Markets and reasonably priced Night Time eats. Red Garden Food Paradise, close by gets top marks. And the breakfast buffet at the hotel is unparalleled / unbeatable for quality, selection, friendliness, service and tastebuds. Definitely the best buffet breakfast in the World, bar none! And the best of all was the Very Friendly / Courteous Staff. Professionals in every aspect. Top that off with an excellent local driver, that we still correspond with daily - and E & O and Penang has easily become one of our favorite destinations. So wish to return/visit again. Very well done. Thanks to ALL. We will never forget You. Your Beautiful Place and People - are the Real Deal.
