Eastern & Oriental Hotel

Ok

Pillows hard

The "E&O" Hertage Wing is a colonial gem. Beautiful restored to its Victorian glory it is a truly first class experience. Our Corner Suite had a "Butler Service" and the room was so comfortable: living room, bedroom, and huge bathroom. Original fittings and a gorgeous sea view. Peaceful, classy and a slice of history. The service was impeccable and the quality of food in the "Palm Court" room was outstanding - try the Eggs Benedict! Unhurried but prompt, never overbearing, served with attention and style. This is an experience that so few hotels in the world know how to do. Oh, and for a British person, it is delightful that they know how to make a great cup of English Tea! Served in a teapot with proper fresh milk (!) The swimming pool is idyllic and late-afternoon wine and canapes in the "Cornwallis Room" are very popular. LOve this hotel!

Arriving early at the pool, I found the attendant was a bit grumpy.

Everyone needs to come here once in their lifetime. This was superb luxury at an affordable price. The room was massive, with two sinks, a bath and a large shower. The view from our balcony was amazing with city lights and ocean view. Buffet breakfast was the best I've ever had, with large selections of food and drink to choose from. Do youself a favour and stay here!

Nothing!

I enjoyed the spacious room, it was clean, modern and very warm and welcoming. Breakfast was pleasant with a very big variety of choices, along with dining experiences, the staff were wonderful, attentive and very prompt this was my favourite part of the hotel was the incredible staff. Hotel location is quite scenic and relaxing. Overall I would stay here again if I was to visit Penang.

The coffee could've been better, was not barista made although they tried.
