Great hotel. Rooms are spacious, well appointed, great pool and amazing breakfast. What was lacking was the ability of the front desk staff to provide good restaurant suggestions. There should be a list that the hotel provides with suggestions. I would definitely recommend the Eastern and Oriental Hotel and would stay there again.

We have stayed at the E and O three times over the past 20 years. I love this hotel! Its old colonial flavour sits well with me. The new part is lovely too but this time we stayed in the Heritage wing which will always be my favourite. Our room 010 which had a separate lounge and twin bedded room, opened up to the grass area a few steps from that gorgeous pool. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was amazing. This hotel is full of old world charm. Always will be highly recommended. Hope to keep returning as the years progress.

Staff were welcoming and helpful. Standout lady was Kha Mun, efficient and remembered details about us ( hopefully because we were nice! ), fun and so professional. Room in the heritage wing was great, spacious and old style which we prefer to modern rooms which lack character. Bottled water provided daily, complimentary mini bar and wine on arrival. Loved the daily offerings of canapés and a drink between 6pm and 7pm. Such lovely tasty nibbles and we looked forward to it each day. Pool was quiet and well maintained with comfortable sun loungers and iced water on offer. Breakfast was a gentle start to the day, no mobile phone conversations allowed which was fab as some people just talk so loudly and interrupt the ambience. Lovely coffee. Attentive staff. Exemplary. A great hotel.
