We loved staying here, and the location was perfect, right across from the Blue Mansion. The open snack bar and breakfast were excellent as well. The building itself is beautiful and, as a historic property, it may not have all the newest features, but it has so much character and charm. The best part of our stay was definitely the staff. They made us feel like family, and everyone was incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our visit. We were very sad to leave the hotel!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel looks nice but it’s a bit worn out, especially inside the room I noticed a few broken things and the overall quality didn’t seem great. It was a pleasant stay overall.

Great hotel in a great location. Staff were wonderful and made us very welcome. Lots of great ideas of things to do. Noise from hawker market opposite was very loud but the ear plugs helped massively. Probably nicest hotel in Georgetown from what we saw.

Beautiful small hotel in the centre of Georgetown. Super relaxed / at home vibe when staying there, and the building is very interesting.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff at the Edison were superb, and its location, in historic George Town, is excellent. However, despite being a member of "Small Luxury Hotels of the World", it is not a luxury hotel: it is a decent 'heritage' hotel, but it would need a lot of detailed improvements to earn the cachet of 'luxury'. Nevertheless, it is a decent hotel and the staff are outstanding.

Loved the whole old work vibes of the Edison. A wonderful oasis, with large well appointed rooms that feel lux in an understated way. Great bathroom, comfy bed. The hospitality of every one of their staff was outstanding. Had some great food recommendations from Albert. Loved the all day lounge where you could grab a drink or a snack and the we one hour where as a solo traveler I got to meet so many wonderful people. Overall, an excellent experience.

Great hotel with a lot of history. Amazingly helpful staff. However if walking up stairs is an issue for you then maybe not stay here - no lift although there are ground floor rooms

This hotel is an excellent choice!

This is a beautiful,1906 hotel that has been maintained its historic floors, metal post and iron works, and general appearance. The breakfast was nice and the lounge was open with drinks and snacks all day. The people were very helpful and did their best to make our stay happy! We recommend it!

A true boutique hotel

The band across the street played loud music until 2330. The staff were amazingly wonderful and good. This is a true boutique hotel not to be confused with anything modern, but it was truly comfortable and charming.
