超級棒的一晚住宿
如果想要體驗檳城文化遺產酒店，我會首先推薦這家。價格比藍屋和東家酒店便宜，小巧精緻，房間很大，整個酒店是一個獨棟的mansion，190年的歷史。工作人員的服務也是滿分，會帶住客簡單講解所有的amenities。還有24小時免費的小lounge，性價比拉滿！

Stepping into The Edison felt like entering a beautifully preserved chapter of Penang’s colonial past. The mansion is full of character — elegant, tranquil, and tastefully restored. The location is superb, making it easy to explore George Town’s vibrant streets and hidden gems.
While the breakfast could be improved in terms of variety and presentation, the overall ambiance, architecture, and hospitality made the stay truly memorable. A charming retreat for those who appreciate heritage with a touch of luxury.

Service took centre-stage, Albert and his team were genuinely interested to ensure you were well taken care of. Charming old-world building of 35 rooms across 2 levels (note: no lift); excellent location though live performances from neighbouring establishments ran late past midnight which could bother some (not us though). Room was a tad dusty but again not something which bothered us too much. Appreciated the 24h lounge area, and how quiet and cooling the building is inside despite noise/weather outside.

Great staff and really lovely hotel.
if you're keen for something with some heritage but don't feel comfortable staying in a hotel that may give you the creeps, this hotel is perfect.
heritage + some neo-modern decor. enjoyed it very much.
breakfast was simple but sufficient. save your tummy for other yummy Penang food.
only complain is that the wifi was extremely choppy even though it was full bars. the team did a restart but the same issue persisted.
will come back for a stay.
