The Eastern & Oriental Hotel is the embodiment of both a special time and a special place. For well over a century, this remarkable hotel - known simply as `The E&O' to generations of travellers - has stood as a testament to the grand elegance of the British colonial era.

This iconic hotel offers grand views of the coast in its newer and taller Victory Wing. Free yoga , evening wine & canapés, all day tea and coffee etc, u will be spoilt. Suites also worth the splurge.
If you are looking for hotel with state-of-the-art tech, or extremely flawless service, this is not for you. It is for you if you like theme hotels , plus it is one of the best in Penang.
If staying at Victory Anexe you have a choice of two breakfasts : light continental on the 6th floor or full buffet in Sarkies. Go for Sarkies in the morning and take your evening cocktail on 6th.
The plus: iconic hotel , spacious rooms , comfortable bedding , good service , yummy CKT (b’fast buffet ). The lows: dated (not the style), far from spotless, missing a certain charm, feels barebone/basic
Take the complimentary yoga class every morning 8:30-9:30 (check with reception beforehand). Consider how much a yoga class costs these days; plus it can only do you good.
Spacious , beautiful old-world style hotel with nice amenities . Love the balconies . Check to see which wing you are in!
Been here on several occasions. I love the old colonial style of the hotel . Service is good. The new wing rooms are still relatively new and is quite spacious .
I found it Very classy & 5 star service hotel with friendly staff to assist us all the time. It was beyond our expectations & We would strongly recommend this hotel to our friends too..
Nice rooms, especially huge on the heritage side. Lovely breakfast , get the noodles it’s the best!
A very pleasant, hulled place to relax and try their Teh Tarik . The staff is very friendly and accommodating!!!
Must try 1885, definitely worth for money although it's about pricy . Love all the rooms decoration and facilities. Love it !
Very nice hotel with superb view.Great buffet lunch and value for money .Functiom ballroom is big,comfortable and nice.
Hotel with a scenic view . Nice place for a high tea . Pretty pricey but worth it.
This grand hotel has similar style as Raffles Hotel in Singapore, dig in a bit history then you will know why.
Absolutely amazing hotel in the heart of George Town. Colonial architecture coupled with great service by the staff .
Venue rooms, good view . We didn't stay so can't comment on the rooms but looking at the lobby and facilities it looks like they have nice rooms to stay too.

Spotty wifi but it's free! Works best in morning when hotel guests are still asleep. Good enough to check out apps though, so search and download "EasyConvo" on the app stores!
This hotel provides great customer service, magnificent view from the room, nice room concept, and great facilities. Overall, it's great. Good job.
This historical hotel , with amazing view . You are feel in 19th century.
Classic and full of heritage. Most of their room (all suite) are sea facing. Highly recommended.
First impression when entering the hotel is like I'm in the Raffles Hotel in Singapore! A very historical building !
The Victory Annexe is stunning! The decor is brilliant. The free food and drinks in the Planters Lounge is great!
..'bein' here is like you'd in colonial era..with awesome services and food dishes..one of few best hotels in penang aside shang'!..
Their tiramisu and cheese cake is a must-try! New variety of desserts ! Oh, their char koay teow is surprisingly good! :)
Lovely hotel - view , food and service.
Good happy hour rates at Farquhar bar from 3-7pm. Decent alcohol selection too.
Breakfast buffet not great, dim sum feel like having dim sum in Thailand? Coffee made of cheap beans. Don't compare it to Mandarin Oriental of BKK.
It a peaceful hotel . Really enjoyable stay. Lots of history.
Beautiful hotel design. Good environment. The room is not very spacious . Quite tight with everything fit in. The tea taste average. But lot of variety.
The rooftop pool is awesome ❤️????????
An outstanding colonial c1885 hotel of a bye gone era with cool classic ambience. Great pool!
Dinner buffet is better than lunch . Great choices and service.
Living in a heritage building. Everything is just nostalgia.
Stay in the old colonial section feels like another world rather than the modern wing.
The most classic hotel in Penang with good food????
Currently this is best hotel that I ever stayed #oldenglish #classic
DIY colorful pancake with chocolate and vanilla icecream ~????
5 star hotel ; amazing room with an amazing view of the beach .
come here with your special one ! the sea side garden is marvelously romantic . the dinner served here is great ! :)
The salmon sashimi is ok. But it's because they didn't prepare it, they just cut it. Please. If u think this buffet is worth the RM70 or RM100 at weekends, you need to go out of Pg a bit more n see.
Nice view and room design...From my balcony
It is just simply awesome!
Our room is beautiful and impressively large, but the buffet is very disappointing. The curry is brown glop and the whole desert offering was lackluster. Restaurant staff wasn't friendly either.
Sarkies Corner serves Ala-carte while Sarkies Annex serves buffet lunch and dinner !
Nice lunch buffet with lots of food to select..some desserts are nice..but some are not
Beautifully restored, but just missing that extra touch in comparable hotels ie raffles (in sg) and the galle face (sri lanka).
A long established & historical hotel in the city
The small cocktail bar has live music and decent drinks. Careful, the mint julep is good but tiny.
Best and heritage 5 star hotel ever
