We loved our stay at E&O. It’s a beautiful hotel and has many old style charm. The breakfast options were amazing. The location is within walking distances to many restaurants, banks and fun places, Chew Jetty, Armenian Street…

Nice hotel. Heiritage wing is the old classic hotel. Victory Annexe is newer section and has its own reception but you can walk between the two. Rooms a bit noisy in the morning due to hard floors.

This is a beautiful and wonderful hotel but do take note of the noisy karaoke performance in the month of The Hungry Ghost Festival, request for rooms far far away from the main road :)

There was no shampoo, but two conditioners instead. I called the front desk, but the shampoo had not arrived even after 15 minutes, so I went to the front desk to pick it up with wet hair. I was shown to the breakfast terrace and seated, but the lady in charge did not notice me, so I walked over to order tea, which resulted in the wrong coffee being brought. She was not focused. The female staff in the lobby restaurant was unpleasant, overbearing without a smile, I ordered a medium steak and it was perfectly well done, the meat was a hard stringy part at the edge, the male staff asked how the food was and I told him it was well done, he just laughed.
I visited expecting Oriental Hotel service but was disappointed.

The E&O is a charming and beautiful property which is located right on the sea in Georgetown. It is an old and lovely property. The staff are very warm and welcoming.
But it is in fairly poor condition with the rooms in need of refurbishment. We had rooms right below where the drilling was happening. They did change us out but only after several calls.
The bar and restaurant are top class. The breakfast is excellent. But the menu was the same all the 4 days.
Overall I would highly recommend it but please lower your expectations that the power outlets might not always work or the shower diverter might be broken. Take these things in your stride and you will be fine.

The TV is old and fuzzy, a throwback to the TV of yore. Pool is rather small, three strokes and it’s a lap. Staff was attentive though.

The room facing the sea was beautiful. Especially liked the afternoon checkin from staff to get supplies ie water bottles twice daily since the weather is so hot. Staff were friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed all the dining options available on-site.

Great hotel. Either the Heritage or Annex victory is great.Rooms are huge. We stayed at the annexed Victory wing and have a great view of the sea. Breakfast buffet was spectacular. Rooms need updating especially the TV. Wall charges on bed side should include USB charges. The big negative is crossing the street from the hotel. Seems like this is a big issue with many guest trying to cross the street.

It is by far one of the best places I have stayed without spending an arm and a leg. We traveled from Australia and were impressed by the breakfast inclusion with room along with complimentary mini bar and bottled water throughout. We also had buffet dinner which was worth it. The place was so surreal and relaxing. The facilities and staff were excellent.

We were delayed in London due to no fault of us but the airline. They compensated us without us asking to upgrade our room to a suite and also when I told them if we can hv a buffet on the house, there was no hesitation to honour it. Thank you Eastern n Oriental as it made us feel happy after such a horrendous journey as we had to rearrange n lost quite abit due to delay .

Stayed one night in the E&O. Great room, comfortable bed, all amenities. The aircon was brutal and was the only time I felt cold (but I’m from Scotland so that was a good thing!). Staff were lovely and the food was great. Location overlooking the sea, at the edge of the historic old town was perfect, as I’d arranged a food tour. Nice touch was free soft drinks in addition to free water but I didn’t take any. One slight complaint - the fridge smelled a bit - I suspect a previous guest had smuggled in durian, despite the warnings.

We love staying at the E & O hotel. The property is situated right on the water and you can walk along the sea wall once you leave the lobby. The building preserves a heritage appearance while being well maintained. The service is outstanding and personal. For food, we enjoy starting our day with breakfast downstairs at Sarkie’s, where there is a wonderful variety of local and international food options at the buffet.
