missingWrote a review on 07 Deccomfy bedgreat locationfriendly stafflimited breakfast optionsnoise from nearby places
The edison is super well-located for strolls around george town. The room was comfy with a nice big bathroom and the staff were really friendly. We loved the decor and the wine hour was a chill way to unwind. Definitely a treat to have snacks and drinks available 24/7 in the lounge!
but the breakfast options could've been better and there was some noise from nearby places at night.

The ambiance brims with character, complemented by accessible snacks and drinks around the clock. Evening wine and cheese offerings stand out as a nice touch.
Noise from the nearby karaoke venue keeps the volume up until midnight, which can disrupt sleep. Upon arrival, I discovered the room hadn't been cleaned properly. I found used cups, a dirty bathroom, and signs of neglect like mould and dust. The breakfast served was lackluster-a mere slice of toast and a few sad greens, failing to meet expectations given the price.

Best time in George Town 🎉
We loved the daily wine and cheese evening-such a lekker way to wind down! Plus, the vibe and decor had this charming colonial feel that just sucked us in. Special shoutout to the staff, especially Faz.
Only downside was the faint noise from the karaoke spot nearby, but it didn't ruin our stay at all.

I was appalled by the dirty room upon arrival. A used cup was left behind, and the bathroom wasn't cleaned properly. The breakfast was a mere sad little plate, disappointing! For the rates charged, i woudl ve expected complimentary service, but alas, not even an upgrade for inconvenience. It almost had potential, but just couldn't deliver.

We received a warm welcome on our arrival, and the stylish room made our stay super comfy! The outdoor swimming pool and cozy garden area provided the perfect spots to unwind. Only downside was the noise from a nearby karaoke place, but it didn’t ruin our good vibes. 😄 Be sure to join the happy hour for some free wine and snacks!

It was just a prime choice for a mini-break over the weekend in George Town with reasonable price. The lounge with snacks and drinks available all day was a nice touch. Try to request a room away from the busy street for less noise.

Great stay for solo traveler
The service was great. Albert and his team were super helpful, giving me all the tips for local food and sights. They even got my room ready before check-in!
It wasn't exactly a bargain, but worth every penny, given the quality.
