Stayed for a night to attend a convocation at E&O Hotel. A very simple and nice hotel to stay in the heart of Penang island. Room is big but since this is an old hotel, the furnishings are quite old as well. Not dirty but could use a makeover. Reasonable price and simple and good breakfast. Would recommend and stay...

This hotel is located at the top of Penang road near the waterfront. This end is close to the many old colonial buildings near the esplanade which is just a10 minute stroll away. It is also just across from a bar and restaurant area which is quite lively in the evenings. Location is great to serve as a base for... More
