Loved the whole old work vibes of the Edison. A wonderful oasis, with large well appointed rooms that feel lux in an understated way. Great bathroom, comfy bed. The hospitality of every one of their staff was outstanding. Had some great food recommendations from Albert. Loved the all day lounge where you could grab a drink or a snack and the we one hour where as a solo traveler I got to meet so many wonderful people. Overall, an excellent experience.

Great hotel in a great location. Staff were wonderful and made us very welcome. Lots of great ideas of things to do. Noise from hawker market opposite was very loud but the ear plugs helped massively. Probably nicest hotel in Georgetown from what we saw.

Albert and his team did a great job hosting me for 2 nights ! Hotel is efficient but also very laid back . It’s an old mansion and some of the public areas do not have AC . Anywhere you would like to me had AC and was comfortable ! Free non- alcoholic drinks and snacks available . Breakfast prepared to order eggs were great ! Lap pool is good location to chill out after a busy day ! Looking forward to returning ! Check my postings I don’t give many 5 star ratings

Lovely room, great service, comfy bed. Fantastic welcome and orientation to the hotel and area. Room on main floor was very noisy from room above, so maybe take upper room if light sleeper (though could be noisy wirth rain)

A modern colonial boutique gem.

The Edison is a comfortable friendly boutique style hotel with a modern colonial vibe. Very well located in the heart of heritage Georgetown. Decor is elegant and understated. The real strength of the place though is the staff. Really nice service at all terms. Friendly and seemingly informal but ever helpful and anticipating needs, with nothing ever too much trouble. My stay was for 6 nights and it never faltered and if anything just kept on getting better. If you have mobility issues be sure to ask for a downstairs room as there are mo lifts. Only slight quibble was that wifi data rates were patchy. But overall it’s strongly recommended.
