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.

no advise given that parking is free and touch and go card needs to be validated every time we go out (knew about this only on second day when we asked on it). Also not advised drinks in minibar were free. only knew on the last day when someone came to ask us if needed any additional. Should check in counter not advise on this when checking in ?
Sent an email a few days before checking in if our room is at the new or old wing and no reply received as a result had to run around looking for our correct wing (seems to be a common problem as that’s the first thing concierge will ask).

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 :)

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 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.

5 Star stay at E&O
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.
