Calmness in the heart of Georgetown

This hotel is an excellent choice!
This is a beautiful,1906 hotel that has been maintained its historic floors, metal post and iron works, and general appearance. The breakfast was nice and the lounge was open with drinks and snacks all day. The people were very helpful and did their best to make our stay happy! We recommend it!

Quaint interesting historic hotel
Great hotel with a lot of history. Amazingly helpful staff. However if walking up stairs is an issue for you then maybe not stay here - no lift although there are ground floor rooms

Great service
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)

Very warm welcome at a beautiful boutique hotel
I felt the contiental breakfast could have been more generous and varied. Only one small bowl of fruit available " this seems unfair in a country of marvelous fruits at v cheap price.also no fresh juice just packet Bathroom only separed from bed by curtain ok but not ideal for privacy on" the throne" Manager and staff very friendly and helpful with excellent recommendations Great location for sightseeing and restaurants- interesting historic building beautiful appointed

Very convenient location to all the major tourist areas around Georgetown. The staff was amazing and very helpful, always there to help plan the day with recommendations and providing tips. The only downside was the WiFi was slow. Overall, excellent hotel.

A true boutique hotel
The band across the street played loud music until 2330. The staff were amazingly wonderful and good. This is a true boutique hotel not to be confused with anything modern, but it was truly comfortable and charming.

An excellent place to stay
The hotel is reasonably small so you get personal service. It is located in a convenient location for restaurants and an easy walk into town. The facilities were very good and the staff were extremely helpful. Nothing was too much effort. A great place to stay in an interesting town.

It was my second time staying at The Edison and it was as lovely as the first time I stayed there pre-Covid. The service was impeccable and the hotel is beautiful, central to attractions and well maintained.
