Very friendly and helpful staff, big comfortable room with effective aircon and fans. Breakfast was very good with wide selection of quality, interesting food. Location is also very good for food and exploring Georgetown. All in all a great hotel experience.
Charming & beautifully restored, Areca is made more beautiful by its warm, dedicated & customer-oriented staff. One feels transformed to the old glory of Areca’s past of prewar shophouses with the comfort, coziness and impressively maintained boutique hotel destination it is now.
Great historic building to stay in Penang close to everything.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room is a little old. Water heater is working too well. ( Btw I wanted cold water and water came out hot :P) Bed linen had stains. Air con was rather noisy so we use the ceiling fan often. Love the location of the property! Walking distance to department store as well as food stalls & market. The staff there were friendly and helpful. There's the complimentary simple tea break which is much appreciated. On the whole, we enjoyed our 5day stay. Will not hesitate to return.
The service and staff friendliness were great. Location is central to most of the famous street food stalls. Great afternoon tea. Cafe's setting is marvelous with beautiful glass panels and charming wooden tables and chairs.
