We loved our stay at Areca, we had a room on the ground floor and it was sheer luxury, spacious, beautiful tiles on the floor, high ceiling, lovely period furniture, fans and air conditioner and a shower that was truly magnificent. We loved the afternoon teas and all the delights that were served. Your staff are extremely polite and courteous. We stayed for a week and would be happy to return. Thank you Areca.

Friendly, helpful staff & a well maintained boutique hotel that has old world charm. We had the attic room which was spacious & well furnished. The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning powerful especially with an additional ceiling fan. The shower was wonderfully strong. The amenities were basic but adequate. The best part of our stay was the iced, flavored water freely available in the lobby for guests. It was especially nice after walking in the warm outdoors. A nice touch of complimentary afternoon tea with a few tasty nibbles. We would definitely stay here again.

I felt like I walked onto a movie set back in the 20’s. The hotel kept the room setting from the early 1900’s. It is beautiful and relaxing! Everything was excellent. The only down side was the pillows.

Pros: Centrally located in the city. Walking distant ( literally across the street) to many famous food stalls. Polite and helpful staff. Fairly painless check in and quick checkout. Free wi fi. Free afternoon tea between 3 and 5pm daily. Steps away from the city free bus stop. You can take this bus to visit most of the attraction in downtown. Cons: Because of its location, it can be noisy 24/7 ( they are aware of this and they are ready to provide earplugs upon request). One side of the hotel faces a banquet hall. So it can be very noisy during weekends. No ventilation fan in the washroom. Toilet paper is a bit thin. Not comfortable to use. The bed mattress was sagging in many places. We live in two different rooms and they're both like that. The lighting in the room was dim. I was having difficult time looking clearly at myself when shaving.
