Good maintenance heritage hotel. The room has ceiling fan and aircon installed, both running well in the hot hours. Offered the free afternoon tea was a bonus although we couldn’t get back to hotel to enjoy it everyday. Will definitely suggest it for travellers wanting a relaxing day stay.

The staff here are excellent people. Nice. There was a rock concert across the street and I asked if we could move rooms to back and they accommodate. We stayed 5 nights only one was noisy because of concert. The staff cannot help that. Good breakfasts, good laundry services. Friendly, friendly, friendly. Wonderful people

Our stay at the Areca was not typical for us. Yet we enjoyed the nods to the building’s history with the furnishings in our heritage room and loved the courtyard! However, a week was a little too long in this style of accommodation with no windows in the room. There were only dark wood shutters that opened to bars on the outside, which seems typical in the historic shop house design. The area is filled with history and it was very easy to get to the various points of interest. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. One note: of the 7 nights we stayed there the Majestic theatre across the street hosted two events in a row on a weekend. It was very noisy as we had read it could be in another review, so we were okay with it (headphones worked great)! Also, the noise stopped promptly around midnight. The other 5 nights it was super quiet as it often was during the day. All in all, it was great for the price point. Thank you to all staff for making our stay memorable and for doing such a great job at preserving this piece of history for guests to enjoy.

The property had a colonial feel to it. Located a street away from the main road, which was an advantage as quiet. The room (Loft) we booked was comfortable and spacious. The staff at Breakfast were kind and polite. The location was central and walking distance to the main attractions. Also easy to get a taxi (grab).

It was unfortunate access to the hotel was blocked due to the Chingay Procession & we had to drive around for nearly 2hrs. Will be great if the hotel staff alerted us earlier for anticipation. Other than that, the stay is pleasant.

Liked the heritage aspects and the large rooms Very noisy, preventing sleep when events are held next door (at the Majestic) and during clean-up/restoration afterwards due to unmotivated and untrained staff used at the venue.

Hotel Excellent location off Penang Road, lots of places to eat, near shopping mall and walk to heritage history. Hotel clean, very relaxing, breakfast excellent, staff very helpful. The tour rep and colleague helped us book a 2 day trip to Kuala Lumper and recommendations, it was very good. A day trip to Penang Hill and Baru Farringu beach is also recommended. Love Malaysia.
