This place is fine. Not great though, especially considering how expensive it is. The room is large, but strangely played out. The bathrooms small and smelly. The plug sockets are poorly and inconveniently placed. The building itself though is quite nice, and the location is good, except that the wedding venue across the street makes for some very noisy evenings. For €130+ you’d expect more.

great staff, very helpful and polite! the old-style fashion of the building is lovely but the room in not so comfortable.. no noise insulation and poor thermal insulation.. the aircon was working hard to keep the room temp acceptable. in the morning you can hear every other guest waking up, having shower, chatting in the hallway and even the voice and traffic from outside. nice place, but won t come back

My family and I stayed here for five days. Nice boutique hotel that is close to many of the nearby eateries, night markets and Komtar shopping centre. Hotel is relatively well kept with friendly and helpful staff. There is lift to reach the higher floors. Complimentary tea (cakes, ice cream, local deserts, tea and coffee) from 2-5pm is offered to guest. Rooms are on smaller side but comfortable. Both fan and aircon available. However, some cleaning required to the bathrooms as mould is starting to gather in some areas. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Areca and consider it value for money with excellent location.

What I love about the hotel: the warm and inviting, Peranakan-style decoration of the lobby and clean rooms with comfortable beds! Plenty of areas to chill and reflect on life as well as Instagrammable spots around the hotel. The front-desk managers were friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. They even called to ask if everything is okay after we checked into our room. There's a fan - on top of air-con - in the room which really helps to cool the room quickly and is a God-send in the tropical, humid island weather! However, the toilet is a little small and tight and there were some stains in the towels given to us on one of the days. There were also some signs of wear and tear. Locational-wise, walkable (like less than 5mins) to various popular food joints and malls e.g. Hutton roti bakar, Famous Laksa, Penang Street Chendol, Ming Xiang Tai Pastry, Chowrasta Market, Toh Soon Cafe, Hema Hema Ice Cream, Chulia Street, etc. No need to bring your own toiletries as it's all provided including room slippers. There's an elevator in the hotel which is a huge plus point if you have big luggages. If you are concerned about noise, you can consider requesting for rooms 303, 304, 305 which are located on the second level and away from the hotel's cafe as well as a place of worship. We didn't have any issues with noise... we can't really hear much once the door is closed. The hotel provides complimentary daily high tea for all hotel guests from 3pm to 5pm. Overall, a pleasant hotel that is strategically located yet still retain its peacefulness for a comfortable stay!

Hotel service and food were great. A bit pricey though. Being in Georgetown has its drawbacks. It can be noisy and soundproofing isn’t great in these older style shophouses. The upstairs rooms with two beds on the top floor had better maintained rooms than the ground floor room that I stayed at. You’ll still hear the mosque each morning.
