I will definitely consider returning. Remain in this place. The location is ideal. The room is fine and there are no issues. The only issue is that you are given one single room card, which can be a hassle when both guests leave at different times. I had to always wake my wife up when i returned from a morning walk while she was sleeping in. Its the only hotel ive ever stayed at that doesnt provide at least two room keys. All in all, good enough for a few nights stay. Given the extremely close proximity to most important restaurants, such as hutton lane roti Bakar, penang chendol, and sisters cha kak, the location is ideal.

Unique boutique hotel with old fashion architecture setup inside. It's only a few minutes away from all the shopping areas. Lottos of things to see was in 10-15 minutes walk.

Sebenarnya menyenangkan menginap di monumen budaya, tapi satu AC saja tidak cukup. AC harus tetap menyala dalam waktu lama untuk mendapatkan kesejukan yang sebenarnya di dalam ruangan. Tapi sayangnya pihak hotel hanya akan memberi Anda kartu kamar untuk menghemat uang. Listrik akan otomatis mati ketika kartu kamar dicabut saat keluar. Ini cukup mengecewakan, tapi karena dibersihkan setiap hari, masalah kecil ini tidak ada apa-apanya.

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

Sehr gute Wahl um Penang zu erkunden. Ein überaus freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Die Einrichtung war schön und versprühe Nostalgie. Die Betten waren toll und sehr bequem. Das Frühstück im Areca Café war vielfältig und von guter Qualität, ebenso liebevoll angerichtet. Wir würden wieder hier unseren Aufenthalt buchen.

We would definitely book this hotel again. Beautifully restored and wellmaintained building. Clean room, albeit a bit small. Great location in the heart of Georgetown. Breakfast was adequate. Afternoon tea was a nice touch. We would have liked to have a movie channel or two on tv. Wifi worked fine.

The interior design is stunning. The service provided by the front desk and other staff is excellent. There are so many options for the breakfast buffet. The location is close to attractions such as the top, street art, and restaurants. I will recommend this place to my family and friends.

My family and i stayed here for 5 days. Nice boutique hotel near many local restaurants, night markets and the komtar shopping center. The hotel is relatively well maintained with friendly and helpful staff. There is lift to reach higher floors. Free tea (cakes, ice cream, local deserts, tea and coffee) from 2 pm to 5 pm is offered to guests. The rooms are on the smaller side but comfortable. Both fan and air are available. However, cleaning the bathroom is necessary as mold is starting to gather in some areas. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in areca and consider it good value for money with a great location.

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.

The location is good and close to local attractions by walking. We drove there but there are no parking facilities. Had to compete with the cars along the public road outside the hotel and had to jump through a few loops to pay via the app.

The hotel is nice, but the standard rooms are small and hot, and there is no view from the window. The door to the room has cracks. Poor sound insulation. Delicious breakfast, and a voucher for a free snack after 15.00.
