Comdy beds and pillows, loved the shower head also. Strong and good temperature that is adjustable. Aircon and fan strong. 1 narrow stairway and 1 lift which has a limit of 4 ppl max and moves really slowly. Other than that, great rooms and lovely staff and service.

The hotel is amazed with Peranakan decor in modern settings. Bright and airy. Our rooms are big and spacious. The only problem I faced are steps to the bathroom. Good that the hotel has an “antique” glass lift that moves slowly. It serves clients like me who can’t climb up and down the stairs. Maybe should consider to have another lift just in case the one and only lift breaks down. Thank you to the management for the extra high tea treats. Very generous portion.

We stayed at the family suit. The room is large and clean. The hotel is located at city center and a lot of restaurants nearby. For the breakfast included, the choice of food is limited.

Areca Hotel was delightful, full of character, so much nicer than the high rise hotels we have been staying in so far on this trip. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, not only with a welcome drink, but an invitation to afternoon tea each afternoon of our stay. The room was small, but adequate and freshened every day inclcluding clean towels etc.

I really wanted to love this hotel. I thought not having windows would be quaint but it mostly felt like a dungeon. One reviewer on another site mentioned "termites" and had pictures. He said he was basically blown off by staff. It could have been a one time occurance but it happened to me as well. I noticed a bug creeping on my bed. I didn't take a picture because I immediately killed it. It was the same as the other person's picture. If this happened to one person and to me weeks later, this is a normal occurance that has not been addressed. I couldn't sleep that night afraid of what might be crawling around me. I didn't bother reporting it because we just had one more night and I didn't want the hassle of being moved. The hotel is in a decent location with a good spot for breakfast just next door and walking distance to many places, however, I would stay somewhere else if I'm in Penang again.

The room isn’t soundproof. You can hear the call to prayer in the mornings and the cafe below. Not a terrible issue, it adds to the charm of the place but worth knowing ahead of time to set expectations right. Would stay again but in a quieter end of the hotel

Everything was good except we picked the heritage loft and it was very hot on the first night then it was better the next two nights. Next time I will choose the lower floor. Bathroom was a bit difficult for older people. There were steps to walk down.

The staff were friendly and very helpful, the room was extremely clean and the breakfast was good. Plenty to walk to nearby. The only noise was from the nearby mosque which will be a problem anywhere in Penang.

Nice hotel in the middle of the old section of Georgetown. Close to some of the tourist attractions and easy to get transportation to others. You do have to travel a bit to get to a decent beach if that is what you’re looking for. But if exploring historic cultural center, it’s a great place to stay. Hotel was well kept and maintained. Check-in was easy and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout.
