Areca Hotel Penang

I love the large Victorian style family room.

Love the rich heritage decoration of the place, the scent and cleanliness. The staff were friendly and welcoming! Only drawback is if your room is facing directly the event space opposite, do expect a lot of noise at night. We stayed over the weekend and there was a wedding, people were really loud at 1am saying goodbye and getting really loud after all the drinking. It was horrible esp with young kids sleeping halfway crying from the noise.

The staffs are enthusiastically helpful. Very polite and courteous! We felt like living with a family instead of hotel ! The breakfast and tea are warmly served . The hotel is a lovely classical taste and nostalgia to the Georgetown past. There are plenty to do in this old town with incredible food and shopping ! We would definitely going to stay here next time and also interested to stay at the related resort facilities !

The family Suite is a big room. Beds and pillows are comfortable.

I enjoyed my stay here. The rooms were big enough, very comfortable and the staff were keen to please and respond to requests. Great to have the children's room for those with young ones. Location also good. My reason for not giving excellent is the dreadful packed breakfast provided. Normal breakfast for guests is RM25 and this includes many things - fruits/yoghurt/eggs/sausage/tomato/baked beans, etc. As I was departing at 7.15am I asked for a packed breakfast - this was agreed and cost was RM20. I actually couldn't eat the awful sandwiches and had to throw them away. Four rounds of awful white bread with no butter, cheese slice and processed meat. Inedible. Sorry, but you need to do something about that, or do not offer such a service. For the rest though, great and for sure I would stay again.

super spacious and cozy family suite that comfortably fits 5-6 persons. really love the interior and decorations around the hotel. helpful staff as well!

Very good experience. This hotel has a nostalgic feel. Like the peranakan style ceramic floor tiles. Room is clean & cosy. Water from shower head is strong & good. Walking distance to major tourist spots & eatery like local food char kueh tiao, chendol dessert. Highly recommended a restaurant called Hygge Dining & Bar which is a block away from hotel. It served very good modern Asian cuisine. My family chill out at the hotel ground floor area with own bought beer & snacks at night. We like everything about this hotel. Will definitely choose it again for next visit.
