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.

Good location but crossing Penang Road can be challenging. Use the bridge or walk to the traffic lights at Campbell. Clean and comfortable room. Ear plugs provided so mosque and street noise are muted. Good selection of food for breakfast. Special mention - excellent service from Yahfiz. Complimentary afternoon tea.

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.

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.
