    Couldn't recommend more for a cursory stop

    Charming property, pleasant experience, with a great location just steps from local hawker markets and delightful colonial-style architecture that offers a unique sense of comfort and happiness.

    Highly recommend for a great stay

    The decor is very nice it feels like a time capsule with the history blending into modern comfort. The staff were so kind helped us with our requests without any hesitation.

    It was a bit pricey but worth every penny.

    heritage experience
    bright lights

    the architecture is amazing, blending history with modern comfort. air-conditioning control lights are annoyingly bright at night.

    malfunctioning air conditioner

    i had a lovely stay at areca hotel penang. the heritage double room was spacious and comfy, exceeding my expectations. the ice-cold water in the lobby after exploring was a nice touch.

    the air conditioner didn't work properly.

    lighting issues
    steep steps

    No bedside sockets for charging devices!!! Low voltage lighting gave headaches, and steep steps in the loft room pose challenges for elderly guests!!! The location feels a bit unkempt compared to other areas!!!

    perfect base for exploring georgetown's attractions and eateries

    i had a fantastic stay, as the hotel is just a short walk from famous places like penang road's cendol stalls and the colorful street art that makes exploring the area so much fun.

    comfortable bed
    spacious room
    nice pantry area
    bathroom window issue

    Loved my stay here! The Heritage Double Room was spacious, with a comfy bed and a nice little pantry area that made it feel like home. Just a heads up, the bathroom window didn’t close fully, so keep the AC on to stay cool. 🌿

    cozy property
    generous breakfast
    noticeable noise
    distance to bars
    slightly unkempt areas

    A beautiful colonial-style property that feels much cozier than typical corporate hotels. The Garden Room was spacious and well-appointed, making it an enjoyable retreat. Breakfast featured a generous variety, including delightful local dishes like Nasi Lemak. The location is fairly good for exploring the area, though bars are a 10-15 minute walk away. Be aware, though, that the sound from a nearby mosque can be noticeable, and some areas outside feel slightly unkempt.
