Experiencing Areca Hotel

Areca Hotel Review Stay (24 November 2017)


My wife and I enjoyed the privilege of a review stay at Areca Hotel on 24-26 November, 2017. The hotel is housed in a row of beautifully restored townhouses along Khoo Sian Ewe Road, in the heart of George Town, Penang. During our stay, we were given the very spacious Heritage Room, which is on the ground floor. The room measures 40 square meters and has a queen-size bed. It is comfortably furnished with period furniture, but all the modern amenities are available, from multi-channel television to fast wifi.

Our daily breakfast was taken at the hotel's inhouse Areca Cafe. Although the hotel is of modest size, the breakfast selection was quite good. After breakfast, I was taken on a hotel tour, so that I can have a chance to review all its facilities. I was surprised that the hotel has its own meeting rooms to cater to executive meetings and off-site functions.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
