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.

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
