Jalan Baharu Holidays

Unique property with comfortable bed and good kitchen. Staff helpful. No reception staff. Just on call.

The room was lovely, extremely comfortable bed and pillows, regular room service with cleaning, my only frustration was nobody on the desk spoke decent English, so the communication was difficult, also you couldn’t order a coffee until 11am which I thought was ridiculous as when I was heading out earlier of a morning it would have been nice to grab a take away coffee, and also they only have full cream milk, which I can’t have, so many people require either soy, almond or skim milk.. also when I enquired at the desk about accessing Netflix and YouTube for my tv in my room, I was advised you only have access link if you have a android mobile, and I have an I phone as alot of people do, I found this rather disappointing.. the area location on the beach was absolutely beautiful..

Staying at the Areca is like coming home. The staff remember me and are warm, friendly & helpful. The rooms are comfortable & charming. Love the design of this row of heritage houses, making it a cohesive and cosy hotel. Location cannot be beaten.

The hotel is situated in the centre of old city between China Town and Little India within the walking distance to all major sights. Unlimited shopping and dining options nearby. Public busses around the corner. The staff could me more helpful, cleanelles of the room was OK. Cleaned every day with complimentary drinking water. Markets next door.
