    Hotel location is very good, nearby ATM, convenience store, a few food vendors and very near from almost everywhere. Restaurant food is quite nice and not that pricy, restaurant manager is very kind and helpful.

    Had a wonderful stay at Areca Hotel! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the service was outstanding. Special thanks to Ana, Mikee, and Norvin for being so warm, attentive, and helpful — they really made our stay extra special. Highly recommend this hotel for its great staff, spotless rooms, and overall excellent experience!

    The wifi was terrible this time however, the city was dealing with power cuts for the entire first day we were there, this could have been the cause. The upside is the hotel had its own generator which easily powered the hotel meaning air con worked etc.

    This is our second stay at this hotel using one of their suites. The room is a great size with a living arear and a bedroom. There is a TV in both the living area and bedroom, pluis air condition throughout. The bed is super comfortable. The staff are friendly and efficient. Breakfast is ok, not anything to write home about, but it came with the room.

    The wifi could be better. I had a very important zoom meeting both days, for 8 hours(training) and at times the wifi was too sloqw and it stalled. We only got one bottle of drinking water, 1 L. That was not enough and we had to buy extra water at a nearby store.

    We arrived early, at noon, and the staff checked us in nonetheless. That was superb and the front desk staff was super friendly. The breakfast was ok during the first morning , good selection ,the second morning it was superb. I really liked the adobo and Hungarian sausauge on the second morning.

    The room location itself room 209, to close to the main road , a lot of traffic noise, i didn't realize how far back in the hotel, there were more rooms , which would not have had road noise, i mentioned to the desk , will request a different room next time.

    Room was nice , good breakfast buffet, staff friendly and helpful , salamat Anna,Norvin and Mikee, there are two restaurants, the breakfast buffet served in one , not sure there open lunch but they were serving dinner, we had already eaten and didn't take advantage of that , they appeared to be vey nice restaurants, next time

    When you not coffee drinks tip tea bag from the room for breakfast :)

    good hotel room was too small. had the staff Ana, Dave, Milck arranged a large room in connection with 6 days stay. bring your own tea bag from your room then ask for a pot of hot water then this will be fine if you do not drink coffee. food breakfast lunch and evening top top 👌🏽 and if you want to eat more luxurious or good tasty cocktail highly recommended next to the hotel good bartender good chef cook stays calm oversees everything keep it up topper. thanks for your hospitality gr ranjith

    No elevator, but you can request for a room that is located in the ground/lower floors

    Located in the busy streets of Old Albay District, this hotel surely delivered when it comes to their service and amenities. The rooms are new, the bed was comfy. Location is very strategic, near coffeeshops, fastfood chains, banks etc. The hidden gem is their complimentary breakfast buffet which is your typical delicious Filipino breakfast, perfect if you're bringing someone who missed it after years of being away from the country or if you have a foreigner visitor. We will surely book again!

    Since it’s accessible to tourists, expect to have luggage with them. It was hard if there’s no elevator :(

    Value for money, accessible to tourists (30 mins via grab from Daraga airport), near highway and nearby places ie fastfood, near the church were my cousin got married, fast internet, accommodating staff.

    There was no elevator. It was difficult for seniors to climb the stairs going to your rooms.

    It was near Mayon along the way to Naga.

    noise on the street can be heard until late evening and morning because its along a major/busy city street; parking is too tight; and room is quite compact, you can barely move with the other fixtures; bed table (barely half a square meter) is packed with table lamp, hot water kettle, cups/glasses, two bottles of water and tv set…you can barely put your laptop on the table without hitting the fixtures; bidet placement is too narrow to use properly without getting tangled.

    very modern and central location, amenities including toiletries are top notch, breakfast is quite diverse, open air evlevated veranda
