Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple

Our stay at the Areca was not typical for us. Yet we enjoyed the nods to the building’s history with the furnishings in our heritage room and loved the courtyard! However, a week was a little too long in this style of accommodation with no windows in the room. There were only dark wood shutters that opened to bars on the outside, which seems typical in the historic shop house design. The area is filled with history and it was very easy to get to the various points of interest. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. One note: of the 7 nights we stayed there the Majestic theatre across the street hosted two events in a row on a weekend. It was very noisy as we had read it could be in another review, so we were okay with it (headphones worked great)! Also, the noise stopped promptly around midnight. The other 5 nights it was super quiet as it often was during the day. All in all, it was great for the price point. Thank you to all staff for making our stay memorable and for doing such a great job at preserving this piece of history for guests to enjoy.

Excellent service and nice staff members!
