The most frustrating hotel, ever. Such a good vibe, lovely staff, ruined by weird rules, times, and a management that sucks the joy out of a stay. It could be such a good hotel. But it isn't. The area is quiet but that also means you need your hotel to provide services in the evening. Forget it. 7pm prompt, the pool shuts. 9.30pm prompt, everything else shuts down. Coming back from the city and need a soft drink or snack, forget it. There is a tiny 7-eleven in the MTR station a few minutes away but that is it. The upkeep is also struggling, painting and repair work is poor quality, the lifts become overwhelmed really easily so you can be delayed getting out or in to the hotel, the much lauded 'Arca Sky' bar does not exist anymore... the list is long. It COULD be and SHOULD be a great hotel. But the way it is run removes any joy or fun to be had. The staff apologised for many things and kept saying "sorry, we're a small hotel". It has over 150 rooms... at 10.30pm, after all the services are shut there are five people chatting at reception, 4 people behind the (closed) bar chatting, two people down at the ground level welcoming people and pressing the elevator buttons. But, can you get a refreshment or anything other than a soda or beer for extortianate money from behind the desk? No. Walk to the 7-eleven back at the MTR or get ripped off and pay $380 for a bottle of cheap wine or $4 for a Sprite. The management need to change as this place could be the best in HK. It isn't ATM

The pool was beautiful rooms were very comfortable nice shower and washroom facilities. Great amenities and replenished daily. Overall, very nice place to stay although dining and drinks were quite expensive. After two weeks, the music playlist was a bit monotonous.

I had a wonderful time at The Arca. Check in & out was fast and easy. My room was beautiful, great view of the pier harbour, everything you need for a wonderful stay is included - expresso machine, mini fridge, clothes hangers, umbrella, bathroom was spacious. I didnt have breakfast here so cannot comment. Its about 10min walk to the metro with is part of the southside mall which has a supermarket, restaurants including macdonalds. You can also catch buses around HK - about 5 to 10min walk to a bus stop depending on where you want to go in HK. Will definitely stay here again as its good value for the price considering how expensive HK is. You can pay $100 - $150 AUD less to stay closer to the main harbour but the rooms will be half the size, no view and probably not quiet for a good sleep. Book this hotel, its worth it.

We had a room on level 25. The staff at reception and room cleaners were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable (although there was no couch, just a seating area on the windowsill). The bathroom was good and the shower great. The rooftop infinity pool offers lovely views. The only downside was limited dining/bar options in the area. The hotel has a restaurant on L3 and there is an African cafe in a neighbouring building (L15) but besides that - we couldn't find much. There is a mall at the nearby Metro and there are a few eating options in Aberdeen but we found only 1 bar. The hotel is about an 8 minute walk to the Metro and you can be in Central 10 minutes later.
