Whoever designed the hotel rooms and overall hotel concept did a wonderful job -- everything is so thoughtfully executed! The location is perfect -- a short walk to the Southside MTR Mall and Wong Chuk Hang station. The Arca Society on the 3rd floor hosts breakfasts and is nice and airy and spacious (a la carte as well as buffet-- I tried both and slightly prefer the buffet). I got a Sea View Sea Signature King Room, which had a wonderful view of Aberdeen Harbour and was extremely clean and quiet. All the amenities were top-notch and the room had everything I needed / everything looked new. The best part is the swimming pool on the 33rd floor -- stunning views of Aberdeen Harbour, Ap Lei Chau, Lamma Island, and (if my geography isn't mistaken) also the south face of The Peak . The staff are really attentive and helped me arrange an extra-early 8am check in. I only got to stay for 1 night but will definitely return.

I have been wanting to stay at The Arca for the last couple of years. Am glad to have finally stayed at The Arca in January 2025.

The hotel is located a few minutes away from the main road where buses pass by, and the Wong Chuk Hang MTR station is a few minutes away by walking. My only bugbear is that the airport bus A17 has very few trips, so had to take another Airport Bus (A10, though A11/A12 and change buses are workable options too) and change to another bus to come to the hotel.

The check-in staff were friendly and helpful to answer my questions about directions and recommendations on what to go and see.

With the single-use plastic ban in Hong Kong, there is no more plastic bottles provided every day to customers, but luckily there is a jug and a big dispenser outside the room in the hallway to collect water, which is very useful.

I booked the seaview king room and got the high floor thankfully, which had a stunning view of Aberdeen Harbour! The harbour looked great all day and loved hearing the South Island Line trains as they passed by. Truly one of the best views of HK.

The room itself is very spacious, and the bathroom was spacious as well. The daily housekeeping also did an excellent job of cleaning and tidying up the room when I went out on my daily adventures.

I also went up to the pool/deck level to take photos. I was sad the pool was closed during the winter, but if I come during the warmer months next time, I will be sure to use the pool!

The next time I stay in Hong Kong, I will be sure to book my stay at The Arca again.

The Arca is a very good hotel with large rooms and all sorts of amenities, very helpful staff, and a nice pool. It is located in the South side of Hong Kong, a short walk from the new shopping centre ‘The Southside’ (with lots or restaurant choices) and the MTR.
We appreciated the size of the room, the location and the friendliness of the staff. I particularly commend Ms Candy Tam, ‘Community Manager’ for promptly changing me the room (our neighbours were very noisy) and making sure we were satisfied with the new one.
Request non-connecting rooms if you’re not a family: you will avoid hearing what happens in the next-door room.

We are a family of five (2 adults and 3 kids age 8,5 and 1). We stayed in the family suite with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The whole experience from check in to check out was flawless. The concierge, front desk, restaurant, housekeeping to the pool attendants were were exemplary. Our room was spotless and the layout was ideal as it gave us enough separation but also open enough to feel spacious. The view was incredible and we loved the automated blinds/curtains. The wnsuite bath is huge, although the floors are deathly slippery when wet, but the massive shower room is big enough to have 2 adults amid 2 children showering at the same time. Water pressure also good and loved the option of rain shower and shower head.

The breakfast buffet is also decent value especially if you have children. All Kids under 12 eat for free for every paying adult which was great for us as we have 3! Room service was also speedy and menu option had a kids section which was an unexpected treat.

The pool and gym were also great. Water in the pool on the cooler side as it’s not heated so in the fall/winter months prob not ideal for children but on a hot day it’s fine. Gym was fab - has everything you need and then some and not busy.

Without a doubt, we will choose to stay at the arca again on our next visit! Keep up the great work guys!!

Great service as always. This time I stayed in room 2211. Special praise to the lady who helped me check in and Sunny from the concierge. They were both very polite and professional. The room was clean and comfortable. There are new boxes for cotton swabs and cotton pads in the bathroom, which are very easy to access.

Nearly a year ago we stayed at the Arca again! The condition of the rooms is still very good, it seems that the staff of the hotel has worked hard to maintain😂 Unfortunately in the winter we can not use the pool, but the ceiling space is still open for viewing, the sunset is beautiful! This time helped check-in colleague Janet is polite, helped to arrange the room on the upper floor, the view is good😊 restaurant breakfast is much more than before, the quality of food has also improved a lot than before👍🏻 has booked the next year's room👍🏻 look forward to staying again!

Because of a friend's wedding, The Arca held a wedding luncheon + stayed for one night. Overall, it was great! The room environment is clean and tidy, and the air conditioning, bed, hot water, lighting, etc. are all good. In short, it is a comfortable stay! The food at the wedding luncheon was good. As a person who doesn't eat too much, I couldn't believe that the red-looking steak was just right and tasted great! The venue is large and tidy, and the staff's friendly service. We had a buffet lunch, and the staff were very diligent in changing dishes. Personally, I am very satisfied overall! If you are a dog lover, the hotel welcomes dogs and provides buried food. It is definitely recommended to experience the hotel!

The hotel is very close to Wong Chuk Hang MTR station, about 7-10 minutes' walk. The hotel room is large, bright and bright, the space is novel in design, there are plenty of toiletries, there is also a coffee bar, high-end coffee brews and multiple flavors to choose from , there are also several bags of tea bags to choose from, and the most important thing is that the plates and yoshi can be used, which is really convenient for us to bring things back to the hotel to eat. The shop also has an infinity swimming pool and gym that we can use as we like.
Shadian provides shuttle buses to and from Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station, and the buses are very frequent, which is really very convenient.
In addition, because we checked in late, the hotel staff Candy Tam provided excellent service. She helped us check in with a smile. She was very considerate and helped us lead the way and press the elevator. She also said good night to us with a smile on her face. It was very heartwarming. We will come back next time. Will come to check in.

The hotel is located in a subway station. The room decoration style is trendy. When checking in, the front desk staff Kekin, Kinki and Chloe were patient and polite. When you entered the room, you had an incomparable sea view, plenty of light, complete personal hygiene products, and the waiters were very tidy. The drinks are very complete and the room is well soundproofed. You can have a comfortable and quiet night. The hotel can enjoy dinner in the restaurant and has a fitness room. Anna, the housekeeper, also helped carry the luggage to the elevator during checkout. I am grateful for her thoughtfulness. , and also called a taxi service on my behalf. The overall service attitude of the hotel is very good, and it is worth staying again.
