We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Coffee Atelier. The staff could not have been more helpful and the room was lovely and unique. The breakfast was also of high quality and it’s also worth having lunch at the cafe. Highly recommend!
It was such an extraordinary experience to stay in a house which has a history of about 100 years. The house was very well maintained and very clean and tidy. The helpful and friendly staff did add a lot of values and peace of mind to us. But please be mindful that stairs inside the house may not be suitable for elderly or small kids.
Absolutely love this boutique hotel. it is very unique and certainly appropriate for the old school feel. It brings back a lot of childhood memory. The air-con, decent wifi, hot shower, astro tv are all good essential modern features. The safe provided in the cupboard is tremendously useful. The western style breakfast provided each morning is tasty and filling before one ventures out for local Penang street food ! The freshly made orange juice and fruit salad are great. Most of all, I absolutely love the coffee here!!!! Above all, the warm and welcoming hospitality provided by the staff, particularly Judy and Ruby (they are sisters!) really made our trip very enjoyable!
One thing to note that is that we stayed in the upstair bedroom with narrow steps, this will not be suitable for disabled individual. I am sure they will let you know before you travel.
I will definitely stay here again should I return to Penang in the near future.
You have to stay here in this quirky little boutique hotel and whilst the bathroom may not be conventional the rest certainly makes up for it. The staff are very attentive and extremely helpful and the breakfast a great start to the day.
We LOVED this hotel. Great location in the middle of everything. The whole room was lovely with character and nice little touches, such as high quality tea bags included, and a plethora of comfortable bed pillows. The outdoor shower and kitchen/sitting area was perfect for relaxing while still getting fresh air. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. We would happily stay here again.
This heritage hotel is absolutely outstanding, everything was perfect from the first minute to the last. We were greeted by the very competent and friendly management team with refreshments and lots of local insight. The room or rather more like an apartment on the first floor was everything I expected, this 1927 house is still in very original condition, yet does have all the modern amenities like AC, WIFI, TV, modern bathroom etc.It is located right in the center of the UNESCO World Heritage Area of Penang, so everything you want to see is in walking distance. Breakfast was very good, with probably the best coffee I had in Malaysia. Our flight left Penang in the evening, so we still had a full day of sightseeing in Penang, after which the Cafe Atelier management team afforded us the possibility to take a shower before we headed to the airport. We will be back next chance we get!
We stayed here for 2 nights this past July and completely adored it. A well preserved old gem in the heart of Georgetown with just 7 or 8 rooms with some unique artifacts and beautiful Chinese furniture pieces. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. A special thank you to Rubilyn and her co-workers who do an excellent job in the upkeep of this place. Would love to come back and stay again!
Excellent historical hotel. It was like traveling back in time. Huge room with an attached veranda. Very relaxing. If this is your thing, you will be rewarded.
My friends and I had a very positive experience in this charming hotel. Located in the historic area of Georgetown and walkable to many interesting places. Hotel staff is very helpful and efficient. Rooms are comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Highly recommended.
We had a great time at this place, so much that we returned to the same place after going away for a couple of days at Cameron Highlands
Not only the staff was great, the breakfast was fantastic, besides the delicious coffee, organic bread, great quality muesli, the staff accommodated in special requests like bringing breakfast to our room as we had a very early start the next day
Fully recommend it!
This hotel is fantastic on so many fronts....helpful happy staff, lovely room and amenities, realy good food and generous breakfasts and all smack bang in the middle of historical, world heritage awarded Georgetown. The hotel as the name implies is studio style including lovely antique furniture. But mostly it's convivial manageress Robbie's smile and patience which made our stay such a pleasant one. She had plenty of time to guide us around the map and offer suggestions of things to do and see
Coffee Atelier was a wonderful, charming, "authentic" experience, in a century-old house, with creaking-wood charm, and yet air-conditioned comfort. True to the name, the coffee was great, and so was the breakfast, and, if you're looking to discover old town George Town, Penang (the Unesco heritage site), like I was, Coffee Atelier is right in the middle of it.
