Spectacular
Pros:

Everything about the place was spectacular. A special shout out to the hosts Ruby and Judy for making our stay so comfortable.

We took the ground floor and if you are experiencing a place like this, i would suggest go for the ground floor. Once you enter your room with that small little cute door, you are taken back in time with the decor and furniture. There is a small verandah with a place for you to have your coffee and chill and the washrooms are outside as well but we did not mind that. The whole set up makes you feel at home. The location is also perfect and is at a walking distance to all the amazing places for shopping dining and drinking. There is a spa around the place called coco spa which gave us a very good deal and was very professional.

The breakfast is served in the coffee shop next door and while it's not a buffet but it's good and the again the host is super welcoming.

In summary if you are in george town and want to experience culture and history, stay here

Cons:

Nothing to dislike honestly

Mooi hotel, fijn!
Pros:

Alsof je in een prachtig hotel slaapt. Ook het personeel was erg lief

Cons:

Het ontbijt. Op zich prima, maar Amerikaans, terwijl je in Georgetown zo goed kunt ontbijten, Maleis.

Incredible place to explore George Town
Pros:

Excellent location in George Town Penang. Quiet and cosy street. Rooms are specious, authentic and clean, pictures on booking don't do the property justice. The host Ruby is super friendly, attentive and helpful!

Miejsce ma niesamowitą, historyczną duszę, warto ją poczuć.
Pros:

To miejsce to prawdziwa perełka! Ma niesamowity klimat – połączenie historii, sztuki i zapachu kawy w samym centrum miasta. Budynek jest pięknie odrestaurowany, a pokoje mają duszę i charakter tradycyjnego domu w stylu chińskim. Lokalizacja nie mogłaby być lepsza – wszystko, co najciekawsze, jest dosłownie na wyciągnięcie ręki. Śniadanie było pyszne, z doskonałą kawą i świeżymi produktami. Obsługa zasługuje na ogromne słowa uznania – niezwykle życzliwi, pomocni i zawsze uśmiechnięci. Pomogą np. w wyszukaniu tańszego transportu gdyż w godzinach szczytu ceny Graba mogą być zawyżone. W budynku mieści się też galeria sztuki z pięknymi obrazami. Czułem się tam wyjątkowo, a całe otoczenie nadawało miejscu kolonialnego uroku. Jest to miejsce, do którego chce się wracać!

Unforgettable. Will be back soon ❤️
Pros:

We had the most wonderful stay with Coffee Atelier. We were greeted by the amazing Rubi who looked after us so beautifully and immediately became a friend. The owner is also very kind and caring. The rooms are huge and have beautiful external bathrooms. They have all been decorated with original antiques. The beds were super comfortable. It is a great place to explore Penang from and is surrounded by great cafes,shops and places to eat.
We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back.

Pros:

Beautiful property fabulous architecture in the heart of George Town.Like stepping back in time.Ruby was a fantastic host from the minute we arrived to the minute we left . Clear informative instructions and insight into the local area and the whole island with maps provided. The property has a fantastic gallery selling local art and prints which was a wonderful surprise. Breakfast was also perfect and refined a refreshing change from huge buffet style portions! A wonderful stay all round. We stayed ground floor with beautiful plants and touches where the shower and toilet are kettle and fridge are also located there which is wonderful and quirky. If you want big standard contemporary fittings this is not for you !

Cons:

Nothing it was perfect for us

Pros:

Piękny, klimatyczny i przestronny apartament mieszczący się w budynku z 1927 r. Świetna lokalizacja - centralna ale jednocześnie przy bocznej, spokojnej uliczce. Duże, wygodne łóżko, sejf. Apartament wygląda lepiej niż na zdjęciach. Bardzo miła obsługa. Proste ale bardzo dobre śniadania serwowane w restauracji „Christoph’s” ( do wyboru : herbata / kawa - bardzo dobra, jajka - na różne sposoby, sałatka ze świeżych owoców, sok, musli / jogurt ). Jeśli kiedyś wrócimy na Penang to na pewno do Coffee Atelier.

Cons:

Wymeldowanie do 11.00. Mogłoby być godzinę dłuższe. Ale w żadnym stopniu nie zmienia to doskonałej oceny obiektu.
