Coffee Atelier

Was für eine tolle Erfahrung und was für ein Charme dieses kleinen Boutique-Gasthofs in der Altstadt von George Town. Ruby machte unseren Aufenthalt mit ihrer herzlichen Gastfreundschaft zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Sie war immer da und bereit zu helfen. Der Gasthof selbst war so einfach zu nutzen und hatte einen charmanten Charakter! Das Frühstück war großartig und wir waren in der Nähe von so vielem. Wenn wir wieder in George Town sind, werden wir hierher zurückkehren.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss, das wie ein kleines Zuhause war! Viel Platz für Taschen, zum Auspacken, kleiner Kleiderschrank und Safe und ein Schreibtisch. Das Schlafzimmer war bequem, hatte eine gute Klimaanlage und einen Ventilator. Draußen hatten wir einen kleinen Tisch, an dem wir unseren Morgenkaffee genießen konnten. Wir waren zwischen vielen schönen Pflanzen und viel Sonnenlicht. Die Dusche und die Toilette waren auch draußen. Wir bekamen Flipflops, jeden Tag Handtücher und kostenloses Wasser. Es gab einen kleinen Kühlschrank. Kaffeebohnen und Tee wurden jeden Tag mit einer Kaffeepresse geliefert. Sehr schöne Kaffeebohnen. Zu unserer großen Freude war das Frühstück inbegriffen. Wir gingen ein paar Schritte zu Christoph's, wo wir eine gute Auswahl hatten. Warme und kalte Speisen, Müsli, Obst, Toast und Eier, Würstchen und Speck. Ruby und ihre Schwester waren so nett, so zugänglich und hilfsbereit. Wir fragten nach Wäscheservice und Ruby organisierte alles für uns. Sie ist eine sehr freundliche, nette und hilfsbereite Frau und Coffee Atelier hat so viel Glück, sie an der Spitze ihres Geschäfts zu haben. Alle Reisefragen, Standortanfragen, Essensempfehlungen wusste Ruby. Sie führte uns zu dem unglaublichsten indischen Restaurant, in dem wir oft gegessen haben. Sie grüßte uns immer, wenn sie uns sah, wie ein zweites Zuhause. Eines Morgens regnete es monsunartig und es war herrlich, draußen in unserem kleinen Garten zu sitzen und dem Regen zuzuhören. Wir hatten auch einen Fernseher. Das Zimmer war geräumig, gut klimatisiert und großzügig ausgestattet. Coffee Atelier ist gut gelegen. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten in Penang können von hier aus zu Fuß erreicht werden. Wir würden die Zimmer im Erdgeschoss empfehlen, da wir sie geräumiger finden. Es ist sehr schön, draußen auf der Straßenseite zu sitzen und dem Treiben zuzusehen, obwohl es bei unserem Besuch ziemlich ruhig war. Viele schöne Pflanzen und ein zweites Zuhause. Sehr komfortabel und wir würden Coffee Atelier auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

Coffee Atelier, nestled in the heart of Georgetown, provided a delightful four-night stay from August 7-12. The historic shophouse, adorned with traditional motifs, instantly captivated us. We were warmly welcomed by Judy and the friendly resident cats, creating a cozy atmosphere from the start. Our spacious room boasted a charming decor that transported us back in time, allowing us to experience the old-world charm of Penang. The location was incredibly convenient, with numerous historical sites like the Peranakan Houses, Chulia Street, Armenian Street, Chew Jetty, Penang Little India, and Blue Mansion within walking distance. For those seeking nightlife, the area offers a variety of bars to explore. While the breakfast was simple, the mosquitoes proved to be a minor inconvenience, especially when enjoying the courtyard or taking a bath. Overall, our stay at Coffee Atelier was a delightful experience. Judy's warm hospitality and the quaint ambiance of the shophouse made it a truly memorable getaway.

We loved staying here. After moving hotels we booked in at short notice. It was a relief to get such a warm welcome. The rooms are charming with traditional furniture. A beautiful heritage building that made us feel like we were guests in someone’s home. Great location, with loads of restaurants, shops and coffee bars nearby. We were sad to leave. Ruby was so lovely and looked after us really well. Big hugs when we left. Thank you to Ruby and Judy for their personal touch.

All I can say is WOW. This place was truly unique, and thoroughly exceeded our expectations. I booked it after having seen the photos, but they don’t do it justice. Coffee Atelier is a beautifully restored historic building, which used to be a shop in Colonial Georgetown. The rooms have been restored and furnished with pieces that seem to fit the original period. The atmosphere is really special. The entrance also operates as a Gallery, and we purchased some lovely works of art. The staff on site were wonderful, and went above and beyond to make our stay special. They offered excellent recommendations for restaurants and sites to see. I was surprised to get all of this for the amount that we paid (as there were more expensive options that did not seem anywhere near as nice). Truly excellent value for money.

Coffee Atelier was one of the best places we stayed in our trip through Malaysia, but also one of my favourites for a long time. Perfect location in the old town, easy access to touristy things like love lane, cheong fatt tze blue mansion and hawker stalls. The room itself was spacious, super clean, bathroom outdoors was well decorated and maintained. AC was great for escaping the heat, I thought it was pretty quiet too. Breakfast in the pretty cafe next door was an excellent start to the day. But most of all it was the thoughtful and lovely Ruby and Judy who made our stay perfect. They were attentive, friendly, super knowledgeable about the area and just so accomodating. I would stay at CA just to see them again!

It’s a charming hotel in a historic building that is well maintained. The location is convenient for sightseeing, wandering about and for restaurants and cafes. There is an restaurant, Christoffs, right at the corner which has the breakfast that comes with the room. We had dinner there one night and it was excellent. Finally, I can’t say enough about how helpful the staff Ruby and Judy were!

Saw a painting I liked at the gallery and decided to buy it after returning back to my home country. Contacted them to see if I can get them to deliver it and had the best service. Very helpful, prompt and honest. They really went out of their way. Received the painting in tip top condition. Very happy indeed.

Fantastic stay! Absolutely charming hotel and hotel rooms, everything you need is there. Perfectly mixes modern needs with an authentic shophouse experience. The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful with great recommendations for places to dine. Location is great and Christoph’s breakfast delicious. Highly recommended hotel.
