A little piece of Penang History”
What a fabulous place.. we were greeted by the most friendly ladies who made us fresh fruit juices, checked us in, took our bags to our room and then made sure we knew where we were what we could see and do locally and great recommendations for dinner. What a wonderful room/suite, spotless , a converted coffee shop. Every effort has been made to keep the rooms traditional and it works wonderfully.. Everything is of a high standard. What I loved the most about our stay was the outdoor bathroom and court yard.. this was amazingly clean and tidy a little oasis!’ Total fun, I could have lived here! Breakfast didn’t disappoint either, fresh juices wonderful coffee and great food. We absolutely loved it here!!’

Highly recommend this hotel. It’s fantastic. ”
The hotel is amazing. The rooms have been restored beautifully and we had a whole shophouse to ourselves. Everything was really clean, comfy beds and soft sheets. The bathroom is as lovely as the rest of the rooms and stocked with amazing natural products. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and breakfast is great. No hesitation at all in recommending this.

Unique and special accommodation”
We loved the Coffee Atelier. Ruby and the staff were excellent - friendly and helpful with great advice for restaurants. The room is so unique and beautiful. It was kept in it's original design so you feel surrounded by history. The hotel is located in the middle of the historical district and great restaurants and attractions are easily walkable. I highly recommend this hotel.

Stay in a colonial/Malaysian museum/gallery”
We had such a nice stay from the moment we arrived. Even though we stay for 1 night, we had a chance to explore the cafe, the gallery, the rooms, and read about the hotel's history from the staff as well as the owner. I'd highly recommend this hotel as much as the other great hotels in Penang.

Quirky, lovely and fantastic location”
I really liked this place. Bursting with character and right in the heart of historic Georgetown within easy walking distance of all the best sights and eating places. They've made this place quite special - keeping all the character and historic features while adding modern comforts. The cafe has great food and I love that the included breakfast is available any time the cafe is open rather than just a narrow morning window. Very friendly staff too. Thoroughly recommend.

Cozy place with great service”
Former shoplots from 1927 have been converted into a hotel, where the rooms still breathe the history for the last century. Right in the middle of town, with easy access to shops and bars, but far enough not to be bothered by noise. Very nice staff.

Perfect hotel! ”
We booked Coffee Atelier in Penang for two nights. The staff of the hotel is very friendly and will help you with everything. We have had a room on ground floor and was fantastic! It was spacious, clean and refurbished very nicely. Breakfast was good, also the coffee and wine were very good. Rubilyn who works there (and also the other staff), are more than happy to inform you about things to do in Penang and will help arrange. If you are interested, feel free to ask her if you can see the gallery of the owner, beautiful paintings are stored. We will definately go back to coffee atelier.

Location, quality and attitude - Perfect!”
The most notable aspect of our stay at the Coffee Atelier was the communication with the owner Stefan. His replies were immediate and no questions remained unanswered. Nothing was too much trouble and every aspect of our stay was efficiently organised. The history of the hotel is extremely interesting and the location in the heart but quiet part of UNESCO heritage Georgetown is perfect. Our meals were tasty and perfect size and the staff led by Rubi were just fantastic. This was a great stay and we have no hesitation in recommending the Coffee Atelier to our friends and the Agoda community.

Great BnB in World Heritage site”
The Coffee Atelier consists of five old Chinese shop houses next to each other - two have two suites each, one has a little gallery, one has the reception / greeting area and the corner one hosts the actual café which would also be the place where we had breakfast. The suites have all the necessary amenities without destroying the charm of the old shop houses - this means that you do have AC, fans, a flatscreen TV (never used - why would you need this in Penang?), a fridge etc but the paint on the wall or the wooden stairs was left in its original style. The furniture was early 20th century Chinese style, the bed was super comfortable and the bathrooms were wide and open. Our breakfast was delicious and we did enjoy the coffee a lot. We enjoyed our stay in Penang a lot and having the Coffee Atelier as a base was just perfect due to its central location and the friendly staff. We ended up having drinks at the end of the night in front of our house and were very glad we explored this beautiful spot for a weekend.

A personable guest house with a colonial touch”
We had a short stay but with a lasting impression of Coffee Atelier. The hotel kitchen made exception for us but extending their open hour past 10pm the night we arrived as our train (hence the ferry) got delayed. After knowing we had to leave very early the next morning, they decided to let us enjoy the breakfast included in the room price. The Swiss owner approached then to have a good chat, introducing nice spots in the town. The taxi was a bit difficult to get in the next morning, I got an idea to seek help from a random neighbor, a nice speaking local Chinese. He then offered to drive us to the ferry point just in time to catch the departure time. We'll definitely use the hotel should we have a chance to visit Penang again.

Rustic old-world charm, perhaps a bit too rustic.”
coffee atelier is the former straits collection, and comprises of several rooms spread over a couple of old colonial shophouses. each room takes pretty much an entire floor, excluding the entrance area. the ground floor room we stayed in had a dresser/entrance area, a bedroom, and a large bathroom/covered courtyard area. some may find the rustic design and unique shower/toilet cubicles interesting, others may feel the age and the crampness of said cubicles unappealing. the rooms come with typical modern hotel amenities, such as a minibar/coffee facilities, air-conditioning, wi-fi, a flat screen tele and limited astro channels. the bed is very comfortable, and has a mosquito net to ensure a restful sleep. being a shophouse, the room has a secure metal rear door which leads to an alleyway behind, and as such should never be opened. however, one can possibly be disturbed by the sounds from the back alley, especially with the proximity of several restaurants nearby which have kitchens opening into the alley. as it is commercial noise, at night there is only the sounds of occasional vehicles a distance away. staying in a colonial shophouse is an experience. coffee atelier has maintained what the previous owner has built, and from the reactions of foreign travellers, it is clear that this old-world charm has something valuable to offer. don't expect a bright and spotless boutique room - what you get is walls that have 100 year old paint peeling from them, antique furniture and a layout suited for life a century ago. which, really, may not be a bad thing if you're keen on completely immersing yourself into historic penang.
