Clove Hall certainly lived up to its excellent reviews. Surrounded by walls on a quiet street, with trees and shrubs and a lovely pool, it feels like a step back to an earlier era (with modern plumbing and a/c!) The central hall of the main house is airy and light, with interesting colonial and comfortable furniture and a wonderful collection... More

A truly delightful B&B, very colonial yet blende with a mixture of Malaysian and Chinese decor. Excellent service coupled with very romantically scented rooms. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to visit again!

Recently spent a few days here, and we were not disappointed with our choice. So quiet and relaxing, just what we wanted, and yet only a 15 minute or so walk away from the centre of Georgetown. Comfortable suite, attentive staff. The room would have been perfect if there had been a mini fridge, an in-room safe and a wastepaper... More

I chose Clove Hall for several reasons - mostly because I wanted to stay somewhere small, personal and full of character. Clove Hall certainly ticks all those boxes. Situated on a peaceful residential street just a 10 minute walk away from the crumbling old shophouses of the UNESCO-protected area of Georgetown, Clove Hall is a fabulous little escape from a...

Clove Hall is a little piece of heaven. Whether you want to chill by the pool at this beautifully restored home, sipping iced water and contemplating how soon you can legitimately move onto a gin and tonic, or to use Clove Hall as a base for exploring the sights,sounds and cuisines of Penang then this is the place to stay....

A wonderful homestay exerience with fantastic service, immaculate grounds and a mansion that is directly out of an Agatha Christie movie. A small black poodle inhabits this mansion and is very friendly and provides hours of family entertainment. Staff are always ready to advise on the best local restaurants and sites. Geoge Town (two words) is a quaint town frozen... More

All previous reviews are true. Feels very private and relatively quiet given the hubbub of the town. Wonderful design details and friendly employees. Bit of a spooky hike into town with rubbish sidewalks etc, but good to get a feel of the place. raj's poodle, George, gives friendly licks and then steals your socks! Highly recommended despite canine kleptomania.

My husband and I and our golden retriever came by car and stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Clove Hall is situated in the quiet suburb and easy walking distance to Gurney Drive. It is a restored colonial bungalow set in a beautiful garden. We stayed at Clove Suite which is an ample-sized room for the 3 of us.... More

We had two fabulous nights at Clove Hall at the end of March. Jo and all the staff were incredibly hospitable and we were made to feel at home from the minute we arrived. Our suite was perfectly sized for the four of us and the children loved the pool at the end of a busy day exploring the city.... More

We have just arrived home from our wonderful holiday in Penang. Clove Hall was a major part of what made it so great, a peaceful, relaxing place to come back to after a day exploring Georgetown. The beautifully appointed heritage property is set back behind secure walls, in a tranquil garden with an inviting pool that is extremely enticing on... More
