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.

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

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

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

Stayed for 2 nights at one of the suite, very beautiful room and gorgeous bathroom. The building is not easy to find as it is somewhat hidden along one of the alleys- it helps if you have a car. But upon finding it, I was awed by its beauty. The owner does not stay here but they're in during the... More
