Kudos to Chris and the team for the great restoration work done to make the colonial black and white house cosy and comfortable. However, there is some room for improvement. 1. Light sleepers beware. The house is situated in a residential area, where there is a rooster(s) that starts cockadoodling at 4.30 am and only stops around 6.30am. this happened... more

I agree with most of the nice things stated in the previous reviews especially about the friendlyness of staff and owner. There are a few areas were there is room for improvement in my opinion. - The beds/mattresses are rock hard - We were charged an addittional RM30 for each breakfast for our two year old daughter... Very unusual in... more

Clove Hall is an attractive black-and-white house which has been very well restored to make a very comfortable and well designed boutique hotel. Location is central (but quite quiet) and convenient for several nearby eating places though you will probably still need transport to get around the city which is quite large and not very pedestrian-friendly. Rooms are spacious, garden... more

We have just returned from 4 glorious nights at Clove Hall. It was our first trip to Penang and found it fascinating. We were travelling with 2 small children and had a room in the back of the hotel that was just perfect for a family. The hotel is wonderful, the breakfast is perfect and we took advantage of afternoon... more

If you're looking for something unique, i.e. not a big-chain-hotel type of experience in Penang, then this is the place. Classy interior, excellent service by the staff, what more can you ask? We definitely are going back there. Kudos to the owner and the whole staff for making sure our stay was enjoyable. more

Clove Hall, an original plantation house with a colourful history, has been beautifully restored to its former glory. It is intimate, private and relaxed, filled with antiques, and has a lovely garden and pool. Location is great - within easy walking distance of old Georgetown sights, and close to lots of local eateries and a couple of lively local hawkers... more

We landed in Penang after 24 hours of travelling and on the way to Clove Hall from the airport we hoped for a hassle free place to rest our heads for the night. We were not disappointed - Clove Hall is perfectly located, central position but away from the busy centre - fantastic rooms (with the best bed ever) -... more

I loved this place, we had the Clove Suite, it was just beautiful. Lots of lovely details and so calm and peaceful. The staff were attentive but not intrusive, the breakfast was fantastic and we spend a very content day relaxing here when the weather was particularly bad. It's not cheap, but it's worth it for a real treat. Do... more

We had read previous reviews on Clove Hall on Trip Advisor and were not disappointed when we arrived at this oasis. If you are looking for the large hotel with a gym and multiple restaurants this is not the place for you. This is an escape, a place where you feel like your staying with old friends in a private... more
