Clove Hall

Location
Clove Hall is set in tropical gardens, about 10 minutes by trishaw from the Georgetown area of Penang, and a 30-minute drive from the Batu Feringghi beaches, on the west coast of Malaysia.

By Air:
Fly to Penang International Airport. Click on the links below for a list of airlines which fly here.

From the Airport
It is about a 30-minute drive to Georgetown. The hotel can arrange a transfer; see Rates. Alternatively a taxi will cost around RM40, or you can take the airport shuttle from the airport to Prangin Mall - then it is a 5-minute taxi ride or 10/15 minute walk.

By Ferry:
Cross-channel ferry services connect Georgetown and Butterworth (originally the only link between the island and the mainland until the bridge was built in 1985). High-speed ferries to the resort island of Langkawi, Kedah and Medan are also available. A taxi from the ferry port will cost around RM12.

Getting around Penang
Taxis can be flagged down, but this gets more difficult after dark, or the hotel can call you a limousine.

By Scooter:
A scooter is best, if you can bear it. They can be rented for about RM25 for the semi-automatic and RM30 for the automatic from the fleapits and visa agents along Chulia Street, but remember to bring an international driver’s license.

By Bus:
There are buses, but they may be too complicated to work out. As a rule of thumb, if you’re stuck outside Georgetown and a bus going vaguely northwest says ‘Jetty’, hop on.
