Hickory Penang Hill

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hickory on Penang Hill, and it was a truly memorable experience. The location is incredibly tranquil – a perfect retreat for peace-loving individuals looking to escape the noise of the city. Surrounded by nature, the weather was pleasant and refreshing throughout our stay. One of the highlights of my trip was the 15-minute walk down through the forest from the top of Penang Hill to the resort – a thrilling and scenic trail that makes you feel completely immersed in nature. The sign boards were kept at the right place for guests to reach the resort. A special mention goes to Raaj, the owner, who was exceptionally kind, polite, and welcoming. The staff were also wonderful – they went out of their way to assist us, even helping prepare food upon request, which made our stay feel homely and relaxed. One minor challenge is that the train service to the station near the resort runs only once every hour, so planning your travel times is important. That said, the peace and setting more than make up for it. Don’t miss “The Habitat”, an incredible attraction on Penang Hill. It's a must-visit for nature lovers, offering a breathtaking walk through untouched rainforest. As a bonus, guests staying at Hickory can enjoy a 20% discount, which Raaj can help arrange. If you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled escape with warm hospitality, Hickory is the place to be. Highly recommended!

It is a bungalow built on 1929. Itself is a beautiful building worthy to take many photos. It has best city view and far sea view during day and night! It has best sun rise view. It is inside Penang hill, so a good start for hiking around, to visit nearby bungalows. It provides very good food, so some local people come here by train for just having a meal. It has a very nice owner Raj. Do chat with him, if you can meet him. It has two lovely dogs. Do play with them. It provides many free instance drinks.

The breakfast options were amazing. We chose their western breakfast. It was so good. The place was so relaxing and it felt like home. The staffs were very helpful and friendly. Their library has lots of book options as well. we definitely enjoyed this stay and we would really recommend.

It's great stay at Hickory. My family members love it and would like to come back again in the future. The owner is friendly and the food is good. We love the scenery from the garden. It's so easy to see sunrise from the garden and having meal in their garden is awesome. It's a great place that I would recommend to others for family gathering!
