Hickory Penang Hill

Relaxing stay to connect with friends and family as there are plenty of space for you to hang out. There's also a large collection of books curated into a mini library and space to meditate as the cool breeze caresses the bamboo trees

I recently stayed at Hickory on Penang Hill and had a truly memorable experience. The location is serene and peaceful, ideal for those looking to unwind and enjoy nature. The weather was pleasant, and the surroundings were calm – perfect for a relaxing getaway. The sign boards were kept at the right place, so that visitors can reach the resort without any challenges. One of the most exciting parts was the 15-minute walk through the forest from the top of Penang Hill to the resort – a short but thrilling experience that nature lovers will appreciate. Raaj, the owner, was extremely kind and polite, making us feel genuinely welcome. The staff were equally friendly and helpful, even assisting us in preparing some of the meals we requested – which added a nice personal touch to the stay. While the train service stops at the nearby station only once every hour, it wasn’t a major issue. Just something to plan around. Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about the property – everything met or exceeded expectations. A special tip for visitors: Don’t miss “The Habitat” – a stunning natural attraction on Penang Hill. It’s a real treat for nature lovers. Guests at Hickory get a 20% discount, and Raaj can assist with this as well. If you're looking for peace, comfort, and warm hospitality in a natural setting, Hickory is a wonderful choice. Highly recommended

Lovely old fashioned house turned into a hotel. We came here as a family to revisit what used to be our grand uncle’s house up the hill. Still has its charm. Nice comfortable stay with a very homely feel. Wonderful views- you can see the sunrise in the morning over Georgetown. Breakfast was very good. We also had dinner there which was delicious! Peaceful location, a real getaway.
