Hickory Penang Hill

almost everything was good, met expectations for a quiet stress free time off.

DO NOT under any circumstance book Hickory Bungalow on Penang Hill. Our stay in this delightful bungalow was destroyed by the owner renting out the rest of the bungalow to a dozen low life Penang drunks who proceeded to break every rule and party through the night. My family faced abuse, insults and intimidation as the night wore on. The noise carried on until 4 and sleep was out of the question. The staff cowered in fear, the owner’s daughter was powerless, and my wife spent most of the night ready to call the police. If we could have got a jeep to get away in the night, we would have. It was dreadful, and apparently not the first time this has happened. If the owner prioritises drunk ****** over people who actually want to enjoy what the hill has to offer, and puts guests in such difficult positions, he does not deserve your business.

Stayed 2 nights with a group of friends. Will definitely go back. Glorious renovation of an historic building. Food was beyond expectations. View is extraordinary. Staff really helpful. Rooms very comfortable. Took Penang Hill train to the top then wandered down enjoyingthe mist and rain. Path A to the end. Then over the little bridge you can see below roadside. At end of that path keep going down;it's steep. Go past the signs to the train station and you'll see Hickory signs. Thanks Raj for helping me when I got lost in mist. Friend's took jeep there.
