HP • Couple Trip
Hickory, with its beautiful views overlooking Jelutong and the Penang strait, is a unique guest house due to its location on Penang Hill and it's accessibility from the lower tunnel station of the funicular railway. The heritage hiking trail also passes right by Hickory. It has a beautiful garden where guests can take their meals and take in the views, and it has a dining room, a patio, and a first floor balcony area were guests can eat, drink, read, and play games. All of these areas are wonderfully decorated and furnished. Unlike other guest houses and hotels on the Hill, Hickory also has its own restaurant, so guests can have dinner onsite in the evenings. There is a beer fridge and a small selection of wines for sale. Breakfast is also provided, but, for us, it was not possible to be arranged earlier than 8 am. Our room was basic, showing its age, not particularly well-designed, and with only a fan rather than AC. In December, the temperature was not an issue; however, the bed was not very comfortable. All in all, Hickory may be the best choice for guests depending on what arrangements they can make for meals, how much they enjoy the shared areas for relaxation, and how fussy they are about room comfort.
