The Gaslight Heritage Residence - NEW

All the decorations are so authentic and classic. Enjoy the vibe in the house.

The furniture is so aging so need to pay extra attention.

My family and I had an incredible stay at The Gaslight Heritage Residence in Georgetown, Penang, from 25 to 28 January, 2025. Our host, Jóhan, was fantastic—he responded super quickly to all my messages and requests, which made everything so much easier. The heritage house is incredibly charming and beautifully restored. Don’t miss the outdoor bathroom—it’s a delight to take a shower in the spacious wooden tub! The residence is also very comfortable and conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and a laundromat. Just a heads up for anyone with mobility issues: there’s a steep flight of stairs to reach the first floor, and there’s no toilet up there. So, if you’re elderly or have trouble walking, keep this in mind. Overall, we had a wonderful time, and I would definitely recommend The Gaslight Heritage Residence for a unique stay in Georgetown. Thank you, Jóhan, for being such a great host! We can’t wait to come back!

There was absolutely nothing we didn't like about our stay.

an amazing house of history. as loved our stay thank you for sharing your family home with us

nothing what a special experience

Everything :) - location was convenient but still quiet enough in both the day and the night. Well and accurately furnished (my mum used to stay in her grandma’s place and she said everything reminded of her childhood).

There were mozzies. Best to provide more mozzie coils and lighters.

The house ambiance is really great and reminded me of my childhood spent in Penang's old British quarters. The decor and theme set the mood of old Penang—the bygone days and the mix of cultures from different races living together which is great feature of Malaysia. I would definitely suggest this to foreigners visiting Penang so they can relive the same experience.

Finding parking can be a chore during school holidays weeks and weekend, but that is typical for anywhere in Penang town isnt it!

I loved the location, size of the unit, cleanliness and response from host. There were 3 in 1s and filtered water provided. That was nice.

All rooms were on an upper level. To get to the rooms, it was a steep stairway with high steps. What was disappointing was that there were no toilets where the rooms were. So, in the middle of the night or anytime throughout the day when you were on the upper level, you will need to take the steep flight of steps down the dimly lit stairway to the toilet. Definitely not suitable for older, disabled or people with difficulties in walking up/down steep steps (like those in shophouses)

I not stay

Not good

Location is awesome. Not that crowded, quiet in the night. Very close to Jalan Sri Bahari, full of awesome food. House is incredible huge and clean.
