Regular room , clean sheets but dirty carpets and dust under the bed. The room was hot even with the window air conditionning. The location is very central. We really enjoyed being walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Quiet guesthouse

An old historic guesthouse, however we never met any of the staff, and only saw two other guests fleetingly.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay at the Gower Guest House and would definitely stay there again. The room was clean, it's self check in and check out and instructions were easy to follow. The housekeeper allowed me to leave my bag there, hours before check in. The location is excellent, walking distance to the rooms, the vibrant downtown streets.

JEAN CHRISTOPHE, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

I never got an email with check in instructions (which Expedia says will happen) and was unable to get ahold of anyone associated with the property. In the end I knocked on the door and another guest opened the door to let me in, and told me about my envelope at the front door. Once inside, everything was great! And the place is super walkable and in a lovely neighbourhood.

Wasnt very clean. Bathroom sink would fill up and look like it wasnt going to drain. It did eventually. 1 light above the bed to read by, switch was broken. Could hear other guest really easily. Was woken one morning to somwone whistling next door.

Things do not always appear as they seem

The location was good if you want to stay downtown. The room was super small. The pictures on the site definitely did not reflect what it actually was. The shower was very small, there was a hole in the shower head that sprayed water all over the floor; there was only a small table in the corner with one chair so the second person had to sit on the bed. The checkin was fine, we got in late and the instructions that had been emailed prior to were great; but we never seen our host during the stay. I will not be staying here again.

Amazing place to stay

Comfy, warmth and accessible and the view is amazing. Well recommended and love to go back once I have chance again.

Small, quaint, quiet, great location!
melissa, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

We had the room on the top floor. It was a nice sized room, with a very comfortable queen size bed. It had a window air conditioner which cooled the room to an adequate temperature but still a little warm. The bathroom is tiny with the shower on the opposite side of the room, which worked well. There was a large kitchen area on the main floor and the addition of a water cooler was great. Overall, it was clean snd comfortable and worked well for what we needed.

Jodi, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This property is in an excellent location, easily walkable to the harbour and all the restaurants and bars of Water and George Street, and even walkable if you’re more ambitious, to the hike from Battery neighborhood up to Signal Hill and of course to the Rooms. The room itself was quite small and a bit dated, but if your intention is just to sleep there, it did the trick.
Lynn, 4-night trip

At the price charged I could book quickly. It was quiet and warm, stairs involved. A spacious room, comfortable bed.
Linda, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed my stay at Gower Guest House! Very quiet, but it was April! The attendant cleaner always took away the dirty dishes! Nice. One thing was that the kitchen, which I used, had no sink to rinse things or get water, and the available water bottle ran empty on the last day. There wasn't many breakfast options, but I brought quick oats and prepared them in the microwave. Nice place!
