The Gower Guest House perfectly matched our needs and fully met our expectations. The rooms were extremely comfortable, and the location was both quiet and central. The hosts were exceptionally accommodating. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone visiting St. John's.

Excellent location - part of jelly bean houses.
Good for the price. With some interior refreshment It would be more attractive.
Stay away! The toilet didn’t flush properly, the only chair in the room was broken, the window screens were broken, the carpet was stained and stinky, and the bed was unsleepable…felt like sleeping on a marshmallow. And there is a general odour of mould, mildew and rot. It’s a dive!

For seniors trying to carry their luggage up 3 flights of stairs is very inconvenient
Rooms very small
Great house on jellybean row, close to downtown dining and stores. No breakfast options available.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.
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.
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.
