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.

Mark, 3-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.

Quiet guesthouse

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

Nice little place right in the heart of downtown St. John's. Walking distance to George Street, Duckworth Street, and Water Street. Two parking spots in the back.
