This is an old building with beautiful wood floors. There is a communal fridge and dining table. It is walking distance to restaurants and pubs - right in the heart of the jelly bean houses!

We had a 4th floor room which was small but cozy with good breezes from windows on 3 sides. Small narrow staircase may be hard for some people or those with heavy luggage. Coffee or hot water are self serve on the first floor. Small fridge in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
A great location but since we had no car there was a lot of uphill walking. It was clean and comfy but very small room and tiny bathroom. We had to do three flights of stairs, no elevator. The kitchen area was nicely stocked but lacked a sink. Very nice sitting area. Ok for only 2 days.

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.

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.
