Gower Guest House

there was nothing obviously bad about this property, although on my final night there were some teens partying in the neighbourhood, but that is of no fault of the hotel and they did calm down within a reasonable time. the rooms were clean and cozy, and with the location being right in downtown it was very convenient for what I was there for.

Bon emplacement, calme Propreté des murs laisse a désirer Lit très inconfortable Bonne propreté des serviettes

Checked into our room and figured our room was clean. Only exception is that there were a dirty pair of underwear and T-shirt on the floor. Made a pot of coffee in the morning and had a few cups. Coffee pot with old coffee sat there for 2 days. Garbage can was full and no room for the old coffee filter. Garbage can was also starting to stink. Also had the pleasure of waking up at 2:30 in the morning due to 5 Police cars and a Swat team outside the Guest house addressing a situation a few doors down. Other than that the location was good

Very convenient love the setup clean

Bed needs to be changed out for better

Cute room in Jelly Bean row. Close to restaurants, downtown, and airport.

Room 2- a small drab colourless room. Small pedestal table/chair - fine. 2 night tables - old and sad looking. On the bed an unenclosed slab of soft - about 4” - foam. Within an hour my hip was in burning pain. I rolled it off the bed which then impeded my access to the window. The mattress was soft/old but at least it didn’t cause any pain. The pillows OK but no pillow protectors - unsanitary. The bedding lovely, soft and smelled nice. I did sleep well. The room felt clean except for the bottom of the shower stall which needed a good scrubbing. I used shower shoes. The soap provided was too strong smelling. The small shampoo tubes were nice. The towels were small and thin but clean and nice smelling. I didn’t enjoy the confusing Roku streaming TV service. News was days old. This is not a B&B. There is a dining area with a table - a fridge - a coffee bar. Coffee, tea, sugar are available - no milk - no cereal as in some pictures. Kettle - coffee maker and toaster available. Crumbs on the toaster when I arrived were still there 7 days later. No sink. Water dispensed from a water bottle. Use a cup to obtain the water and pour it into the kettle or coffeemaker. NO housekeeping. No caretaker seen in 7 days. Self check in & out. Good location for town - strong walking legs needed for walking up and down hills. Easier to use 2nd floor door to go in and out. Hill to parking area easier than 3 doors and stairs. Restaurants expensive. Hop on/off bus from Alt hotel best value.

I liked that the room was right downtown. It would have been great to have had a bit larger room, but the hostoric nature of the building made up for it, however. It seems the building is due for a rennovation to make it a bit more contemporary. As it stands, it is very “from the 90s.” Prompt service response to my emails.

Great location and parking

Thanks for the stay

I loved how quaint it was but the bed could have been better

Great location. Nice guesthouse. Very small bathroom but sink needs cleaning behind taps.

Walking distance to Water St./downtown.

Great location. Quiet. Helpful manager. Comfortable bed. Minor negative was no sink in the kitchen so had to wash the coffee pot out in my room! Appreciated the window AC.

Close to downtown. Only problem is the steep hills. It would be the same anywhere though.

Parking was a bit of a hassle. I had indicated the need for a parking permit in my pre check in messages but didnt get one until I called the caretaker to request the next day. The room was clean enough but bathroom door in need of repair. Location was excellent...walkable to downtown

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.

Bath room is too small

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!

Location was great. Room was quiet Kitchen set up was confusing, needs a sink
