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.

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.
