Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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!

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.
