I can't say enough good things about 180 Gower St. Everything was spot on. From its cleanliness, to its breakfasts (homemade cod cakes and blueberry pancakes!), to the location (two minutes walk to downtown - granted, St John's is not a huge place), to the decor, to the new mattresses, to the price (I traveled off season, which undoubtedly helped),...

St. John's is quite a small ity and pretty concentrated in the downtown core. I was smack in the middle of the brightly colored historic housing. I wondered whether City Council dictated the colors but was told they only dictated that homes be "painted" Pretty straight forward answer. It was also much milder than I had expected.The houses serve as... More

No issues with anything. Room was clean and comfortable, shower water was hot, windows had black out drapes, everything was quiet and just nice. Some great art work on display. I even recognized some of the artists. I had a room in front where I could watch people coming and going into those beautiful brightly colored row houses. It was... More

This B&B is located at the middle of and at a walking distance to everything that St. John's has to offer. Friendly and accommodating staff, clean and comfortable rooms made my stay very pleasant. I am looking forward to visiting again.

I found this place at the last minute while looking for a hotel for a 3 night stay in St John's and I am extremely happy I did. Great location close to downtown. The rooms were fantastic. Very clean and comfortable, and had everything I could hope for. Full bathroom with all the supplies, no noise at night. Staff were... More

Gower House is a really cozy place. Very friendly and helpful staff. It was a very pleasant stay especially that the room was very clean, bright and comfy. Not only the place was great but its location is very convenient, located in the heart of St. John's, minutes away from everything. And what's amazing is that they sent me an... More

Part of the fun of staying in BnB's is the unique interaction with the owner/manager, and was alittle taken aback when I wasn't greeted in person and left to find my own way to my room. The room was on the small side but pleasant. The en suite reflected the size of the room, however there were some personal touches... More

What we find fascinating, after all these years, is that the people who have an actual problem and take the time to alert us have always been so gracious about it. We do not have floor drainage systems in our washrooms like the big hotels so if a guest doesn't pull across the shower curtain in the rooms above, then... More

After finding that St John's accommodation was pretty full, what with festivals and summer tourism, we were pretty happy to book 2 nights in this nice little B&B two blocks back from Water Street in downtown St. John's. We loved the laid back approach of this place. We had booked for 2 nights, but had to move from a smaller... More

What a lovely kind review at a time when we were having major renovations. Newfoundland has a very narrow window for exterior work if you want the paint and everything to dry. We had to repair the roof over the back portion of our property which meant taking out the ceiling. We tried to have everything down as quickly as... More

My wife and I stayed at one of the Gower Street B&B's last month. The rooms were nicely decorated, we had our own bathroom, and it was clean and quiet. The common dining room/kitchen and living rooms, which we shared with two other bedrooms, were very pleasant. One of the other rooms was occupied by my sister the other by... More
