Gower Hotel Reviews

The hotel was reasonably well located for the tube; Paddington station being a 5 minute walk away. The staff were efficient, helpful and friendly. The room was of a reasonable standard. It was of a size that one might expect for a hotel situated in Central London. It had it's own toilet, wash basin and shower. The room was clean and well heated. The breakfast room was also very clean and the food was of a good standard. All in all I enjoyed my stay at this hotel

Very good nothing to say bad....warm room,nice shower room,just strong +++
thanx

Looked OK ish from the outside, the reception decor was poor and a charge was levied on my credit card payment something I have never experienced at a hotel as the spend is way above the normal retail minimum of £10. The room was on the top floor with the steepest staircase climb I have yet to attempt, so steep we could have made good use of oxygen and crampons!! The room was dismal and the so called en suite was a dingy walk in cupboard and was scruffy to say the least.
All round a let down from a low expectation given its location and price.

I was delighted with my ground floor room, which was clean and roomy. The shower was good with considerable water pressure. The staff on duty were pleasant and helpful and went out of their way to accommodate my needs. As a place to stay at the height of the pre- Christmas rush it represented excellent value for money at £45.

Basic but very clean. En-suite bathroom was spotless. Staff very friendly and 24 hour desk. Paddington tube only 2 minutes away and plenty of restaurants. Only downside is no lift and I was on 3rd floor so you have to be fit!

This hotel was clean and welcoming with a great breakfast. Its not the Ritz, but you get what you pay for.

For all the wrong reasons. The mattress was possibly new in 1939. Whoever owns this beautiful period building should spend some money on it. Typical rich owners. Charge a premium and provide a sub standard room. The location of this hotel is superb. The room was appalling. The shower dirty. The toilet with a massive crack and dated around 1973. The breakfast was edible but only just. The girl serving was polite. The reception chap was polite. If I had a DJ's turntable, it would play something like this. RRRRRRRRRRR Rubbish. All for £78.00.

Let's start with what was good - the shower room was recently refitted and brand new. Everything, in fact, was very clean. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room, and breakfast was very good (I walked in and thought it looked a bit basic but it was super, freshly cooked by a charming lady).
The welcome left a lot to be desired - for some reason they were expecting 4 people under my booking and were very irritated just to get me.
The big problem, for me, was that there was NO heating, at all. And this was December. I know it's been a mild winter, but really.
I booked last minute, struggled to find anywhere, and it was clean and respectable. So if I was desperate again, I would stay again. But preferably in a warmer month.

Excellent, small and friendly. Highly recommended. Nice clean room. Helpful staff. Good breakfast.

The hotel could probably use a refurbishment but it is, clean, warm and very close to Paddington and transport links. The staff were incredibly helpful and it is close to central London and transport links.Also well situated for walking. Lots of cafe's and restaurants close by to suit anyone. If you are looking for value for money this is a good option.
