I emailed gower house to get a price quote, I really liked the location and the price so I called to book for seven days. The first time I called someone mumbled something then said call me back in an hour and hung up. The secound and third time I called they said they couldn't take my reservation at that... More

There are some 4,000 rental rooms in the City of St. John's This is the off off season in Newfoundland. We were out of the country for our winter vacation. We do not start taking summer reservations until late winter. We are very sorry that we sent out a generic email response on our offerings. When we got back to... More

We arrived at St.John's and had booked a single room. The room was very nice and had a memory foam insert (liked it). However, as we were a couple and had my boyfriends daughter on occasion, it was too small. The owner offered us two rooms for a nominal charge (cheap). We accepted and were helped to move very quickly.... More

I recently relocated from Detroit and stayed at a B&B to economize while I was searching for an apartment. I stayed in a couple in the downtown area. The first (Abba Inn) had spacious rooms and convenient location. It was right in the heart of downtown St. John's, in the trendy historic properties area, within a 10 to 15 walk... More

We were a bit turned off by the unfriendly owners when we first arrived, I think they own 2-3 other properties and so it is more of a business proposition for them as opposed to other B&B owners who welcome you into their home. That aside, the location is perfect for walking around St John's, and you get the chance... More

We are so sorry on the greeting but we are a small operation and guests can come / go 24/7. Many flights come into the City after midnight. We are a little small operation. While we are one of the few City operators to have live in staff, they might be occupied or asleep, when a guest arrive. If a... More

Nice facilities, everything was of the best quality, linens, towels etc. The breakfast was always ready on time in the mornings and well prepared. The staff are helpful, for anyone not familiar with St. John's. The location is convenient, and we were able to walk everywhere. All in all, a great place to stay; I've been there many times, and...

For travellers who like a small, relaxed, clean and friendly B&B where one is welcomed like family, Gower Street House is quite a find. It is located in a historical street near the harbour, in a typically narrow charming rowhouse. The atmosphere at Gower Street House is "courteous, kind and casual" -- a milieu I prefer by far over stiff... More

An elegant facility with a location that enables easy access to you need to do in this city. Walk to just about anywhere of interest within minutes and very close to the business centre for the professional traveler. A very gracious way to stay and enjoy all that the area has to offer. More

When we arrived our first impresion was not a very positive one. The guy in charge was not there and he had left our keys in the entrance. The common areas such as the living room were smelly and extremelly untidy. There were shoes on the table where we would have breakfast the following day, and many other things were... More

A one day booking. We are honestly sorry these guests ended their stay in our Province unhappy. St John has a very small tourist season from late May until September. Expenses run all year long. Prices vary from off seasonal rates as low as $39, depending on availability in the City. We avoid telephone bookings, except for the elderly or... More

We spent 2 nights at the Gower Street House Bed and Breakfast in July. The location was wonderful as it is within 10 minutes walking of downtown shops and restaurants and very close to The Rooms. The rate for our room was $119 per night. This appears to be a very reasonable rate as other accommodations I researched were around... More
