“The manager, Mr. Stavrou, was very friendly and laughed and joked with us, always said hello and was very helpful. The room was a good size, beds and towels changed everyday and room was clean. Location fantastic (3-5 minute walk from both Paddington and Lancaster Gate tube stations). Breakfast was good. Great budget hotel.”

The location of the Hotel is great, just a few minute walk to paddington tube station and lots of restaurants and pubs. The staff was really nice and friendly! Great value for your money! I didn´t like the smell of the towel and that there hasn´t been a towelmat(floor) for coming out of the shower...

Location. Very close to Paddington station and in a very quite and nice area. For one night and compared to other hotels it's a good compromise. Poor and old furnitures, bathroom included.

Neat and tidy older style hotel a short walk from Paddington Station. Staff were friendly and competant. Room was comfortable and more than adequate for this price level. Bathroom could do with an update.

The Gower Hotel is located approximately 5minutes away from Lancaster Gate tube station (or 10minutes from Edgeware Road), round the corner on Sussex Gardens, a long boulevard teeming with other bed-and-breakfasts hotels of equal size. Having previously stayed nearer the Edgeware Road End, the Gower Hotel is obviously nearer to Hyde Park, perfect for ambling down toward Kensington and the Royal Albert Hall, which was the main reason for our stay. The hotel itself was very well-presented, upon check-in the manager was very pleasant and friendly, and the rooms were a perfect size for a a small group of friends or a couple. The beds were comfortable, the shower-room was just as it should be, and the breakfast was wonderful, with a lovely dining area on the lower floor. Overall, this was a delightful little English b'n'b, and I will almost certainly be staying here again next time I'm in town! There was nothing remotely bad about the Gower Hotel. It was just right.

Friendly staff, proximity to tube. Asked for quiet room, was given one. Sigh... Where to start... When I book a cheap hotel in London (yes, 150 gbp for 2 nights is cheap), I don't expect anything. Usually, I am not disappointed. Shocked, yes, but not disappointed. I booked is hotel because one reviewer described it as remarkably clean. Sigh... The bathroom was covered in mold, certainly a health risk. Furniture dated from the sixties, maybe late fifties. Hard to tell. Tv did not work. Cold water came in one spurt, then stopped. Hot water came explosion- style. Was afraid to step into the shower, but surprisingly, water came at desired temperute and stayed that way. Hey, should have mentioned that in the positive column.... Breakfast was ok, considering I didn't expect anything. Breakfast only til 9 A.M. Checkout till 10:30. Guess they need all that time for cleaning... What I find truly annoying, is the lack of ethics on the part of the owners. Why not make the stay at least tolerable? Nobody will ever return, but I guess, they figure, there are 7 billion people on the planet, steadily increasing, so, we don't need return guests anyway... Guess the plan works....

Good value hotel, friendly staff. Character building over 4 floors plus basement (no lift) Very friendly & helpful staff. Have booked for two more consecutive weeks. Equidistant between Lancaster Gate Tube and Paddington Station/Tube. None particularly (bearing in mind price paid).

Paddington for that price? You can´t go wrong! Gower hotel charges you extra costs when paying with credit card. Bring cash to avoid this extraordinary uncommon behavior.

The staff were proffesional and friendly. The breakfast staff were very friendly and the kitchen/breakfast area was clean. There was a lot of choice for breakfast and was cooked nicely. The room was very dusty so i didn`t feel comfortable. If the room had been clean then I would recommend the hotel but unfortunately I would`nt stay again for this reason.

It was actually quite good value for money, especially as breakfast was included. It is suitable if you're looking for somewhere to put your head down for the night. Definitely more practical than luxury. If it's basics you want then this is the place. There was nothing in particular we didn't like. It is a budget hotel and was clean. If anything it just needed a lick of paint to overcome that outdated look
