Gower Hotel

the proximity to railway station.quiet area.bed linen was changed daily,clean towels were also clean every day

room was very tired,wallpaper needed replacing some of it was already off the walls.bathroom had lots of mould this could have been removed very easily with a good clean.staff took far too long in answering the front door,the first time they took so long that we were actually worried that the place was closed and they hadnt informed us.

Opportunity to leave car outside hotel offroad overnight and during the day at reasonable cost for London. £10 overnight. £5 for half day until 6.00.P.M. Bed linen and towels very clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast - would have liked some pork or beef in sausages instead of mainly cereal, otherwise very good.

Room 404. Shower flow rate had limited control - needed repair or replacement. Bathroom shelf loose - could not use. No batteries in tv remote.

good location, near to the Tube Paddington station, personnel is very friendly and helpful

Friendly staff, location (Paddington Station and busses taking you to Oxford Street within 5 minutes!), room was cleaned every day, tea cooking facilities in room, it's a good hotel if you leave early in the morning and return late at night and just use the room for sleeping!

no elevator, breakfast from 6:30 to 9, closet had a weird smell, so we didn't unpack our bags, ugly curtains

We liked that it was near the tube and in London.

Didn't like to pay in advance of stay! (We are not criminals.) We found the beds uncomfortable and the covers had cigarette burns. The window was broken and dangerous to open as it was large and hung by one rope (instead of two). Curtains were dirty. The bathroom sink was almost unusable as there was a tiny shelf over it. (Couldn't wash out one shirt in it.) The shower was ok but the soap dish was broken off and we had to balance it on the tap handles to use it. Fire alarm went off for no reason and frightened me and the kids. Wanted to eat breakfast outside but had to eat inside the cramped dining area. Breakfast was not so good, so we went and bought food on other days (and where we could sit comfortably.)

Hotel location was excellent, Breakfast was nice.

Stairs were a bit narrow, which was a problem with our luggage.

The staff at the Gower, and the sister hotel The Athena where one of us actually stayed, were very friends and helpful throughout. I would recommend them.

All was well.

well located,reasonable price,

The staff was very friendly, we loved the fact that there was always someone at reception 24/7. We had an excellent location, close to the tube, bus and Hyde Park. Housekeeping cleaned our room every day, we got tea and coffee in our room and lots of fresh towels. I would recommend it.

Breakfast was a bit on the early side, we're not used to eating breakfast before nine, but the coffee and tea in our room made up for it.

The hotel is placed near tube, local restaurants and town center

Very poor facilities, overpriced, too small capacity in the breakfast room, we had to queue up for breakfast

Lovely location, polite staff.

Water pressure in the bathroom.

good size room

Very small breakfast portion- and no fresh milk

Staff very friendly and helpful. We asked for a triple and had a 'proper' triple, not a double and single. Breakfast freshly cooked to order.

Steep stairs up to the room (we were on the third floor) but not a major problem as we had little luggage. Only powdered milk in the bedrooms - ok for coffee but not so good for tea!
