The hotel has at least 2 BIG problems: 1. The head of the shower is impossible to use (Room 202); 2. There are insects which bite us so badly. We returned from London from 4 days and we had to go to doctor twice to treat the insects’ bites on our bodies. I don't want to mention the costs and... more

Stayed here for 1 night to be close to our family before they returned to Australia. It is close to Paddington station (trains to Heathrow) but it didn't have much else going for it. We were on the top floor, and because it was just a one nighter fortunately we had no luggage as the stairs would have killed us... more

This hotel is exactly what you pay for it, its not the hilton or the ritz but its cheap. Its basically just ur average bed and breakfast, dated/in need of refurb/basic but if u put all the to one side it is a good hotel. We stayed for 3 nights and did not hav a problem at all.

Stayed at the Gower when visiting London from the US. Made my booking monthes in advance, and confirmed reservations before arrival, but when I arrived they had no record of our reservations, and denied they had ever spoken to us. We had to sit in the lobby for 4 hours until they straightened it out. We had originally booked a... more

The dour receptionist quickly offered me a room at the Athena (an upgrade) which had no hot water. The staff let us... more

It was our first trip to London and I had done quite a bit of research so I had a fair idea of what to expect for value for dollar. Our first night was spent in one of rooms closest to the main road. It was a bit noisy as had to have to window open for air. However the... more

I booked one night at the Gower Hotel for this week end. However, I just received an e mail cancelling my booking, apparently because my cards details were unvalid. The hotel pretends to have e mailed me last week end in order for me to confirm my banking details but I never received any e mail from them. They had... more

I have given this hotel a neutral rating as when we arrived they sent us across the road to their sister hotel, the Athena, without explanation. And that was pretty bad for a supposed 3 star hotel, so Lord alone knows what the 2 star Gower was like to stay in. The very brief period we were standing at the... more

After Travelling the U.S. for nearly 3 months and staying in about 30 different hotels priced from $35 to $200 anight we arrived in London with this hotel pre booked, you pay in advance when you arrive at the desk £90 anight for a room that will sleep 5 people,(obviously so you cant get your money back). This would be... more
