Gower House Hotel

I booked a room in July in Gower House Hotel. Even in high season, the prices were very attractive and the hotel is 10mn away from London center (by foot) and 15mn away from London St Pancras. We spent a great time in this hotel, the room was clean, the staff was friendly and it was very cheap (3 nights = 80£)! Perfect, thank you!

The Gower House definitely has it’s own special kind of charm.
I recently stayed here for a week with a friend of mine. After spending countless hours on Trip Advisor, we booked a room here for two reasons: It was cheap and it was in a good location. The inside is sort of weird but I imagine that’s typical of many of the converted hotels lining Gower Street. We stayed on the first floor which was actually a story above street level and I’m still not sure exactly how that worked.
The room was very quaint and furnished tacky but there were two beds (one twin and one full), a desk, a small TV bolted on the wall, and a private bathroom with a shower (which we paid extra to have). Both of the beds were pretty hard but for the price we paid I didn’t expect anything more. My favorite part about the room was that the TV remote was on a cord that was bolted to one of the head boards. Of course, we only had about four channels so there weren’t a lot of options anyway.
The owner of the hotel was very pleasant but he got a little flustered if we asked him more than one question at a time. He provided us with a hair dryer and there was a plug adapter/​converter already in our room that I was thankful to have. Breakfast was provided each morning and was served in the little dining room down in the basement. It certainly wasn’t a traditional English breakfast but it was tasty and filling, so no complaints from me. They served bacon and eggs with toast, cereal, orange juice, and coffee or tea. The coffee was a little rough but everything else was fine.
The location of this hotel is great though. It’s within walking distance of Euston Square Station, Goodge Street Station, and St. Pancreas International but if you’re walking with luggage from Euston Station it feels like a pretty long walk. At least it did for me. Overall I’d say Gower House was a decent hotel. It’s certainly not luxury at all, but it’s quaint and cheap.
