This was the perfect accommodation for our trip to London. The proximity to Victoria Station enabled us to travel easily to and from Gatwick Airport, as well as quick connections to London's major attractions. Buckingham Palace can be reached on foot.The room was equipped with everything you need, clean and comfortable.I would book it again at any time.The entrance to Bower House is easy to miss, the access card can be obtained at George House - a hotel in the immediate vicinity. Checkin and checkout was smooth.

very close to victoria station which was fantastic. Check-in process was easy and we had somebody walk us to the building. The room is the perfect size and there is a water carafe for tea or coffee and two fans which I thought were very nice to have. Overall, a cute place and I would definitely stay here again.

Staying at Bower House was a very positive experience. Very close to Victoria station and restaurants. The room (single) was exactly what it looked like on the photos: beautifully decorated, very clean and neat. Having a bath tub directly in the room was simply unique! The check-in experience was good, all relevant details were sent in advance. The reception is located not far from Bower House and the staff was kind and helpful. I wonder why the hotel has only 2 stars!

We enjoyed our stay at Bower House. The building is older so of course there are things to consider, like no air conditioning and if you're downstairs, very steep and narrow steps down to the room but overall it was a comfortable stay. The ensuite was small but had everything we needed and the pedestal fan provided was very much appreciated during the hot nights. The complimentary WIFI cut in and out, again, due to it being an older building and our room being downstairs. The manager was very upfront about these things and was easily contactable if we needed him which was great too.
