Reviews of Best Bower
"Best "hotel" in Portland. Incredible attention to detail in the design. Love the finishes and care taken to put together a very homey and comfortable place to stay. Munjoy Hill is a great residential neighborhood with wonderful coffee/bakeries within walking distance."
"Very impressed with our stay at the Best Bower. It was so cozy and clean and the design was very well thought out. The owner is very responsive and helpful. The location is quiet and only a 10-20 minute walk from food and shopping! We are already looking forward to planning our next visit to Portland, and when we do, we will definitely be staying here again."
"I could not be happier with our stay at Best Bower. The location is insanely convient with tons of dining options, shopping, and scenic views within walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet and there is a shockingly well stocked convenient store right across the street from the guest house. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and well equipped with all needs including bamboo toilet paper and other sustainable toiletries. There are thoughtful touches, (like the pour over coffee in the rooms and shared kitchenette for all guests) and beautiful art everywhere.The feel is a very comfy chic. We felt super safe, with the fire department located right next door. Parking was never a hassle. The contact free check in and out was just the icing on the fantastic stay cake! Thanks Best Bower!"
"I grew up in Portland, so staying anywhere but home has always felt strange to me. Best Bower is different — staying here feels like visiting with your most thoughtful, chic, and quintessentially Maine relative. The rooms are tastefully done and deeply comfortable. The location puts you in the heart of a real neighborhood, walkable to literal dozens of great Portland things. The common areas and service are very helpful and functional. I can’t wait to come back!"
"Great little guesthouse. More like an air bnb than a hotel but were able to book the flight on southwest.com. The self check in was efficient and the owner was available to help with any questions we had about the area. The accommodations were modern, chic and comfortable. The heated floors were nice even in the summer since the A/C made the room a cool getaway from the blazing heat. We will definitely come back since the location was amazing. Walking distance to the Promenade park and downtown."
