Despite initial problems gaining an access code, I had a pleasant stay in a simple, no nonsense room with all that was needed. Central location is excellent. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katherina 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Could be better The staff and especially Kenan were always helpful and very friendly on the phone. The rooms are clean but the partitions between rooms as so thin that in the rooms with shared bathrooms, in one of the accommodations, everything that happens in the next room can be heard. ##### Katherina Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Urwa 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good stay, cheap hotel ##### Urwa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne 27 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay perfect for our needs,will definitely book again. ##### Joanne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Exactly what you’d expect and what you pay for, a nice little room, clean and very secure.

Super close to the stadium. Very clean. Didn't get the pre-arrival email but called the emergency line at the front door and was given the codes - really nice chap on customer service who was really helpful. Was expecting a two room apartment so he immediately sent someone over to make up the double sofa bed in the lounge. Has everything you need. Would use again if going to Principality Stadium. ##### Wendy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John 26 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location ##### John Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim 22 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely guest house very clean and comfortable, and great price ##### Kim Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Spacious room and very comfy beds ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mr john 16 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very comfortable and we would stay there again hello ##### Mr john Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent location, comfortable beds, plenty of pillows. I would have loved some seating area, but we were using the accommodations for sleep mostly, so we socialized outside of the rooms. ##### Laurie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fab place Simple room but did the job. Convenient location and easy to check in and out ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Daryle 17 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Although the price seems reasonable, Austin's is not good value. It is more of a backpacker's hostel than any sort of a guest house. It is conveniently located across the river from the downtown, but there is no parking in the area except for permitted residents of the neighbourhood. The nearest paid parking is at the Sophia Gardens bus depot about 500 m away. Cost is ~ 25L per day. There are very few restaurants or other services in the immediate area (but would recommend the cafe across the river from the Sophia Garden car park for breakfast). But downtown is about a 10-15 minute walk. The shower doors on our unit were about to fall off and were difficult to close. Our bathroom sink's drain was plugged however there was a shared washroom for some other rooms a floor down. People coming and going can be rather noisy. There was a kettle in our room that appeared to not work until we discovered that the breaker for it was turned off. Carpet was dirty--almost to the level of "ikky". ##### Daryle Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam 27 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would recommend Very convenient place to stay with good facility’s ##### Adam Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was small, but it’s good for a single traveler. ##### Emily Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaime 13 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Decent stay Not bad for its price ##### Jaime Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Furie 23 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Chill vibes ##### Furie Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great value for money We were so happy with our accommodation. It was perfectly located within walking distance to the coach station and castle, as well as the main shopping precinct. Our family room was gigantic and massive value for money. ##### Rebecca Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juliette 19 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short stay Excellent place.

Comfortable room, as usual, except that the radiator didn’t work and there was no other form of heating on a very cold night! ##### Sion Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mazhar 13 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good value for money ##### Mazhar Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy 11 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central, cost effective! It's very reasonably priced and in a perfect central location. Central enough to walk around but not on the main street, so a quiet night sleep is guaranteed! Only downside is the slightly off smell of the carpets/exterior (a couple of plug in air freshners would make a huge difference!) will happily stay again! ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Frank 7 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Small flat in a townhouse nearby the city center. No staff. Keys by your phone- every thing works 👍 ##### Frank Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Irina 29 Mar 2025 Lights did not work outside the room. Heater did not work in the room.
