The Austin Guesthouse is location right across the River Taff and about a 7 minute walk to Cardiff Castle. It is quite reasonable at 45 pounds/night for a double room and shower. the toilet was communal and required some wallpaper. It looks like they may have been in the middle of rewallpapering as all of it had been ripped off.... more

Austins was conveniently located and within easy walk from the Central Station and the City Centre. It was not far from the Castle which was worth visiting if the weather was fine. For 3 nights we stayed in one twin and one single room both of which were kept clean every day. They were not spacious particularly the single room... more

I stayed for one night at Austin's Guesthouse (that's what it was when I stayed there), and after a 2 hour train ride from London Paddington, had no absolutely no trouble finding this house, which was literally right across the bridge from Cardiff Castle and the Millenium Stadium. Check-in was a bit slow, and the lady had trouble locating my... more

We are 3 friends who stayed at Austins for 3 days last December and we had a really great time. The placement is incredible and the rooms were clean and quite good. The owner was really nice to us and cared a lot about us moving around Cardiff. From there you can go on foot to all the cool places... more

Location is good, particularly for the stadium. Rooms are ok for the price - although don't try swinging any cats! The big problem with this place is the service - absolutely terrible. One particular member of staff had a very serious attitude problem that made us feel very uncomortable. I actually had to point out to her that we had... more

Was greated with a scorn by care taker. We arrived later than expected (4pm) instead of (10-11) am as arranged. Rang the bell for 30 mins with no one turning up to greet us. Came back at 7pm, and was greeted with a scowl and an angry care taker because were were late instead of a sorry we werent here... more

Fantastic location, 10 minutes walk from centre. I had a standard single room, in the basement of the annexe. A bit cell-like, but very clean and the breakfasts were lovely. Very friendly staff. Good value. more
