Vancouver Austin Guesthouse

Would have been nice if the snow was cleared from the back walkway area. Had a couple of days of ankle deep snow to go up stairs in. Also, provided a kitchen common area but I was told not to cook anything. What's the point then of providing it?

This was a guest house type property and not a hotel. There are a lot of restrictions, e.g., shower needs to be completed in 10/15 mins, guests should be home by 11 pm, shoes must be kept outside the building etc. The Landlord even asked me about my expected schedule during my stay in Vancouver. The house is nice and clean, but this can't be recommended for a vacation stay. I would never stay there again.

As a newcomer to Canada this is the perfect place for stay. All other hotels are 2-3 times more expensive. Here you get own room and a shared kitchen with a big fridge where you can make yourself a sandwich or a salad. The shared bathrooms are very clean. Parking is available on spot or in the worst case on the street nearby. The hotel is close to the public transport. I stayed 11 days and I recommend it to everyone.

The room, bathroom and communal kitchen area were very clean and tidy. The hosts were able to accommodate me for parking which was very kind and were very responsive when contacting them. There were other guests staying there and everyone was respectful and kind. I'd return if I'm in the area.

The room smelt sour the towels were sour the bed and the room were great hosts were friendly parking was limited wasn’t enough for all guests if you plan to vomit in later than others park half block away so you won’t get tow

This house is located on a busy street but area is so beautiful. Huge park in walking distance. Couple of things i noticed and wasn't pleasing for me were. Bedroom felt little damp and i was told that filling up a tub to bath is not allowed, Only shower is allowed. other than that, owner were polite, i felt safe in the area and in the house. Parking wasnt a problem at all.

Great property! Ideal for 1 person. Clean room, decent bed, newer home with great private bathroom. I would definitely stay again.

This is not a hotel, it is a private room, and the price reflects that. Host was accommodating of my late check-in, and I had no issues with my stay. As long as you understand what you are booking, it is a great alternative to a hostel, for not too much more money.

Austin Guesthouse was generally clean, but the microwave was so dirty it smelled rotten. The fridge was not cold, was visibly dirty and smelled like mold. There was nothing to dry hands with in the shared bathroom. The shower was in the same room as the microwave and fridge(behind a non locking glass wall) It was very hot, and without air conditioning, there was no relief or sleep. The pictures on Hotels site show many comfortable places to relax, but in reality, I was only given my room with a kitchen chair to sit on. There was a row of child gates between the hosts living room and the entryway where my room was. The host said to keep the cat in the living room? Host were generally pleasant but I felt like they were lurking outside my room and they told me I didn't need to lock my room when I left because they were watching the entry area all the time...were there cameras? There were rules posted all over, even hanging from the light in the entry outside my door...my head hit it when I walked under it, and I'm 5ft 3. Time limit for shower, food prep specifically only that which can go in a microwave. I read I wasn't allowed food in my room but there is also no where to sit and eat outside my room. I didn't see the excessive rules posted on hotels so didn't vacate 11 to 4. I left from 1120 to almost 3 and the host did not get upset. It was an uncomfortable place to stay not due to furniture but due to the hosts excessive requirements/rules and their creepy lurking.

Respectfully, the parking situation was less than ideal due to disorganization and the rules were obscure. Friendly, however poorly managed.

Very clean and affordable and the owners are very nice!

It's a nice clean quiet place. For temporary 3 days living, it's quite convenient for me. Eating in that area is very convenient, lots of options are available, and also quite easy to get on high way though the house is hidden in a quiet area.

Very nice hosts. Rooms are clean.

Great welcoming and well maintained place!

Very clean and quiet accommodations and very nice couple operating it. Would definitely stay again!

The best place I stayed amongst the five different places. The landlord and his wife were extremely friendly and even gave me a couple of bowls of fresh picked blueberries. These were the best blueberries I have ever tasted. The room was spotless, shared cooking area has everything I needed and friendly guests to boot. I had several great conversations with the owners and other guests. There's a coin-op laundry 3 minutes away and Walmart about 7 minutes away. Denny's down the street. It's a beautiful neighborhood to walk around in too. I'm definitely coming back here after my cruise to Alaska.

Very relaxing. Host was very accommodating with me, as I informed in advance that I wouldn't be able to arrive until just before midnight. Located on a busy road during most of the daytime, but great location for shopping, restaurants, etc. Beautiful home and room.

Cozy, comfy, beautiful, and quiet. Per

Quiet close to my old neighborhood where I used to live

It was very clean and as described, but the owners stressed that I must be quiet closing doors etc...then proceeded to crash pots and pans in a kitchen below my room at 5am most mornings. Also they wanted me to move my car several times late at night. I understand parking is tight, but this was excessive

The room smelt sour the towels were sour the bed and the room were great hosts were friendly parking was limited wasn’t enough for all guests if you plan to vomit in later than others park half block away so you won’t get tow

It was great, felt like i m the only one living in this house , not crowded

Location is nice and quiet. Sort of far from subway station.

Where do I even begin? The home owners weren't very nice at all, Rules were very unclear, And checking out was not explained at all. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone for a vacation im Vancouver. Highly recommend just giving up a few more dollars just to get a hotel!

Owner was rude

Nice hosts, helpful, convenient.

Very nice hosts. Rooms are clean.

Place is beautiful, quiet and comfortable. Close to food and shops. Owners seemed a bit concerned I had 5 bags of luggage (traveling home from working on the road for 6 months) and kinda assumed I was a bull in the proverbial china shop because I’m a burly white man. Like…they explained how a shower works? I know as a pro wrestler and carny I look rough, but I dunno. I felt all but pushed out the door when I checked out. Cest la vie.

The only thing I did not like was the big walk up the hill every day Otherwise I will be back again

There is always a smell of food and perfume it's not allowed.
