Thomas the manager was very helpful and pointed out places to visit & avoid, plus explaining Metro cost etc, If your looking for a standard hotel this is not that type, its simply a place to sleep after a long day out, clean & tidy, will defo go back again. More

We booked this place last minute without doing a lot of research, so weren't sure what to expect. We booked a private suite and when we arrived, they told us the suite was in the owner's mother's apartment. While we were slightly worried about that at first, all of our worries were put aside when we met Maria - the... More

Prior to a cruise, my wife and I spent a night at the Residencia Australia. As other reviewers mentioned, this is not a luxury hotel, but it is a hotel that offers clean, air-conditioned rooms with comfortable beds in an excellent location at reasonable prices. We found Thomas the owner to be personable and helpful. If you take the Aerobus... More

During our 2 week trip to Europe this was probably one of the best places we stayed at. Hostal Residencia Australia is owned by a wonderful guy (Thomas). He went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and had all we needed. The room and bathroom were very clean. The location is also convenient as it is a... More

This was, at first, a bit of a shocker! We arrived and NO one knew about our request for an airconditioned room. But we were offered a room in the A/C'd part of the floor that was OK for our purposes, which were 2 nights sleep. The room was small, no windows and we had to share a lav, although... More

OK, lets be honest & upfront. If you are looking for a North-American style 4 star hotel experience, wide queen beds, private bath, soaker tub and nightly turn down service, head to one of the many available and expensive hotels in town. If you are ready to enjoy a clean, safe, exceptionally well managed and run "Hostal" in Barcelona. you... More

It is located a few minutes walk from Placa Catalunya, and is easily walkable to La Ramblas. Tom was the host, and was really helpful and funny. I believe he was out of the basic double rooms, so he upgraded us to the family room in the adjacent building for free (with Air Conditioning, bigger bed, private bathroom, etc). Tom... More

The place would have been OK, especially because of its central location, but dealing with the owner/manager quickly turned it into a nightmare. He is strange, unfriendly and impolite. When we were chatting, not yelling, in our room at 7 am (NOT 4 am when everyone is sleeping), he barged in on us and threatened to report us to the... More

My Husband and I stayed here for 5 nights at the start of July 2011. Thomas who runs the Hostal is very friendly and helped us with all of the questions we had including planning a day trip to hike in the catalan pyrenees! The location of this Hostal is great. We walked practically everywhere while we were staying here.... More
