This hostal is in a perfect location in the centre of Barcelona. After climbing three floors up the stairs we were told that this is the first floor : ) !? So I think the hostal is actually on the 6th or 7th floor. Good receptionist. The hostal was very quiet and room ok, except the bed, that was quite... More

All the rooms in this old run down hostel face the street which has continues traffic noise. If this doesnt keep you awake then the water pump system which each room has definitely will. every time someone in the hostel uses the water a loud pump starts up in each room! Rooms are tiny and old but the staff is... More

Perfect for location and great for a budget. Clean rooms, helpful staff - I even tried to use my Spanish, fridge in the room is useful for budget travellers. It is not a place for cheap people with high expectations, but for those who value comfort and are laid-back.

You cannot be better located than at Residencia Australia, 5 minutes from the Plaza Catalunia. The receptionist is helpful and the room was clean and tidy. The facilities were very good and a small fridge in the room is a bonus.

I stayed in this hostel for only one night with my boyfriend we had a double room with a shared bathroom . We really didn't expect much for the price we payed but where more than happy with what we received. The room was small but enough room for the two of us with a fan and large wardrobe. We... More

We were placed in an apartment that had two bedrooms (one had a bathroom in it, ours had the bathroom in the hallway). We had requested a private bathroom but were disappointed when we learned ours was not in the room itself. The hotel is extremely out-dated with no improvements to the furniture etc. Even the TV looks like it... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and overall it was ok for the price. The location was the best part and the receptionist was very friendly plus rooms were clean and had aircon ( retrofitted and a bit noisy but definitely better than nothing). However the detached bathrooms weren't the best, the wifi was very patchy (had to sit in... More

We stayed here for two nights at the end of June. They seemed happy to accommodate our late check-in but when we got to our room, we found it to be very small. It has a fan but no air conditioning so the room stayed very hot all night and especially during the day. We had very loud neighbors so... More

This Hostel is in an amazing location right on Universidad Square. It is a two minute walk from (the overrated) Las Rumblas and is in the middle of a fantastic shopping area. As soon as I walked in, the woman behind the desk welcomed me, asked a few questions and then recommended activities to do around Barcelona that would match... More

One of the most pathetic stay experience I may have ever had...its not a hostel, its not a a hotel, it is a house where the owner stays in one room and lets out the other two - which have been divided into half - to make it into four rooms. The room size is smaller than my bathroom. the... More
