Reviews of Barcelona Urbany Hostel

08 September 2010

Liked: Has some of the best, if not the best facilities of any hostel I have ever stayed in. The hostel is very clean, well maintained and a great place for solo travellers to meet new friends.

Disliked: I had a bad experience with some of the staff at the hostel, I found them to be quite unhelpful. The location is slightly below average however, it's not that much of an issue.

Liked: The location was central and convenient to metros. The staff were extremely enthusiastic, helpful and friendly.

Disliked: As "older folk", it was a bit too juvenile for us, with lights out at 12 midnight, and having to pay a deposit on bed linen. Breakfast was cheap cereal and bread, and coffee was terrible, but it was plentiful

06 September 2010 Claire would recommend this property

Liked: The terrace is cool and the location is nice, away from touristy areas but easy access to the metro. The 12th floor view is also pretty nice.

Disliked: The cleaning staff comes in in the morning when everyone is trying to get ready to check-out/go out for the day, and it feels like everyone is in each other's way. Also the rooms are not very big.

06 August 2010 Joanne would recommend this property

Liked: We had a great stay here. It isn't in the heart of the town (La Rambla) but it is really close to Clot metro station so very easily accessed. Cheap drinks, free wifi, free kitchen with great facilities and the bar man with dreds is awesome. Excellent outdoor area, all in all the best hostel I have stayed in, in Europe. Really new. Definitely recommend!!

Disliked: Occasionally smelt of sewage when flushing the toilets. And I got stuck in the bathroom because the lock failed, a rarity, but the maintenance guy came to my rescue and kicked the door in. Nice guy. Just an experience to add to our trip to Barcelona.
