Reviews of Barcelona Urbany Hostel

18 July 2011 Audrey would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the bar/restaurant on the 3rd floor. It was a very good way to meet other travelers.

Disliked: They advertise a pool. That is a lie. There is a pool next door at the fitness center that is open to the hostel for just a few random moments during the day. And to go in you must have caps and flip flops. And the staff there are NOT nice.

Liked: The breakfast terrace

Disliked: It was very expensive for what it offered. We found a four star hotel cheaper than then the hostel in a nicer location. Airconditioning smells of chlorine and can't be turned off. Bathroom smells of fungus.

01 July 2011 Tasha would recommend this property

Liked: We loved this hostel, it was easily accessible via the metro, the property was clean, new, and modern. The hostel was very safe with key card access to the building as well as your individual locker. The outdoor terrace and common room as well as the free internet access were amazing perks. We made friends with the people the first night and were able to go on the club excursions the hostels had set up. Loved our stay and would come back and reccomnd anyone to stay here in Barcelona.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: In female droms thehe were hairdryers, straightners and big mirrors :) I found it very cool because every night there was an event going on organized by the hostel. I was travelling alone so that kind of events were perfect way to meet people and have company.

Disliked: There weren't any good restaurants around the hostel, only kebabs and fast food. Air conditioning!!! There was air conditioning in rooms every day and night. It was automatic so you couldn't switch it off. I got cold there because of it! And the nights were cold.

26 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I like the room and and ensuite washroom.Its like a boutique hotel. AMENITIES were great swimming pool and gym.Please bring headcap if planning for swimming.Its close to metro.Sagrada familia is 20 min walk. Glories mall and grocery 10 min walk. The best thing is the kitchen and bar. They always have theme every night tapa,bbq,paela etc. Ihave a great time.

Disliked: Breakfast is not that great. Very basic.I hope they improve it. Also its annoying when using the kitchen there are some people that dont clean.up after themselves. Check in time is strickly followed. I came 11 am check in is 3 pm so tired from trip they let me wait and loss the day beacuse of that. Theres locker room for 3 Euro but i did not bother to store my stuff.
