Urbany Hostel Barcelona

Location excellent, near metro and very good looking places walking around. Room was more for friends, as the place's vibes are more for solo/group of friends travelling. Breakfast was also good, very good price and buffet type. Bed was personal, although im not use to those beds when traveling, i felt it comfortable. Nice place to stay, the Argentinian girl from the kitchen (3rd) floor is really kind and friendly, I loved her attitude!

Genuinely one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in, and if anything, better than some budget chain hotels I've been to. The staff are extremely helpful, speak multiple languages, and can sort any issues or queries you might have including directions, booking taxis or talking on your behalf if you are unfamiliar with the language. Take a few minutes when you're in the lifts to look at all the facilities available - the luggage storage is all automatic, very fairly priced and very secure. The bar/terrace and rooftop are lovely, give you incredible views and are worth a visit. I stayed in a shared, all-female dorm room, and it was extremely clean, and spacious for what you pay for! Each bed has a small private light, which does not disturb others in the room, a single EU wall plug, and a single UK wall plug (so bring extension leads should you want to charge more than one device). The bed itself is very comfortable, and you get 1 pillow, 1 duvet and linens for free. Each person has a huge card-operated locker, which is secure and can comfortably fit lots of luggage! The room has the best blackout curtains I have ever seen, which means no outside disturbances and the window is sound-proofed so the rooms looking out onto the main road are very very quiet. There are coat hooks in the room too. Each shared room (I was in a room of 4 females), has an ensuite bathroom, which itself too is very spacious. There is a large shower, toilet, sink, hair straighteners and hair dryer provided, as well as a large mirror and small magnifying wall mirror too. There are coat hooks on the back of the door. Towels are not free, but only cost a few euros for your entire stay, but you can also bring your own. I read many reviews before I left about the shower - yes, it is on a 'timer' but literally not an issue. Great water pressure and instant hot water - temperature adjustable.

The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, the location is great and the staff was very friendly. The lockers didn't need a lock, they could be locked with the pass card and were free which was appreciated.

The room was a good size for a family of four with two teenagers. Two sets of bunkbeds. Lockers.

Big spaces, World Cup games on the third floor, vending machines, fast elevators, kitchen with space in the fridge, the terrace on the 13th those are all amazing! The locker on the room is also high class.
