Urbany Hostel Barcelona

BEWARE! THIS WAS THE WORST TRAVEL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else. The low price isn 't worth it. Lockers in the rooms would often stop working. We had a laptop and wallet stolen from an otherwise empty dining area while sitting on the table right next to us. The day before there was an attempted robbery on two random girls in the kitchen cooking area. Another guy lost his wallet in the common area. Staff were awkward and dismissive about everything. Management was non-existent for days after. Cameras are there for a false sense of security and not for your protection. When needed, the camera footage suddenly doesn 't exist during the time of the incident. The people who work here are either involved or simply can 't be bothered. There are lots of other inexpensive options in town and most have actual security guards. This place is not safe at all, so if you choose to stay here, please be careful!

Room felt like a jail cell. You could feel the springs through the mattress, got only about 2 hours of sleep during my stay. Bathroom is gross and outdated, the room gives barely enough space for two people let alone 4. The area was nice and the breakfast and terrace were both good, but I would not be staying here again.

Had a pleasant time at Urbany Hostel. The night staff was incredible and check us in when we arrived in the middle of the night. The day staff (particularly the ones dealing with breakfast) were alright. At moments it felt they were doing us a favour, even though it was an add-on breakfast voucher. The rooms were clean and they seem to make sure it stays that way, which is good. Overall a good experience there.

Mixed feelings … we had a four bed room for three girls. The beds cracked with every move and the dusty carpets were not exactly inviting. We were woken up one morning at 7am with a short fire alarm … after asking the staff at the reception whether it was a malfunction they just shrugged and said it’s broken but being fixed … would have been nice to know in advance. We didn’t hear the other guests too much (also went during quiet season in January). Bonus is the quiet location, close proximity to the metro and cute cafes and restaurants around.

This place has decent space. Lost 1 star because there had been a flood in the room next to us and the floor was soaking. There was also a problem with the pipes and the hot water had been switched off for a day. Other than that it was great.
