This 12-floor hostel building was built in 2008 and all things there are wisely set for travelers' comfort. Every bed has it's own american and euopeans plug-in as well as a personal bed light. Each room has privat bathroom. I stayed in 8-bed female dorm and the bthroom included 2 shower cabins, a sink and a toilet all separated. Everything... More

We stayed 6 nights at Barcelona Urbany Hostel. The first thing that we noticed is that is is an incredibly large hostel (12 floors). That being said, travelers should keep in mind that it is a hostel not a hotel, so you get what you pay for. Compared to other hostels we have stayed at in Europe & South America,... More

This is one of the best hostels I've stayed in. I stayed in the girls' dorm rooms and there's hairdryers and hair straighteners in the bathroom. Excellent security with keycard entry to the room AND the locker. There's also a paid left luggage facility. Very central location, with metro about 2 mins walk away and direct train from the airport... More

Friendly staff, colourful, clean and fun rooms, there is a big common area on Level 4 with a bar and outdoor area. Computers with free internet were fast and easy to use as well. Only downside for me was the taps in the bathroom - the basin tap and shower nozzle can't be controlled manually, you press it once and... More

It is very clean, comfortable and pleasant, but lacks the cozzyness and friendliness that students want while traveling to meet people. It didn't have group activities, service was good but limited, and the location is horrible: one has to take the metro everywhere. More

If you are booking on an aggregate website, like booking.com, be careful that you don't get charged incorrectly. The night staff will not be able to refund you your money once it goes through the machine, so be really sure you are charged the correct amount. I was charged over $500 extra and had to wait till the morning receptionist... More

I have just returned from spending the last 5 nights in the Barcelona Urbany Hostel, I stayed in one of the 6bed mixed dorms. The rooms are a little on the small size but i dont think you go to Barcelona to spend time in your room so this was not a problem for me. The view from my room... More

A group of old university friends were reuniting and wanted somewhere affordable, convenient and of quality (we are getting older and so less inclined to slum it). This fit the bill, quite literally. The security of the lockers, and comfort of the beds, was great. Some of the group found the air-conditioning a little less than user-friendly but it wasn't... More

Reviews on hostelbookers were pretty good at this place, but I was not a big fan. The rooms were very stuffy without opening windows and I didn't find out you can request for A/C until I went down to the front desk and asked. The showers are pretty weak. They are in the bathroom and you have to push the... More
