“Great location, but not the best hostel”

We stayed at Urbany Barcelona Hostel in November with a big group of students. The Hostel was clean but very very cold. We tried to get them to turn up the heat but the staff at the reception said that they where not allowed to turn it up. It was freezing in the rooms. And the hostel in overall was… more

We stayed at Urbany Barcelona Hostel in November with a big group of students. The Hostel was clean but very very cold. We tried to get them to turn up the heat but the staff at the reception said that they where not allowed to turn it up. It was freezing in the rooms. And the hostel in overall was not in the best condition. Pretty worn out. But overall the staff was nice and the location was excellent.

“Lovely views, good location, but the service can be poor at times.”

Rooms: In our rooms, we had bunk beds, which were hard to get on and off, so you have to be very careful. The air-conditioning can not be altered, meaning the temperature is either hot or cold, not in between. When someone has had a shower, a wet patch appears on the floor and is kept damp for a while. Bathrooms: The bathroom has an automatic light, meaning when you're in the shower, it turns off. You can turn it back on by slightly opening the door, but it doesn't long. The shower is operated by button, so you do have to keep pressing it. Service: Not all rooms get a tag that they can put on their door to deny door service, meaning that they can just enter your room. With this, all of us had at least one item of food stolen, whether it was open or not. They emptied the rubbish bin in the bathroom and left items that were clearly rubbish on the floor. Apart from this, breakfast in the morning was nice and they staff were polite and tried their best with English. Location: The views of the hotel are lovely and you can see the sea from the rooms. From the hotel you can walk to the beach which is approximately a mile, there is a mall nearby either public transport available in the form of busses and the metro. There are little shops nearby where you can purchase drinks and snacks and the people are lovely.
