Nice, new and clean hostel. A bit of a walk from the beach / central city but easy enough to catch the tube. Highly recommended.

Looks totally like a hotel. Very impressive hostel and very good value for your money. Nevertheless, far from the city center.

Amazing hostel! My favorite so far. I stayed here for a week and came back again. The best features: really good WiFi throughout entire building, amazing key-card lockers in room, towel racks, really nice staff, great lounge for meeting people. I went clubbing with the hostel and had a blast. Cons: the showers aren't great. You keep having to hit the button and the water shoots out onto the floor, so there's always a giant puddle in the bathroom after you shower. Strongly reccomend!

Nothing bad to say. I was surprise with the hostel's organization, really good character and better than a lot of hotels. The breakfast is a little poor.

Great hostel, keep up the good job. The guys in the common room ease the thing to socialize with others with their activities and games.

Urbany was a great hostel. The rooms were small but loved the outlets and lamps for each bed as well as the in room lockers. It was clean and had a great patio. Downsides were the large schoolgroups of very young people and the staff wasn't all that friendly. All in all it's good value for the money and is in a safe part of town.

Highly recommended for younger people who want to party. It´s about 10mins walking distance to the beach and the hostel gets together almost every night to go out and party.

The first night we did a 4 person room thinking we would prefer it, but the 6 bed room is so much more spacious. We met some awesome people and they made the trip more than anything else. Likes: personal lockers in room, personal light in bunk, hot shower, cheap drinks, female dorms. Dislikes: beds were covered in hair, no bath mat in the washroom so it was disgusting in the morning, so many YOUNG school groups, very unfriendly/unhelpful staff, no real security

This was the best hostel I've ever been. It's great value for money. The room was always clean, the breakfast was great, and the best thing was you can use the gym and swimming pool for free. The location is close to Clot Metro Station with direct connection to Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas. From this hostel, you can also walk to La Sagrada Familia. I had a great holiday here.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. It's huge, so not particularly intimate... but the quality of the facilitues more than makes up for this. Free access to the fitness centre next door is alone enough to make me return.

This is the worst hostel I have ever seen. They dont clean the rooms, they don"t check for any thing that is needed like toilet paper they informed me the minute i checked in that they I have to move to another room..and as i told them this is not written in your terms on the website, the guy at the reception with this looong hair , told me , it is written in this form, and it wasnt written..when he asked is it ok with you..I replied ..I have to accept...he replied back ..yes YOU HAVE TO ..

We liked the Hostel.It was organized with a lot of facilites. The metro and train are closed. The breakfast is ok. The staff is very helpful and nice!.The bed room was clean. The only thing not so good was : we cannot open the windows, so it was a little complicate to breath well, and the staff don't use to open every days,..

The staffs are friendly and helpful. The dedicated floor for female makes it even better. Room and bathroom are clean. Some people didn't clean their own tray after breakfast make the kitchen a little bit untidy. Maybe the hostel should put up a sign so that people will clean their own tray. Food for breakfast is good and variety of drinks are great. There should be automatically log off session in the computers so that people won't use it more than 15 minutes, considering the long queue.
