Great hostel to stay at when visiting london. Social activities every night make it easy to meet other solo travellers and has a good backpacker vibe to it. Staff are all friendly and fun to be around.

Best! Hostel! Ever!! I absolutely loved my time at Urbany and can easily see how they won Best Hostel in London last year. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the team and given a tour around the place. The social events they run are amazing and despite feeling nervous, they made me feel so included! I don’t know how I can stay at other hostels now that Urbany has set such high expectations. Special mention to Leah, Brea, Henry and Amy
