The staff was friendly, and the property was in a good location, and pretty clean for a hostel. The room had a harsh smell (paint/chemical), and was located next to a door for a stairwell. Every time the door closed there was a very loud click. This happened half a dozen times an hour. Knowing how loud that door is, they should have placed a storage room here instead of somewhere someone is supposed to sleep. I had earplugs in, and was still woken up by the loud click.

The receptionist man needs lessons in communication (They had a problem with providing the required passes for car parking .) However we ultimately enjoyed our time there ( though the partitition walls were not acoustic and the fire door from the kitchen shrieked whenever it was used through the night )

We were quite disgusted to see someone else’s hair on our pillows upon check in. The walls are so thin you can clearly hear everything that’s going on around you and the shower I chose was broken. We were told there was free parking but it was a 10 min walk away in the rain with our belongings. We did like that it was close to a lot of bars and dining options though.

The only reason I stayed here was because my tour group was meeting there early in the morning of the start date. Otherwise, I would’ve stayed in an actual hotel. I’ve only interacted with the staff at check in, and they were nice. But the cleanliness of the bathrooms was abysmal. The drains in the showers on the mezzanine level were clogged, one of which to the point where the water wasn’t draining at all. There was no soap in any of the bathrooms. Luckily I had Lysol so I sprayed the door knobs of the bathrooms before touching them. If you’re staying here, pay extra to get a private bath. Or pay extra to stay in a nicer hotel.

stayed here a couple times now, it’s in a great location in Christchurch, and the facility is nice, it doesn’t have the super cramped feel of a lot of hostels. If you’re near the kitchen it can get noisy early am but it’s a hostel…Staff had been very helpful as well.

The location is perfect. It’s very close to downtown Christchurch and room is clean . However, the air conditioner is not good enough. You need to find the parking by yourself. I was lucky to find one just right in front of Urbanz.

It was clean, the kitchen is nice and there's a nice area downstairs to relax. I liked that rooms have a TV and the bedroom was comfy and clean- we even got towels. I have to say though: the shower is very dangerous. I have a huge and very painful bruise on my butt because I slipped over in there.... I'm an RN and I'm telling you to please put something non-slip down or someone is going to break their hip. It's super dangerous. I'm very lucky I didn't break anything. It would also be nice to see some more accessibility for disabled patrons too, you can only get up and down via stairs?

We stayed in the family room with our 4 children for one night and going it was exactly what we needed. It was very clean, ensuite did the job and the dining facilities were perfect. Staff and other guests were respectful of our young children. Thanks!

Great location in the heart of Christchurch. Close to lots of restaurants, river n tourist spots. Only issue is the double bed is too short. My toes hung off the edge of the bed and i am 5'5. My husband's feet hung off the bed. Other than that, room was clean n tidy, huge kitchen.

Reception advised me it was all fine and access card would be in lock box. I needed to change my card on file as I’m from Australia and now using a travel money card, I called reception 9 times and no one answered. Fast forward to 1:30am, female, alone in the street, open lock box and there was a note saying sorry we couldn’t charge card please call night manager. I had to ask a stranger walking out of the hotel for their phone to call. Called night manager who wasn’t going to come down and help/advised my story wasn’t “adding up” … I advised I’m happy to show the call logs of me trying to contact. He finally came down, was EXTREMELY rude, banging stuff on the desk, asked me to write my mobile down so he could check against the phone records. Only after proving I had tried to call 9 times he then helped me. Don’t stay here if you can avoid.

Decent for one night, but no control over the temperature settings and the staff didn’t enforce the no smoking beside the entry, so asthma attack nearly set in upon entry/exit of the building each time. Mattress and pillows were hostel low-end basic, and the USB power ports in the room didn’t work.

We stayed in a family room (which is right opposite the kitchen??). Noisiest hostel I have ever stayed in. Kitchen is generally dirty and people don’t appear to respect the rules. Room itself was good - great size for us.
