Urbany Hostel Barcelona

Everything was as described and the rooms and bathroom were clean and everything was in working order. It is a hostel in a convenient location, close to a couple of train stations that give good access to the sights of Barcelona. The local neighbourhood includes a fantastic street with a wide variety of local eating options and a small, but fantastic market with great fresh food and a supermarket. I'd read elsewhere this was a party hostel, not really appropriate for families, but that was not our experience.

The common kitchen was a bit of a mess, but that was on fellow guests, not the establishment.

It was a great hostel for the price. It is very close to the Clot metro station which was very convenient. Also lots of amenities nearby: cafés, supermarket, pharmacy. We were two adults and two children so se had a private room which was perfect. Each bed had its own power sockets to charge our device. The lockers in the room were a decent size. Shower was okay with good water pressure and hot water. In addition there is a self-service locker room where you can store your luggage after checkout. Our flight was at 23.25 so it was great to have that option. The bigger size locker was only 2€ per hour and it was able to hold all our bags. The staff was also great, especially Martin who was both funny and super nice to use when we checked in quite late at night.

The ladder to go up the bunk beds is very uncomfortable. The handrail doesn't go all the way up which means there is nothing to hold on. We had to hold on to the mattress itself, which was quite dangerous. I'm surprised that these haven't been changed. One thin missing is a small shelf to put out stuff on. Once up in the bunk bed, there is nowhere to put a bottle of water. A small shelf would have been very useful.

Costumer service.

Location Great staff Budget

Tiny rooms and beds Better if they turn on AC in the hot weather
