I think this is the first purpose built hostel I have stayed in. It worked well. I was knackered by the time I arrived and appreciated vegging in front of Harry Potter films and a couple of pints of draught beer in the common/breakfast room. Nice and bright for looking at guidebooks etc. Slept very well. The toilet was a bit cramped but, otherwise, no complaints. A few places to eat, drink and wander in the neighbourhood, so it was interesting and pretty central.

I have just stayed in an amazing hostel. In the bar on the 3rd floor you can meet a lot of young guys and in this way you can enjoy your staying in Barcelona at best. I strongly recommend this hostel to everyone: it has also free wi-fi in all the building and breakfast included. Well done =)

Rooms are clean, and there is enough security (there's no stealing in the room where we all have a locker.)

The hostel is located near the metro and the tram station which is very useful. It's about 20-30 min from the beach. Besides the neighborhood isn't very beautiful.

You can choose a feminine room if you want.

People are nice and the staff too.

There's a swimming pool and a fitness center.

Every night a bus brings us to a different club of Barcelona where we can get in for free (the bus is only 3€)

There's a bar where they sells coktails and snacks like fries.

The breakfast is included... if you get up early enough ! Which is highly hard with the awesome Barcelona parties.

Just one thing : the shower head is fixed to the wall (pretty hard to wash yourself properly), but my friends were in a classy hotel and it was the same so...

It was the best time of my life, choose this hostel !

The hostel was very good. Easy to reach and very clean. Unfortunately the quality of breakfast was bad and bathroom was not good. While taking bath the hair always becomes wet because the shower is not detachable

The hostel have great position, you can go in center by foot or take the metro. I enjoyed while I stay here. It's great that hostel have kitchen and bar so you can cook by yourself which is cheaper.

Best Hostel I have ever stayed in. Met some awesome people from around the world there. Awesome staff and facilities. Nice walk into the city center or a quick walk round the corner to hop onto the metro. I highly recommend Barcelona Urbany Hostel and I will do so to all my friends.

Is the best hostel in which I've ever been. To do not say to much - it has everything what do you need. Great localization, perfect equipment, cleaness on high level. Drawback? No oven in the kitchen. Pizza from mircrowave isn't really tasty. :)

Incredible,awesome! I love the wonderful breadfast and the night view from the balcony. Free maps of Barcelona. TV, bar and computer room is fantasy as well. Each bed is equipped with two sockets and locker. And the total rent just 10 euro!

Nice clean and safe place. The lockers for everyone and bathroom in each room is a point pro. Unfortunatelly there is no possibility to open a window so in the morning or late at night with 8 people in the room there is no air to breath with. Breakfast more or less ok, could give apart from the jam or cereals also some ham or cheese. Kitchen like in a hospital but quite ok. Generally speaking it is a nice clean hostel i can recommend to anyone.

Perfect place in great localization. Rooms are nice (a little bit small) with own bathroom (don't know if all of them). Hostel provides free internet connection and the breakfast is included in price. I recommend it to everyone.

The common room with pub and terrace was great for socializing, as well as nightly buses to different clubs. 10-15 minutes by metro to the city centre. Great personnel. Loved it. :)

Definitely not a free gym. With everything I paid for a swimming cap (which you even have to wear in the hot tub!), slippers, ect... it ended up costing about $15 USD to get in for a day.

Staff is really friendly and helpful. accommodation was good for sleep and breakfast. not far from the city. close to metro and tram station which is very convenient to those tourist places.however, have to spend money on metro or tram.

if you want to save money,you can walk to those tourist places such as sagrada familia and the beaches.about 20 mins walk from sagrada familia and the twin towers where just next to beach.

if for sleep and breakfast, this is a fantastic option.

Very very nice hostel. Was very clean and the staff were all very friendly. The breakfast quality could be a bit improved, to be honest, and the location is a bit far from the center if you want to walk, but is very close to the subway station Clot. All in all I thought it was one of the best hostels I've stayed at.

It was a great stay in the Urbany Hostal. I really enjoyed the good atmosphere. The Hostal is very new, you can tell it by all those extra detaills as fast internet, option to play wii, a charge box were you are able to charge your mobile or MP3 player or even your Ipod. The rooms are also very clean. The staff in the Hostal are very friendly and helpful. If I ever come back to Madrid, I would stay in this Hostal again.

Some say Kabul is the best hostel, but for me, this hostel is the BEST!! this is more like a hotel rather than a hostel. it is so gorgeous!! breakfast is big enough, you can use the gym just next to the hostel, and this hostel has open terrace, and nice kitchen!! I could not find this hostel at first because it looks too nice for the hostel from outside as well! lol

I used 4 bed and only ladies room.

Room was quite clean, which is important!

Location is near Clot station of L1 and L2, which was convenient and safe.

There are some PCs and free internet.

People are nice.

one of the best hostels I've ever been. for 21euros we had free internet, free breakfast, pool and gym. The bar was really cool, a kind a place for cool people. The room could be cleaner though.

Clean and friendly. To get to the centre is easy by bus or by metro (just 3 mins to the station). The walk to Sagrada Familia took us about 20-25 mins.

We had a private room for 2 people with shower in the room - perfect. And the view from the top floors - amazing.

Breakfast is ok, specially because you can have churros with hot choc just next to the metro station :)

Enjoyed the time.

Great hostel to discover Barcelona! Close to the metro, at walking distance from the Sagrada Familia, the beach and several clubs, the location of the hostel is perfect no matter where you want to go in the city. Very friendly people, tidy rooms with a nice view and a fun bar with cheap drinks. Only remarks are the breakfast that is a bit limited, and the kitchen that isn't fully equipped. But don't let that hold you back, we had a great time there!

nice simple rooms, very small though. Bathroom good!

Close by a metrostation from where you get anywhere.

Breakfast is crappy. Tried it once, but the other days just went in to town to get breakfast.

Because of the many floors, the atmosphere is quite cold and boring

I have just found a problem. Breakfast was horrible. The quality of the butter, mermelade was the lowest, the juice had artifitial taste. Coffee, no comment.. No any cheese or jam, just sweet unquality things.The worst breakfast I have ever had.

New building,services like 3/4*hotel(outside dorms ensuite ,elevators,gymn-pool,bar-terraza,internet-TV salon,breakfast for free,kitchen,tour & entartament guides,..)for a few €uros;with not too confort but functional.Young people travelling, staff sympathy.Situacion is not the best but has good transport comunication. Only 2 negative notes:the same TV channel(sports and sports) all the time. The terrace is too sunny.

DESIDERATA: the dorms have good isolation for the noise and the temperature;so make the salon & terrace for animations, healthing travellers for friendship and sensuality..

Nice staff, nice rooms and pretty design. The only weak point is the fact of being out of the maps of Barcelona (difficult to find the way back except with the metro).
