I like the people that were guest, i like the employees of the hostel. I liked everything.

Jefferson Ireland

I arrived in London on July 18th and stayed at Urbany for 2 nights. I bikepacked across England for almost a month and at the end of my trip I had to go back to London. I didn't think twice and stayed at Urbany again for 3 nights before coming back to Argentina. Amazing place. The staff are doing a great job: always polite, friendly, helpful and professional. Hope to visit them again soon. Lupe, Argentina.-

The staff is super friendly and often organizes events in the evening (drinks or movies). Overall, the hostel is fairly clean. Each bed has two power outlets and two USB charging ports.

  • Hi I'm just enquiring about the age restriction of the property? I am 63 looking to book. Would this be a problem?
    Hi there! Thanks for the inquiry. Our policy states 18 - 40 years, as our hostel is aimed towards backpackers/travellers. Because our hostel often promotes parties, has 4 floors & no lift this can sometimes be an issue. Sorry for any inconvenience.
