    Great idea having the 3 pin and USB sockets beside every bunk. Every hostel should be like that

    I Loved my Stay @ URBANZ. The Staff are very Busy always cleaning but not interfering and always on the Job . The Management hold a High Standard which is Incredibly Obvious from the Happy Crowd of Backpackers.
