i really enjoyed my stay at Urbanz! the hostel is really cute and clean which is so nice! the staff is super nice and the location is amazing! the hostel is right next to new regent street and so close to town! there are so many good facilities and common areas that you can use! the dorm rooms have lockers which is really nice and there are plenty of clean bathrooms and showers! the kitchen is also nice, however i didn't think there was enough appliances or kitchenware for the amount of people there.
