We arrived late and there was a very easy check in and check out process.
New ZealandVery close to the airport bus stop as well as the main bus terminal. Decent and free WiFi (which is not always obvious in NZ), big, comfortable bed.
HungaryIt’s nice and warm inside and plenty of hot water, the kitchens good , I love the cozy ness in the living room downstairs
New ZealandI don't have a lot of experience of staying in a hostel, but I'm sure Urbanz is definitely of the standouts. As a backpacker traveling alone, I don't quite need some extra exciting activities or so. Just a clean and comfy bed, good hot shower water and a spacious dining hall where there I'm able to relax for a while without any interruptions. And Urbanz caters to my requirements all and beyond. I hope I could stay there for a longer time 😔
New ZealandI've only stay at Urbanz for a night and everything went great. The room was clean and the shower was good. The lounge area was quite spacious, with couches, chairs and cushions. The kitchen was well organized
BrazilGreat location, kitchen and lounge facilities were great. Definitely one of the best hostels in Christchurch. Double rooms are a good deal for friends/couples
United States of AmericaHuge well stocked kitchen with nice view. Close to Fresh Choice grocery, CBD and Inter City Bus Station.
United States of AmericaHostel was quiet, comfortable and nice social areas. Helpful staff. Location is great.
United KingdomGreat place, right at the city centre. Comfy bed. Would stay here again.
Czech RepublicThough a member of YHA, I chose urbanz through booking.com for higher ratings and lower price (even with my YHA discount). Proved to be a good move. Full height lockers, superior beds/bedding, overall a very nice atmosphere in a clean, complete facility for backpackers.
