Urbanz is located in the centre of the city, so all city facilities are within walking distance. Yet, no noises from the outside world find their way inside. Kitchen is well equipped, showers and toilets are plenty and clean. Beds are comfortable.

The place is in a great location, super close to downtown, very walkable. However the room was not what we had booked, the pictures and room were quite different. the room felt very unsafe, no windows or air flow, and the small skylight was another story from the roof. Overall didnt enjoy our stay.

Did like being transferred to a quieter, larger ensuite room by very thoughtful staff. Hated initially being in the small ensuite opposite one of the main bathrooms with noisy banging doors going late into the night. This is a dud room.

The staff was friendly, and the property was in a good location, and pretty clean for a hostel. The room had a harsh smell (paint/chemical), and was located next to a door for a stairwell. Every time the door closed there was a very loud click. This happened half a dozen times an hour. Knowing how loud that door is, they should have placed a storage room here instead of somewhere someone is supposed to sleep. I had earplugs in, and was still woken up by the loud click.

The receptionist man needs lessons in communication (They had a problem with providing the required passes for car parking .) However we ultimately enjoyed our time there ( though the partitition walls were not acoustic and the fire door from the kitchen shrieked whenever it was used through the night )

We were quite disgusted to see someone else’s hair on our pillows upon check in. The walls are so thin you can clearly hear everything that’s going on around you and the shower I chose was broken. We were told there was free parking but it was a 10 min walk away in the rain with our belongings. We did like that it was close to a lot of bars and dining options though.

The only reason I stayed here was because my tour group was meeting there early in the morning of the start date. Otherwise, I would’ve stayed in an actual hotel. I’ve only interacted with the staff at check in, and they were nice. But the cleanliness of the bathrooms was abysmal. The drains in the showers on the mezzanine level were clogged, one of which to the point where the water wasn’t draining at all. There was no soap in any of the bathrooms. Luckily I had Lysol so I sprayed the door knobs of the bathrooms before touching them. If you’re staying here, pay extra to get a private bath. Or pay extra to stay in a nicer hotel.

stayed here a couple times now, it’s in a great location in Christchurch, and the facility is nice, it doesn’t have the super cramped feel of a lot of hostels. If you’re near the kitchen it can get noisy early am but it’s a hostel…Staff had been very helpful as well.
