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.

I am overall happy about my stay and would like to give an objective review of my experience. I like the cleanliness of the rooms, bedlinen and bathroom. The cleaning department does a great job, I reckon. The main issue I had was with the front office staff. I did not meet anyone whom I would see as "friendly, polite or helpful". When I checked in, I was assigned a upper bunk bed without considering my physical conditon, mainly weight and mobility issues. The ladder to the upper bed was too narrow and I found it extremely difficult to climb. This was brought to the attention of Monica and the other guy with long hair at the reception. They chose to laugh and not give a fair solution. This led to a health and safety issue for me as well as the other person sleeping below. Other things were ok, but they need to be friendly and welcoming, and many international visitors complained about this, despite feeling positive about cleanliness and facilities. It is location is also a major benefit. It is just walking distance from most city attractions. Hope the staff issue would be sorted and Urbanz would be a welcoming place for travellers from all regions, countries, ages and walks of life.
