It was very clean, ensuite did the job and the dining facilities were perfect. Staff and other guests were respectful of our young children. Thanks! ##### Jane Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Pieter Apr 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Pieter Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### david Apr 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### david Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### CHIENMING Mar 14, 2023 Liked: Staff & service #### Perfect location with nice price The location is perfect. It’s very close to downtown Christchurch and room is clean . However, the air conditioner is not good enough. You need to find the parking by yourself. I was lucky to find one just right in front of Urbanz. ##### CHIENMING Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Janaya Jul 17, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Family room very run down ##### Janaya Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria Sep 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Location Great location in the heart of Christchurch. Close to lots of restaurants, river n tourist spots. Only issue is the double bed is too short. My toes hung off the edge of the bed and i am 5'5. My husband's feet hung off the bed. Other than that, room was clean n tidy, huge kitchen. ##### Victoria Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nathan Mar 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service 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. ##### Nathan Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ko Feb 17, 2024 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. ##### Ko Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Philip Sep 25, 2023 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 ) ##### Philip Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ray Jan 26, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Got refused as id got left behind was allowed to stay had to find alternative accommodation at xtra xspence and trying to get refund was bad didn’t end up receiving my 129$ complete rip off staff where rude unhelpful and disrespectful worst service ever will be takeing this as far as I can to let people know off the worst service ever shame on you ##### Ray Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bambi Nov 17, 2023 Liked: Staff & service 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. ##### Bambi Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rusiru Jan 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Rusiru ### 8/10 Good #### Cesar Apr 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Cesar Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Klara Mar 5, 2024 ##### Klara Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villas Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Villas-Vallarta.h63325949.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dildo](https://www.expedia.ca/Dildo-Hotels.d6290243.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Playa del Carmen](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601751-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Motel Bonsoir](https://www.expedia.ca/Granby-Hotels-Motel-Bonsoir.h10238855.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Grand-Sirenis-Riviera-Maya-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h1580487.Hotel-Information) > > [Arribas Sintra Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Arribas-Sintra-Hotel.h1065271.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Muskoka District](https://www.expedia.ca/Muskoka-District-Cabins.d6343146-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Cheap Hotels in Sault Ste.
