Urbany Hostel Barcelona

Decent atmosphere hostel in a great location near the trainstation at Clot. Great for viewing the Grand Prix and the city.

Everything is perfect except the washroom in the room. The design of the washroom is bad so that lights dont turn on when you are showering and the shower takes quite some skill to master. Any other thing is perfect, especially there is a kitchen where you can cook food. Location is great, it is near El Clot renfe station which you can reach the airport by train, also near metro station of Clot and two stations away from Sagrada Familia.

The Urbany Hostel was very clean. We paid $35 a night for our 5 nights stay. There was great accommodations on multiple floors; a kitchen, an all you can eat buffet” for breakfast that is 8€ per person, an outside terrasse area for all as well as a rooftop bar for 18+. There were all kinds of ages, from kids in school field trip, teenagers, young adults and adults. There was a great vibe going between the groups. Each could stay on their own or could connect. However, I was highly surprised of the arrogance of the staff. They were mostly teenage-young adults and they were all very rude. I would speak in Spanish since I am fluent (with an accent) and they would respond in English and not even let me speak. When asked a question they would lift up the head from their phones with simply a nod or a head shake and not even using words. When asked for help, they would sigh and talk to us like we were completely stupid and didn’t know anything. So I had to not ask for anything or else I would feel very uncomfortable with their behavior. It was honestly shocking and disappointing. However, everything else was great.
