The hostel is in a good location, close to cafes, bars etc. The room was fine, but had a skylight in the ceiling that couldn't be covered, so it got light pretty early in the room. Kitchen was well fitted-out for a hostel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ko

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.

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.
