Urbanz was a great spot to stay for my 3 nights in Christchurch. The top bunk was comfy. Could cook my food and store with adequate fridge storage. Need to take your own tupperware boxes though if you want to store food. Very central location right by the famous tram. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Nice big lounge area with TV and board games
Great to have a kitchen space but only certain pans go on the plug in stove tops until someone told me i did not know why it would not work. You need to take your own padlock for the room locker. Some people used pans for storage of food in fridge.

I booked a private room with no window but was put in a room with a window. Bed and linens were very comfortable. Small closet for storing items. Nice hot water in showers, multiple showers and toilets. Staff carried my heavy rolling duffle bag to my room for me. Place was close to numerous restaurants, about 10 min walk from bus station. I was able to store my luggage there after checkout until time to catch the bus to my next town
I asked for a room in a quiet area but my room faced a busy noisy parking lot. There was no place in the room to attach my pacsafe, only second time I have had that problem. Kitchen was large but very busy with loud guests so I did not cook there. Several guests were loud in hallway after 2300.

The main advantage for me was the central location - it's basically located in the city center, and it's convenient to get wherever you need from there (as it's near the bus interchange). The room was basic but clean. The shared facilities were good. The staff was very kind and helpful. You can store your luggage for free.
It is a backpacker hostel, so it tends to be a bit crowded and noisy in the evening. While it is relatively inexpensive, do note that you could get much better ensuite private rooms for an extra 15-30 NZD, so it could be better in terms of value for money.

One of the highlights of Urbanz is the large community kitchen. It’s incredibly well-equipped, making it easy to prepare your own meals and enjoy a home-cooked meal even while traveling. The extremely comfortable lobby and lounging area are perfect for relaxing, working, or simply unwinding after a day of exploring the city. These communal spaces really enhance the overall experience. An added bonus is the ability to use the facilities even after check-out. This convenience allowed me to store my luggage and freshen up before my late departure, which made my travel day much more comfortable. Despite the central location, the price is very affordable, offering excellent value for the quality and amenities provided.
However, there are a couple of areas for improvement. The cleanliness of the bathrooms and the rooms could be better maintained, and the locks on the room doors could be more secure.

I like that the room was just what i needed in a central location accommodation, A secure door to a Private room, big enough bed, heater and hooks and a bit of entertainment. plus having the USB charging ports was a bonus. The location was very easy to locate and get around the city.
Controlling the temperature in the shower was difficult as it would fluctuate every 5 seconds from cold to hot and not stay at one temperature. The door handle as well didn't feel like it was so secure and nearly locked myself out making sure. Also the tea and coffee was appreciated but the Milk cups were left in a cup unrefrigerated so were instantly inedible. Last thing was the other guests had left their food everywhere marked but I didn't feel like i could put my food anywhere safely and ended up wasting a lot of food in the process.

Clean tidy dorm (for 4), comfy bunks. Plenty of coat hooks, yay!! I liked the swipe card for door to the drom, and the lockers. Good bathroom facilities, good shower head! Really appreciated the storage room for luggage, I checked out then had a day to fill b4 my plane left. Excellent: airport bus timetable on noticeboard. Kitchen: excellent supply of tea towels and system for their use, including towel rails - 5✴️
Periodic cutlery count? Shortage of dinner forks and teaspoons. Supply of large cloths (Chux are good, dry quickly) for us to wipe down table top after eating, would be good. I had paper serviettes, but lots of guests left mess.

Check in was fast, friendly, and efficient. Parking is right next door, and getting the display permit was a breeze. The entire place is exceptionally clean. The rooms are fully carpeted and seem to be vacuumed each day. The room I was in, and the whole place, really, was very quiet. The room also had openable windows which was great to keep the air fresh. Each bed has power sockets, phone storage pouches that support your phone even with the charging cable plugged in. The bed was very comfortable, with fresh clean sheet, pillow case, and duvet, and was perfectly warm. The bunks creak a bit, but not much. The lockers are all together along the wall. Tall and a bit narrow, but still good. The staff are very helpful. The location is excellent, It's within easy walking distance of almost all the city attractions, bars, restaurants, etc. The bus network runs right outside, so catching a bus is a breeze. This is my go-to from now when visiting Christchurch.
There was an "event" in the area which caused traffic congestion and reduced the available parking, and the staff didn't seem to know what it was about. It would seem sensible to ensure that they know what the council is planning, and to tell people as soon as it's organised.

We’ve stayed here before and loved the price for a private room and location! It’s a great affordable place to stay when visiting Christchurch! We had an early flight on departure day so having the car park access near by was super handy for us and cheap rates for that parking or you could park further away on the street for free. The church pub and Mexican restaurant down the street is also handy for a drink or late night eat! The shared bathrooms were always clean and showers got nice and hot!

We booked the family room and it was 2 bunks and a very comfy double bed. It had an en-suite with shower, toilet and sink and the water pressure was good. A jug was provided and coffee cups etc. It also had 4 separate lockers in the room for travellers needing valuables stored. Everything was clean and there was a good kitchen and dining area to make use of. Next door there's a cafe called Child Sister that had fabulous food for breakfast. Well worth visiting. There is free off-street parking in some streets around the location but if you want to see your vehicle from the window the Wilson carpark is next to the building and costs $5 for 24 hours. Well worth the peace of mind.
The jug wasn't able to be filled in the room. We had to lug it up a flight of stairs and round a corridor and down the hall. But that was the ONLY complaint lol. So really a genuinely quality stay.
