Zara was an amazing addition to the team! Good communication, good work and always ready to work around the hostel, even outside of work hours. Dear next host, you won't regret having her on your team :) And thanks again Zara, come back anytime :D

Staying at Urban the hostel was the best time ever in a hostel. If you want to meet people from all around the world, have fun, and make real friends, this is the place to go. The hostel has a cool vibe, and you can easily connect with other travelers. The common areas are lively and perfect for making new friends. Whether you're chatting over a meal or joining the hostel's events, there's always a chance to meet interesting people. Urban the hostel is a fun and welcoming community where you can create lasting memories. Also, Freddy, the manager, gives great advices for exploring Budapest

The best hostel I've ever stayed. Friendly environment and great place to meet much people, have fun and party every day. A lot of things to do, it's impossible to get bored, from morning to late night. The work can sometimes be hard, but well scheduled and always fun. I felt part of the family since the first minute, hope to come back again!

This is definitely the best hostel I've ever stayed at! Urban the hostel is a great place to meet amazing beautiful people, do tons of different activities and party everyday. Both the guests and the volunteers are incredible and there's always something to do. The work can sometimes be hard, but the fun you have is worth it. If you're a social person and you like to get to know others and party all night long, this is the place for you! I couldn't recommend volunteering here enough. After a month at urban i'm already planning my return💘

Overall the experience was alright … I volunteered at urban and the hostel is cozy , they provide food everyday, accommodation is ok, working hours are longer than 5 hours a day and you need to be present in the daily meetings even though is your day off so I found that a little bit annoying but I had a great time. They run pub crawls every day and also river parties (my favs)… you will be able to meet tons of people and have fun for sure ! Just as feedback.. management in Urban could improve as is lack of empathy or good vibes.. lots of volunteers left in less than 2 day when I stayed there

What can I say…. I miss this place so so much. Honestly you have to be able to work fast and good but I would do it all over again because of the people. If you search for meeting the best people, apply now!

I had a mixed experience volunteering with this hostel. The positives—it is a fun environment with a great social vibe. It is easy to make friends and fun if you like to party. I recommend this experience if you are outgoing and love a drink! Some feedback: the volunteering experience isn't as advertised. It says 25 hours per week, but no volunteer does that few hours. They ask volunteers to do all activities like pub crawls and day activities in addition to those hours (and it's expected you do these extra hours). Also, it's more like 1-2 meals a day (basic meals) as food budget is small

If i had seen the pictures of the accommodations beforehand i would not have gone there. The hours were definitely more than expected. I stayed at the urban and for me the amount of food that was offered was good, everyday we would make volunteer shopping so it always had enough. I had the best time talking to the guests and going out at night everyday. I was supposed to stay for 15 days but stayed only 10 because i got really sick and i only had the cleaning job and using cleaning products wasn't helping By the end, i got used to the hardwork and i kind of miss the sense of community

My 5 weeks in Wild elephant were great! The party is amazing there, I met so many cool guests from different parts of the world and other volunteers were great but be ready that the work hours are pretty intense.

This is the worst hostel I have ever volunteered at. Let me explain why. First of all, the 16-person dormitory we stayed in was stuffy, crowded and had only one window, which did not open to the outside but to a corridor. The 4th floor of the hostel was reserved only for the managers. Although it was stated on social media or in the hostel's bible that “this hostel belongs to guests and volunteers”, the volunteers, or rather free laborers, are accommodated in inhumane conditions. In fact, this is why most volunteers who come to Urbana leave early (like me) and o have not enough space for cont.

Dear Ismail,

I believe there are some things that you didn't fully understand during your stay with us. First of all, multiple of our house rules were broken by you. The work we expect from our volunteers is not different than any other hostel that works with volunteers.

About the 4th floor of the building of The Urban Elephants, we share this building with a different company, the 4th floor are offices that have nothing to do with our hostel. You never asked about this, you made assumptions and had it completely wrong.

Hope you have safe travels wherever you go.

Cheers!
