About Urbany Hostel London
History
Urbany Hostel occupies a pair of Victorian townhouses on Prince's Square in Bayswater, a neighbourhood characterised by its substantial period properties from the nineteenth century. The square itself forms part of the broader Bayswater conservation area, developed during London's expansion westward. Whether these particular buildings have been purpose-built as hospitality or converted from residential use is not publicly documented, though their architectural vocabulary is consistent with the broader streetscape.
Neighbourhood
Prince's Square lies in Bayswater, Westminster, a district defined by wide tree-lined streets and substantial Victorian and Edwardian terraces. The neighbourhood sits within walking distance of Bayswater Underground station and borders Hyde Park to the east. The area combines residential character with local retail and dining, drawing both leisure visitors and those attending attractions in the West End and South Kensington museums quarter. It remains one of London's more international residential enclaves.
The experience
As a hostel operation, Urbany targets independent and budget-conscious travellers seeking shared or compact private accommodation. Properties in this category typically emphasise social spaces, communal dining, and practical services—luggage storage, self-catering facilities, organised tours—over high-touch concierge. The format allows for extended stays and appeals to younger guests and solo travellers navigating London on limited budgets.
