Wombat’s CITY Hostel, London

Very chilled common areas

Rolling the dice on sharing with good room mates. Snoring can ruin your full trip. Haha

This Hostel is one of the best, daily cleaning of rooms and shared spaces. Nice well equiped kitchen. As a solo traveller this is the best i have seen

The mattress is quit flat, but if you are here for only a few days, its okay

Everything is well organised.

Only wanna smoking area should bhi open whole night or should be till 2 like bar.

Good location, recommend, specially for young people

A bit noisy, even after 10 that should not be the case

The lockers where the best. The same card you use to enter the room is the one you use to open and close your locker. It made me feel my luggage was safe. Moreover, after checking-out you can leave you can store your luggage and is a self-service where you use a machine to pay for the time you'll need to store (e.g., 1 hour, 8 hours, etc.) and come at any hour to take your luggage; for this service they have to locker sizes, like medium and big, both with enough space to put everything you need.

Well located, close to both Tower Hill and Aldgate East underground stations. There’s many shops nearby, so you can move around on foot. The hostel has a small café with the best carrot cake you’ll ever experience.

Nobody cleaned our room or the bathroom at least in two days. Curtains don’t block the room light completely. I got a pain in the neck because the pillow was too thin.

I’m feeling like home!! Thank you !!!🤩

Everything you need or want in a hostel, great location too

Would like something warm for breakfast

The have good stuff live and work like family , and the best location, but room small and old blankets

Best hostel in London!

Surrounding and all facilities at one place

Nothing so far

Yes

Convinient and easy process

All the staff were very nice - so patient, helpful and friendly. It was my first time travelling alone and staying in London, and the hostel made me feel so comfortable. I wiil always be grateful! ❤️

All good, will come back in future All services available, smiley and friendly staff Very close to tower bridge area and other central london locations

It’s near to the Tube station and safe. They have locker in every bed

Everything from the facilities, to the cleanliness, to the staff was fantastic. I didn’t have breakfast but I can imagine it’s lovely as well. Location and price wise I can’t recommend this hostel enough, I don’t think you can find cheaper in central London. This is the second time I’ve stayed in Wombats and probably will again in the future. Thank you all!

Amazing location, easy check in and checkout, good facilities overall, nice privacy even in mixed dorm, good lockers

Could have used a bench maybe in the room to sit on or put stuff on only one small stool but overall rest was great

Very clean, great facilities in each bed. I like the private bathrooms

That I had to put the sheets on myself.

Comfortable rooms, showers and toilets are separate and both inside the room, great space, enough for everyone in the room, clean and neat, helpful and kind staff, great sharing room, kitchen and bar. You will have everything you need in a hostel. I will choose to stay here again when I come to London.

A bit far away from the center of London. Need to use the transportation every time. The bus and metro station are 10 minutes away But still I didn’t find that very difficult

efficiency, big lounge and kitchen clean spaces

out of order lifts which can't really be controlled

The hostel exceeded my expectations. Perfectly located, close to many attractions and just a 10-minute walk to several metro lines. My room was very quiet, and the dorms are spacious with curtains providing real privacy. The staff is friendly and helpful. Easily the best hostel I’ve stayed at in London—I can’t wait to return.

Everything.

Very clean hostel

Nothing

Clean, cool spaces, amazing dorms and facilities. The bar area was amazing and the cafe in the lobby was a life saver on those early mornings sight seeing when I needed a quick coffee first.

The dryers didn’t really work and I had to pay 5 pounds for it anyway. Also the elevator stopped working after the first day, and carrying my bags down on checkout was painful, but I understand it was a process to get it fixed, so I understand why it took a while.

It is an amazing place to stay. Nicely managed and very clean. The beds have separate plug points, fans and even curtains (great). Walkable distance to the tube station.

Nothing in specific.

Near the station and bus stops. The room is large and clean.

The elevator failed to operate. They charge for leaving the luggage even when you have bookings there. Not sure they provide cookware to cook ourselves.

The staff are so friendly and helpful. I felt safe during my stay there and liked the hostel atmosphere. The location is also good as it is close to several attractions and not far away from several tube stations. I would definitely come back again.

The room was not fully cleaned. There was dust under the bed and in the corner. The toilet had a weird smell after it was cleaned. I guess the cleaning process could be improved. My pillow was not comfortable as it was too low. After my first night, I woke up with my neck hurting. I started to place my jacket underneath to to sleep a bit more comfortably. Other than that, the place is great.

Lobby-Bar-Kitchen and rooms are fine

Nothing so far

Friendly staff, clean rooms and not too much of a shock for a 50yo who hasn't stayed in a hostel for 20+ yrs!

I went as a solo traveller and my first time at a British hostel. The vibe and atmosphere were electric and social. It was a little fancy in many respects, but still was very homey. The place was beyond comfortable and I will be coming back again. The underground bar is like no other, it is incredible in the weekends and reasonably priced for London.

The breakfast, though good, was slightly lacking in variety, like there was no cereal and other breakfast foods. They constantly try to upsell an overpriced ~£5 glass of fresh orange juice which is ludicrous. The privacy in rooms was great, but something to bear in mind as I noticed it curbs social interaction with other guests.

Clean and decent size rooms.

not very accommodating staff

Great location and friendly helpful staff!

A little higher in price for a hostel.

Clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. Everyone in the dorm was respectful . 10 min walk from underground and central areas. Glad I stayed here

The key card to open lockers

The tag you hang on the bed. Just assign beds

Location, atmosphere and organization of the hotel facilities.

For this price for a bunkbed in a hostel, I was not expecting to have to make the linens myself and to have to rent the towels.

Everywhere is so clean, a secured environment and friendly personnels. Good value for money.

The location was very good. The rooms were excellent, and the toilets and showers were great. The lockers were spacious, and there were plenty of outlets available to charge our devices.

It was quite hot during the night, and when I tried to turn on the small fan provided for each bed, I noticed it was completely covered in dust. This immediately triggered my rhinitis, causing my nose to become blocked and affecting my ears as well, as I’m very allergic. I informed the reception, since it was clear the fan hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.

This hostel was great! Very clean, social and the underground social area was so big and easy to find space to chill out. Kitchen was also great

Convenient stay

Great location, close to train and bus stations. The security lock and fan on each bed I found them amazing, hasn’t seen that in any previous hostel and were super convenient. Also the lockers are big and feel very safe. The toilet and shower are very spacious and nice, having them inside the room is definitely a plus.

I think the toilet/shower wasn’t cleaned frequently enough, 2 times per day would be good for a shared room. The refrigerators in the kitchen were a total mess.

I have been staying in wombats city hostels since 2024. I stayed in munich many times Austria 1 time & now london 1 time. It's awesome.

The only thing that they should improve the breakfast quality & add few more things in it.

I was satisfied with the room, facilities and the location of the hostel.If you’re looking somewhere to stay go for it.

Very central place and price for value is very high. Nice bar downstairs, everything is clean, good coffee on the ground floor. Very friendly staff.

It is a bit odd that You need make your bed yourself and there are no free towel for use in private rooms in 21 st century. Also check in process is long if you arrive from the start.

Great staff, good location. Bar is really nice

N/a

Nice staff, nice vibe, safe and good location!

Perfect location for discovering the city, super nice personell, guest kitchen with fridges and all you need for cooking, food that was still good but left unused by guests was free for other guests to use, the rooms were rather quiet and cleaned every day, the beds had curtains and the lockers were fully functional and good-looking. It was a really nice stay!

I stayed in 6 bed female room, and I loved it. Each bed has curtain and a safe box, which ensures your privacy and security. Also, the location was perfect, very close to Tube, to bus stations and very close to London bridge. The Kitchen was fully equipped, and it was very big. The bar was also very nice and every night they had some sort of activity like Comedy night, or pop quiz, etc. Love it, and I recommend it.

the towels for for an extra costs

Easy, noone is breaking balls.

The female only rooms were not available for booking online. Luckily at check-in it was possible to swap.

The location is excellent for getting to know the city. The room is clean and with everything you need. The staff loved him very well and the bar good to spend the night

The comfort of the bunks was not the best
