Wombat’s CITY Hostel, London

It's an excellent hostel, which I visited the first time. The breakfast was very nice and tasty

I really like the facility. Rooms are clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped. Staff was really polite and helpful. Overall, the experience was really good and absolute value for money.

I faced an issue with the locker, the battery of which ran out one morning. Thankfully, I had nothing urgent inside of the locker, but could have been a problem if I was checking out. Staff, however, were kind enough to take prompt action and the locker was functional by the time I reached back at night. Another small concern was the cleanliness in the common kitchen, for which, I can't completely blame the management. However, equipments such as the electric kettle could be cleaned regularly.

The property is big enough, it’s modern, it’s clean. The staff was nice, they have their own coffee place, which is also comfortable. In case needed they have the kitchen with basic supplies and even pans etc. For me that was something “extra”, but very comfortable. The rooms are clean, shower and the toilet are separated inside rooms, which is also very very comfy. Out of all the hostels I have been around Europe I found this one as the most comfortable and clean. they have safe, where you can plug your phone to charge and leave inside, curtains and a small light to not to disturb others.

Have to think, dont have anything in mind…

Great room and staff, good coffee. Sadly almost no food available at the cafe, just croissants and sandwitches. Otherwise all the rest is just perfect

Very calming area, Staff are very friendly & the room was very clean and nice

I could hear loud music in the night.

Perfect location near all major destinations, with great facilities and amazing staff. There are many halal restaurants close to the hostel, which was very convenient. I will definitely come again.

NA

Everything was perfect

Great 👍

Good location, with good access to places to eat, and trains and buses. I enjoyed the pub quiz at the wombar as well. Staff were courteous, beds were sturdy. Very good place to stay for cheap.

Not helpful that it's so close to the tracks, especially if you're a light sleeper. Also the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.

Slept well; not noisey. Beds didn't creak.

Toilet room in bedroom didnt have a sink. Shower and sink in different room

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
