Wombat’s CITY Hostel, London

I always like it here, it's just a really nice hostel, with nice staff, and a good bed with curtain, charge points, safe etc at a really good price.

More comfortable seats with sockets in the public cafe area (though I get why you might not want that)

Friendly staff. Well thought beds and set up, room was warm, it's a hostel but organized more like a hotel.

The floor didn't look filthy but it actually needed a good vacuum. There is one tiny stool in the room and nothing else to put some stuff on, so I had to repack on the floor and my backpack got extra dirty and all of that ends up on my jacket. There also aren't nearly enough hooks, only a few close together behind the door. Same with the bathroom, only one hook behind the door.

Everything is great!

Can be noisy late at night if you stay in a room above the bar/smoking area

Kitchen was incredible

Room could have been cleaner, especially the bathroom

Very friendly reception people, they helped me a lot to get a taxi to the airport on Christmas Day, very helpful.

Lovely personal space, despite it being a dormitory. I loved how you had a range of facilities to hand within the bed space. The curtains are a great addition to give some privacy. Very clean and reasonably priced given the location and that it was NYE.

The guest kitchen was not accessible after a certain time. Check out was 10am and breakfast served until 10:30, so I left the room at 0930, thinking I'll check out and then enjoy breakfast, but you needed the key card to enter the breakfast room. It also wasn't obvious that bedding had to be stripped, so I had to go back to do that. Breakfast was not good value for money. I suspect most the cost comes from them having to wash up all the tiny pots the food comes in! There was very little option for anyone gluten or dairy free, fruit juice cost an extra £3 and only one coffee machine worked, so you had to queue to get a drink. You're better off popping down the road to Sainsbury's, as it's only small continental offerings at the hostel anyway.

Wonderful place kind staff

The staff was super helpful and friendly

The bins of towels in the hallway

All good!

Everything. The serenity and cleanliness

It was the best stay in london. It exceeded my expectation. I will book again from this hostel ince i come back to london. They even let me check in early at 10am so i was soo soo happy and grateful . Thanks to the staff who let me checked in early.

They dont have socket inside the room near to toilet or sink to i can use my own hair dryer to straightener. U have to go down near to the reception to be able to use the hair dryer

The room is big

I couldn't plug the adapter, because the shelf is so close to the socket and the adapter is bigger.

Location was excellent, staff were wonderful. My favourite hostel in London/Europe.

That I had to leave.

Lockers in every room and bed

No

The social atmosphere was great. There were a lot of activities on at the hostel including comedy and live music and the bar was great. I had two rooms (dorms) and thought the second room was very spacious and light. The bests were comfy and had the essential charger, light and safe and there were lockers for bags. The kitchen was very well equipped and quite large - probably the best I have seen so far. Staff were friendly and super helpful.

My first room on the ground floor was very dark and crowded in comparison to the second as the window looked onto the courtyard and was not very private, hence the blinds were often kept shut. There were a few mechanical issues with a toilet and a heater but these were either minor or fixed quickly once the staff learned about them.

A very warm and friendly behaviour of Wombats staffs... 👍😊

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.
