Amazing stay, great location

The staff were so welcoming and the hostel had a great vibe as soon as you walked in. The room was great and you get to pick your own bed, the view from the room was stunning. There were events put on in the downstairs communal area every night too! Definitely a great hostel for travelers like me who aren’t wanting a party hostel but still enjoy the option of the different events every night. The location is fab for exploring London, nearby a number of tube and DLR stations.

BIG property, clean and modern, very advanced for a hostel while still having great prices

This property is very modern, clean, with great options for privacy like lockers that don’t require padlocks and curtains on the beds.

Nothing major, but it is a large property and it can take some time to get up and down from your room, especially on the floors above 7 which require you to take both the elevators and the stairs.

The hostel is near the Towel bridge and Aldgate east station. The bed and bathroom was quite clean.

It's little bit expensive. You should but a towel whose price is about 2 pounds and you also need 10 pounds for a deposit when you lend a hair dryer.

Good and value for money.

Good location. The bathroom is spacious.

No sink in the loo and only in the shower room which means you can’t wash your hands when someone is in the shower. Bunk bed mattress was not very comfortable.

“I had a great stay at Wombat Hostel yesterday. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a perfect spot for travelers looking for a comfortable and budget-friendly place to stay. I’d definitely consider coming back!”

“My stay at Wombat Hostel was enjoyable overall, but the loud noise from cars and trains passing nearby was a bit disruptive, especially at night. It might not be ideal for light sleepers. However, the rest of the experience was positive.”

Excellent hostel, friendly, welcoming and good value

Wombats was a perfect base to explore London. We had a private quadruple room with our own terrace with amazing views of the city rooftops. Room was comfy & very clean. Great staff and atmosphere. I stayed with my teenage children and we felt very welcome. Good value for money, highly recommend.

Great hostel at a convenient location

It's a nice place to stay at within walkable distance to London Tower and Tower Bridge. In general, you can get around very well by bus and train. I have stayed with Wombat's before (in Vienna) and was again impressed by the efficiency of the place: at check in you get your own keycard that opens the doors to the different sections of the hostel including your floor, room door and locker. You can select your own bed within the dorm room and get the bedding which you need to put onto your mattress, blanket and pillow. The beds all have individual curtains, lights, safe and power outlets. In the female 6 beds dorm there was a seperate room with a toilet, one with a shower and sink and a sink available for everyone in the room - so sharing the facilities was no problem. I didn't get to see the common room, bar or kitchen as I just stayed one night with late check in and early check out: the reception is staffed 24/7 with lovely and helpful people! The woman in the dorm were really respectful, friendly and quiet. Highly recommend!
