I stayed at Wombat’s Hostel in Munich for a week - longer than I originally planned - and it turned out to be a solid experience overall. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, and the lounge area was a great place to sit and get some work done during the day. Everything was kept clean with proper daily maintenance, which I really appreciated. A week felt a bit long for a hostel stay, but overall it was comfortable and well managed.
The only real downside for me was the neighborhood. It didn’t feel particularly pleasant - noisy and not the nicest area to walk around, especially in the evenings.

Good value for money & the location is good.
The location, it's only a stone throw away from the Munich central station.
No curtain for every bed. There was bo privacy in bed! Everyone in the room could see your sleeping style!

The location was very convenient, connected to the all major means of transportation. Most of the staff members were extremely helpful. The kitchen was very well equipped and spacious. It was very safe and had a in-house bar.
The room we stayed could have been better ventilated. The common seating space could have been a bit more cleaner.

The location is near the central station and old town and is walkable, with convenient access to shopping, restaurants, and transport. I was there during Oktoberfest, and it was safe to walk late at night coming from Theresienwiese. There is a place to leave your luggage before check-in and after check-out. The room was of a good size, and it was comfortable. Even staying in an 8-bedroom, you can still have your own space and a bit of privacy. It was also quiet at night as my room was in the inner part of the building. The hostel room was clean, and the staff were attentive and helpful. Lockers in the room are available and big enough to store medium-sized luggage and can be locked using the key card.
There is nowhere to hang towels. On my last night, one guest was able to bring a lady with her to share a bed, which made it uncomfortable for the rest of us, noting there were female guests in the room.

I liked the facilities and the location the most.
The lockers were broken, so I couldn’t leave my luggage feeling safe. Moreover, there was no hair dryer in the rooms, I had to pay to the reception, I wish it was free.

Very good location, nice hostel overall
Loud and my room was very dirty due to people getting inside with dirty shoes and walking around in them, hairs everywhere, some of the girls were very inconsiderate and would be loud and turn on the light in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping. Maybe a rule could be implemented about that.

Cool shared area
Not much happening in the area really!

Double check if the staff checked you in
Good location to train station but streets are not safe be aware of the people always
Check in was smooth but turned out the staff lady gave me the card but didn’t check me in on the system, so I lost the room and was changed (downgraded) from a 4 person room to a 6 person room and smaller:(

Great location near railway station.
Great location. Quite comfy beds. Shower was brilliant.
Whole place was overheated and rooms were so hot. Could only open the windows a Crack and had a lot of noise from the street. Bar never seemed to have a bar tender when I popped down for a drink.

The hostel is very close to the train station, and checking in and out was pretty easy.
It had nothing to do with the place, really. I just think that hostels in general are not for me.

Good place to stay for connectivity. If you are ok with sounds it’s a great place to stay.
Location and ease of finding.
Lot of loud music and sounds from the road is loud unless u close the windows which prevents lot of air circulation.

If you are a solo traveler who is looking to dump your luggage and need a bed for night, this can be a good option; othe
Its basic, nothing special; the location is advantageous but a drawback as well; the location and the surrounding is a bit dingy; if you use it for sleeping at night, then its fine
Location is a bit dingy Breakfast is not good, very very limited

Staff was very friendly and responsive. Bathroom was ok. I like the living space at ground floor and a locker with room card detect was awesome because i do not need to use my own lock.
I was aware to put on and off the bed sheet and everything my own but when it comes to the moment, just thinking it would be great if it can be done by hostel as I used up all my stamina to travel all day and just wish to lay on a bed that was ready. My shared room is facing the main street, i cant stand the noise coming from the street but the window of the room have to be open to ensure the air circulate, so much conflict.

There is a seating area in the lobby with charging sockets, there is a kitchen and a bar, a young people's atmosphere. The bed is very comfortable, the place is clean. The room was well lit
The price is a bit high for the value, but that's probably because of Oktoberfest. I didn't get a towel on time. There was no soap in the shower, only by the sink outside the shower doors. People were snoring in the room... They insisted that I wear a bracelet that proves I'm a hotel guest, that's how it is during the festival, they said

The Staff are Superb
The staff are amazingly proficient and on-the-ball. Great group!
Nothing. It is the future, esp. when you get your new ZOB next door.

Comfy and funky
Great facilities including kitchen. Lovely staff who reserved me a bottom bunk as I was coming in after midnight due to travel connections. Great location near train station and groceries.
Not to do with the building, but a noisy room mate who rattled plastic bags for over an hour in the morning before everyone got up.

The convenient location is a reason I'd gladly stay again.
Location is central and very near to Main train station, easy to commute S-Bahn,U-bahn, trams .I walked almost everywhere in the city for sightseeing except to places that is further away, i need to get a day ticket that allows me to use the bus, trams, metro, train etc.. I was in a 6 per female dorm..Spacious enough room to have your bags/ luggage with you. Have charging point in each bed. Alot of Arabic/ African restaurants/ shops nearby.
No bed curtain for privacy. Room is hot in August with only one fan! Window can be slightly open with a gap, not enough air to cool down the room.If open fully, you get noise from outside. Bed mattress could be firmer but i did sleep ok.

The room had a good size, it was comfortable. The locker with incorporated key was a good feature. The kitchen had free tea, and the common space is nice. They have a place to leave the luggage after the check out, that was nice.
The kitchen is open from 7.30am to 22h. If you want to get a glass of water or have a tea outside those hours, you need to buy, that's not good. The area around the main station is a bit shady but it was ok. I don't know if I'd have felt secure if I was out until late at night being a woman alone.

Comfortable stay
The bathroom was in the room with 6 women so it was convenient. The common area was pretty. There is a bar onsite which is convenient, though I didn't have a chance to go. Good location!
Nothing though I was only there for one quick night (arrived late, left early).

A really, really nice place! It was my first time staying at a hostel, so I was a bit nervous, and everything went smoothly. I did my check in at 12pm, and although they didn't have my room ready yet (which was expected, as check-in is at 2pm), they gave me access to the storage room and a key to go to the toilet! I stayed in a female-only room and the room was spacious, which a big table and two fans. You even get a key to a locker! The beds were really comfortable and they even had a night light! I was lucky enough that everyone in my room was really respectful, so I did not have any problems with noise. The common spaces were really nice (I didn't have time to check them out, but they look like a good spot to meet people) and the personal was top-notch! Special shutout to the lady who speaks Spanish (No pensé en preguntarte el nombre!) who was incredibly nice and professional. The location couldn't have been better, as it's right in front of the main train station, but I can understand why some people may find it unsafe.
The only thing that I think can be fixed is by adding curtains to the bed: in my room we all had to improvise with either towels or clothes. That is everything that can be fixed!

Great value for money
Everything was quite good. I love the attitude of the staff that are ready to help, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the roommates were great too
The location was convenient as it's close to the main station, but it did not feel completely safe in the evening because of unfriendly-looking people on the streets. It is better to return to the hostel a bit earlier

There’s no air conditioner in the room, it’s hot in daytime A little noisy at night It would be better if the bed have curtain

It is a good, well run, clean hostel.
It's very close to the train station, which is its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. The people on the streets close to the hostel are pretty rough. Luckily, the clientele seemed pretty good.
