Overall Ratings & Reviews Wombat's City Hostel London

Amazing

The property was very close to the London tower and had quite a few restaurants within walking distance. Although transportation was a bit far from the hostel, I felt it was still easy to reach and it was easy to get around the city. The room was also very clean and nice, I really enjoyed having privacy curtains and big lockers in the room. There were also many events happening so it’s easy to meet people. Overall a great place to stay if you’re solo traveling!

Staff were helpful and friendly..cant wait to stay again.

Had the BEST stay at wombats. The staff were friendly and helpful, even let me do laundry after my checkout time. Stayed in an 8 bed dorm and each bed comes with a fan and safe, which was a huge plus as it got quite muggy in the room. If there were wombats locations to where I'm travelling next, I'd be staying there for sure. The location is great with Tower Hill station a 5 min walk away and lots of local pubs in the area. Super accessible. Would happily return!

The room is not sound proof… They only give you bed sheets etc and you have to set up the bed by yourself, and you have to return those to reception. If someone arrive late or leave early, this can make a lot of noise, not to mention that the bunk bed is made of steel, which amplifies the noise. Besides, the bathroom is inside the room, you can hear it clearly when someone is using. Towel rent 2pounds, luggage storage 4pounds for 8h small locker, no shower gel or shampoo…

its comfortable to stay here

Very clean and continent place to stay in London. Will come back again for sure.

Good staff and service

Staff was very helpful when there was an issue! Had a great time

Living up to it’s reputation as the best hostel chain

Stayed here as a solo female traveler. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I thought this place wasnt that busy, but everyone is at the WomBar! Highly recommended you head down there to socialize. The only issue I had was a weird smell in the bathroom. I'm not sure if that was because I had messy roommates or if there was another issue.

The double bed had two seperate covers

Beds are AWFUL! It’s a 4 inch thick light weight foam pad on top of a metal slat bed frame. I couldn’t sleep all night even though u was trashed from going out. My back was ruined the next day. Besides the bed the property was spectacular. The bar is great for meeting people and the facilities are clean.

Staff make this place! Great for solo Aussie travellers

My first time staying at a Hostel. So i was skeptic. So I decided to book the 'higher end' 4 bed and still save big $ over a london hotel. I lucked out with great roomies. I was so impressed with the common areas. I didnt cook, but if i go back i will. Some of the dishes were so creative....looked and smelled amazing. Love the bar area too. Taking advantage of the optional and inexpensive locker storage was a huge help. I had a late flight and had time to sight see without having to lug the extras. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The vibe was great! Lots of people from all over the world, cool bar, many events. The place was super clean and modern. Rooms and amenities were comfortable and felt safe. Would totally recommend and go again on my next visit to London. It’s not so close from downtown but easy to get on public transport. Staff was very kind.

You get what you pay for. Excellent service and staff at front desk . Clean rooms but windows usually difficult to shut and don’t keep all noise out. There will (naturally) be noise until around 10pm inside the hostel. Perfect for a cheap night and early start stay in central London.

The price was great. It was very convenient for our event at the Tower of London. The breakfast was very good value for money. All round an excellent overnight stay.

I don’t typically post reviews but this experience wasn’t a great one. I have stayed here in the past and loved those experiences and had no issues as such. But the photos displayed show mold and these shower conditions left me feeling unsafe to continue sleeping and led me to check out early. When I spoke to the staff at the front counter about the incident not even as much an apology was issued for the uncleaned state of the bathroom. On top of this, I was there when the cleaning crew for the morning came in. The woman cleaning, didn’t even make an effort to clean or bleach the moldy shower. She came in threw some soap down and let the shower run for a few seconds before drying with a damp cloth and proceeded to do similar with other shared facilities in the room.
