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 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.

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…

Great property Awful beds :(

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.

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.
