Lock in a great price for Wombats Hostel London – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

The common room in the lobby was great to have. Staff was friendly and engaging. Nice to use access cards to get into hostel and room versus actual keys. Plenty of toilet paper stocked in room. Free walking tour meets you in the lobby and walks you to the meeting location!

The place is quite accesible and the staff is warmly friendly. There are activities almost every day. The bar opens at 6 so you have plenty of time if you want to hang out while you play (they can borrow you a Nintendo or more things) or rest.

The location was great, right in the end of Zone 1, just a short walk to any of the bus or tube. Great for the value. The bar downstairs was nice, and all the amenities were wonderful. Staff was friendly.

Sabrina

United States of America

The hostel is modern and has a special 'traveler' vibe. Breakfast is good for such a price, the bar in the cellar is good!, we stayed in a private room for 2, basic but comfortable, shower and bathroom were good, staff was polite and friendly.

Great location, big room, everything clean, very cozy common areas and excellent breakfast. The breakfast area/bar is pretty amazing as well, totally recommended!

Monique

Everything was great as always! Really like the bathroom. It was modern and clean.

Sandra

It’s very chic and comfortable and cozy. The decor is really nice and I felt like I was more at a boutique hotel than a hostel. The bar downstairs was a nice touch too.

Super quiet for a hostel (I stayed in a private room). The bar area is very cool! I loved paying a small fee for late checkout.

“This place could be so much better if the beds were cleaner”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 2 nights
Sorry but the mattresses were really disgusting. I don't even want to think about what the stains were. The beds were not ready to use as opposed to the pictures on the website. Even for a hostel this should be a standard. Don't get me wrong i don't expect Hotel-like standards. But either you have nice looking mattresses then it's fine to let your guests prepare the beds or you prepare the bedsheets yourself so the guest does not have to touch or see whats under it. (This is is valid for a dorm room, don't know about the single rooms).
The breakfast was good and absolutely no reason to complain. Also the staff was very friendly and the "wombar" was a very cozy place. The location is a very good one as it is near to a major train station.

Breakfast perhaps a little bit simple in some respects, but there were quite a few options.
Good location, easy to access. Staff were friendly and helpful.

While some staff were very nice and helpful with beautiful smiles, some of they looked and acted as if they didn't want to be there. They were also very slow to help when I was at reception and I was the only person there as well.
The room was very clean and was spacious, had plenty of room to spread more luggage to get things in and out of suitcase. Love that you can access locker with your keycard, one less thing to worry about having to carry a separate key for a padlock.

The bunk beds squeak like crazy due to the wooden panelling, so if you are a light sleeper, you arent able to get a decent rest.
Clean facilities, fun and energetic staff, nice range of breakfast choices and in a very central location for attractions and tube stations.
