Cool basement bar and nice staff, opened until like 12/1am. They have comedy night which is new. They allow to pay for late check out but it has to be before 2-3am, just remember that. But cool place, curtains on the beds, hot in the summer, walkable to two trains and a bridge!

This was the ideal hostel for me. Having built in curtains for each bed added a fantastic bit of privacy, plus a safe, outlet, and fan for each bed on top of the lockers was perfect.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bedroom accommodations were excellent. Lock-up options in the rooms were included in the price (i.e. no need to rent or purchase a lock which I've had to do at other hostels): a large locker at the room entrance and a small code-operated locker in the bed itself. Beds all also included a small personal fan which was lovely to have and definitely makes the rooms more accessible to all bodies. Rooms were spacious with well-kempt toilets and showers each in the rooms themselves instead of shared facilities outside of the rooms. The shared kitchen was excellent to have and helped me reduce costs for food and also socialize. The kitchen gets very messy though and isn't cleaned out nearly enough - seems like it's just allowed to get as dirty as it gets naturally throughout the day with no concern to it being a shared space for many people (definitely needs more intentional effort to get in and clean out the sinks, put away dishes, clean out shared fridges, etc.). Overall very happy with my stay.

Great hostel. You pay a little bit extra than you would for others but it is so worth it for here. Second time staying here after once in 2023 and this time round was even better. Since my last stay they’ve added curtains to all beds as well as a fan and a safe in each bunk. Only pitfall is the rooms can be quite stuffy depsite the fans. Card swipe for entrance, door room, and you use it to access your locker as well. Bathroom is solid for a hostel, shower warms up quickly however doesn’t get very cold if you’re wanting to cool down. Continental breakfast is solid, you can make toasties, they have little porridge cups, and a coffee machine amongst other bits and pieces. Bar downstairs is great, always lively. People that stay hear are lovely too, could defs solo travel here. Staff are fantastic and quickly resolved any issues, chatty as well when you check in which makes you feel welcome. Location is close to tower bridge so you’re on the east side, but two tube stops are 10 minute walks away and it takes about 10-15 more minutes on the tube to get to all the main sights and attractions in central London. However, the location is close to Shoreditch and Brick Lane vintage market, onky short walks away. Plenty of supermarkets nearby as well. 100% recommend staying here :)

Good Overall

I've stayed in Wombat's before, but another location. This one was not as good as the first one, but it was clean. They had karaoke night one evening, and the music was very loud in the bedroom. But gladly they didn't finish that late. I think my biggest issue was the temperature of the bedrooms. It was extremely hot and I couldn't sleep well, even with the individual fan on. Woke up every morning an all sweaty and sticky,even when the outside temperature was not that hot. The problem was inside the bedroom itself.

The hostel was amazing. Nice environment with everyone sharing common areas. Place is respectful with noice policies. The area is not very safe to walk around, but you're close to principal attractions so it compensates one with the other one.
