Solo Travel. I’d recommend

No issues with the place it self. Even though I was in a dorm of 4 the person above me woke me up in the middle of the night due to noise. I had to be up really early which was frustrating. I didn’t get much sleep. But the place is okay. Good for the price. One thing I found good is the lockers are free inside the rooms and quite big. I felt that my luggage and belongings were safe.

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!

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…

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.
