Property Description
A safe haven in the middle of the metropolis: We took a traditional brick building with roots dating back to the 1800s and set a new standard for hostel life in the UK. What was once sailors' accommodation is now a hostel that caters for all the needs of the modern traveller. With great attention to detail, we have created a hostel in London that celebrates the heritage of our historic building. The old oak that once formed part of sturdy ships and churches is now immortalised in our furnishings throughout the house. The beers you drink here will be served on a bar made from 500 year old wood! Our Wombat's City Hostel is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, right next to the famous Tower Bridge and Tower of London, charming markets, authentic pubs and many other places of historical interest. A short walk will take you to trendy Shoreditch with its vibrant street art, the lively nightlife of Hoxton Square and Old Street and finally Brick Lane, which has become one of the most popular spots. All other London attractions are easily accessible by public transport: Aldgate East and Tower Bridge underground and DLR stations are just a stone's throw away. After a long and exciting day in London, our hostel awaits you with a cosy courtyard, a spacious lobby with our own WomCAFÉ (exclusive Wombat's Roast included) and WomBAR. All rooms are equipped with en-suite bathroom and private lockers. Includes: - Bed linen. - WiFi. - WomCAFÉ - The WomBAR for endless parties. - A guest kitchen open to all who want to satisfy their own culinary needs. - 24/7 reception. - Secure luggage storage. - Rental items (umbrellas, hairdryers, adaptors: everything a traveller could need). - Coin-operated laundry facilities (washing and drying), so you can revitalise your clothes! Our famous Tasty Brekkie buffet guarantees you enough energy for your exciting day in London. You can buy breakfast for an economical price at reception. Exploring Europe? Don't miss out on our Wombat's in Budapest, Leipzig, Munich and Vienna (Minimum age 18 years).

The room was better than I expected. Each person had their own locker, and the bathroom was very clean. The only downside was that my roommate didn't take a shower, and the smell of feet was quite unpleasant...... Also, someone was smoking ********* outside the window during midnight.

The shared accommodation is well priced when you consider the bar downstairs in the vaults is absolutely banging. I had a socket to charge my phone. Only downside was top bunk so ladder was extremely difficult to use safely. The ladder was bare metal and right in the far corner of the the bunk structure. Be careful if you aren’t that dexterous.

Great service and friendly staff were always available.
Breakfast was great for what you paid, and it was all you can eat. Toast, ham, cheese, fruit, yoghurt, coffee, not a full English breakfast but very affordable.
Things like amenities such as washing and towels were available, but had to pay a small price extra for.
The facilities were good and there was a bar/hang out area which was open each night and made it very easy to.mingle with fellow travellers.
Very central to the city and most landmarks were walking distance about an hour or so which is good when visiting a new city. Of course the London tube is available.
Would highly recommend anyone travelling to London solo for a nice experience to meet fellow travellers without breaking the bank.
