Wombat's City Hostel London

Nice service and living environment. I like the design of the room that includes individual toilet and bath room, only share to the roommates. Also, there are curtains for each bed, this is a really nice design! The lockers inside the room are just suitable for 20 inch gip and small backpacks. Some large luggage needs to be put somewhere in the room. The price is affordable. Overall is good.

Do not be fooled by the high 4.4-star rating—this hostel doesn’t deserve any stars. I stayed here for two nights and felt uncomfortable and unsafe throughout my stay. The hostel is a 10-minute walk from Aldgate East station, but the area doesn’t feel safe at all. From the start, my impression was poor. Two security guards were present—one outside and one inside. The guard outside, a man on his phone, was extremely rude, which didn’t help with the sense of security. The lift was broken and unstable, and to make matters worse, the staff assigned me a room on the 8th floor, despite the elevator only going up to the 6th floor. I had to climb stairs to reach my floor. Once in the room, I found weak, shaky lockers that didn’t feel secure at all. If you’re looking for peace of mind and basic comfort, stay elsewhere. There are much nicer hostels available at the same price.

What a great place, clean, kind, great location, beautiful young people. Being the oldest by far I never once felt out of place. Young people are awesome, friendly and kind. Nothing like my generation X. I'm a widower nothing could be worse for me and I never felt alone or poorly treated. Great clean place, comedy show funny, breakfast was tremendous. Thank you, thank you.

The hotel was located 10min away from station by walk, it was very nice place to go to downtown. The hostel is very nice, but room was bit small.

This is a great hostel to stay in as a solo traveller, staff are friendly and the tube and supermarkets are close by. The rooms are clean and have fans which are great for the summer heat.

Good location near the city of London, very friendly, clean dorms, good facitlites and ensuite bathrooms. Great option when with friends, as you can have a private ensuite dorm.
