I've stayed here a few times and always have a decent time, nice bar. But each time the staff surprises me with how rude and unhelpful they can be. Everything seems to be an inconvenience! The bar staff is better, but the front desk could learn to be friendlier!

Great location. Very big for lone travelers as it is hard to mingle with people as the place is so big!

Wombats Berlin has a very good location, a very nice and helpful staff and a very cool skybar to go to. I definitely recommend the hostel!

Nice, quiet, warm (very important with -16º outside) rooms with excellent security. The location was great, next to the metro. The kitchen was a bit small and dirty (this was the users' fault), but with the cold it was impossible to use the outside tables. Super helpful staff!

Great place to stay, Wombar on the 7th floor is magic, I must go in the summer when I can sit on roof.

good price for a very clean and secure place. felt a bit like staying in a hotel though and no one really mingled. everyone just kind of sat in the free wifi area on their ipohones the hole time. apart from that though its a good location kitchen and other facilities are really good and the beds are soooo comfy.

Very very good hostel. Only downside is that there are very little seatingplaces in the kitchen. Sometimes we had to eat while standing but everything else was amazing! Staff and location are thr best here.

Fantastic hostel! Super clean, great place to meet travellers and great location! I would, however, avoid the breakfast. It's expensive at 3.70 Euros considering the poor selection and quality of the food. Save your cash and go down the street to much better eateries. Otherwise, the hostel provides awesome tours and a really cool bar at the top floor. Would highly recommend this place! Note: Free WIFI is in lobby only and not available in the rooms.
