Hostelworld says

Wombat's City Hostel London, located close to Tower Bridge, seamlessly blends historical charm with modern comforts, ensuring an unforgettable experience at the heart of the vibrant metropolis! Wander the cobblestone streets of the nearby Tower of London, where centuries of royal intrigue and storied pasts await to be uncovered.

At this great hostel, you can enjoy amenities such as ensuite rooms, a delicious breakfast buffet, a lovely coffee at the WomCAFÉ as well as the lively WomBAR with endless parties.

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 Wombat's Cafe (exclusive Wombat's Roast included) and WomBAR. Here you can relax and enjoy our always unexpected offers.
All rooms are equipped with en-suite bathroom and private lockers.

Took the family (6) and we had our own room and private bathroom. It was perfect! 1/3 of a mile to Aldgate East station or 1/3 mile to Tower Hill station. Easy walk to Amazon Fresh or a convenience store. No problem getting an Uber to pick up or drop off. We had breakfast every day and it was definitely worth the money ($7.40 pounds). Everything was clean, and well maintained. Staff was great too!

Really great hostel, very secure, very clean. Unfortunately some of the staff had bad attitudes, felt like I was annoying them just by being there. Not all of them, but some, which let the score down a bit.
