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.

Includes:
- Bed linen.
- WiFi.
- Our own Wombat's city maps.
- Wombat's Café.
- 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.

For a solo female traveller spending the weekend in London, this was great! The card access made me feel very secure, the staff was great, and the rooms were clean and cozy. I stayed in the 6 bed female dorm. Beds were a little uncomfortable but nothing horrible. The shower was the nicest hostel shower I've ever seen! Location was a little out of the way for my plans but that's to nobody's fault but my own. Proximity to a Tube station made up for that. Staff were great and I have no real complaints! De fini

Great property and lovely staff, rooms were very clean and cleaned frequently. Lots of events and activities! Location is not the most central but not an issue - plenty within walking distance and stations are close by.
