Wombat's City Hostel London

It was a clean and spacious room bunk beds were clean with new beddings the plus point was I wasvafraid it would be crowded and noisy but it was great no noise issue

The adage, " you get what ya pay for" sums this gem up. Awesome self catering kitchen, Comfy quiet rooms and beds, An on-site bar, Laundry, Excellent friendly staff, Vast chill out spaces, Just a pity about the hot water, maybe it was just the rooms I was in, or they pander to the cautious, not want to scold the weaker ones, but some of us like a hot shower, not a Luke warm, tepid one...

Clean and tidy, with friendly staff. You also get your own private space thanks to the curtain on the bed. It can be a bit noisy in the morning, though.

Liked it.

Very disappointed, I am writing to express my extreme disappointment as I requested a cancellation due to a change in my travel plans. I believe it is standard procedure to receive a refund under these circumstances, especially considering that I made the cancellation request within 30 minutes of booking. despite my request for a refund, I have not received any response from them as they have declined my request.

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.
