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 WomCAFÉ (exclusive Wombat's Roast included) and WomBAR. All rooms are equipped with en-suite bathroom and private lockers. Includes: - Bed linen. - WiFi. - WomCAFÉ - 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. Exploring Europe? Don't miss out on our Wombat's in Budapest, Leipzig, Munich and Vienna (Minimum age 18 years).

The room was better than I expected. Each person had their own locker, and the bathroom was very clean. The only downside was that my roommate didn't take a shower, and the smell of feet was quite unpleasant...... Also, someone was smoking ********* outside the window during midnight.

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...

The accommodation is charming and immaculately maintained, boasting a welcoming atmosphere thanks to its friendly staff. It's conveniently located near Tower Bridge, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. This spot offers an excellent mix of comfort and accessibility for a delightful stay.

I’d say this is the best hostel in London tower bridge area. Great facilities and location is just perfect. U can also book breakfast to save on money. They have a bunch of activities but unfortunately I didn’t join in. Had a busy schedule. Reception was very nice and friendly and I wanna appreciate the recommendations made by Reece for places to visit and transportation to take to airport. U could also take a shower if u r just passing by to airport or had some time to kill. But I didn’t know that in advance and had to book a room for another night which I just wasted. It’d have been great if they had option for hours booking room in case someone was just wanna make a pitstop before heading to airport or somewhere else
