It was a pleasant stay in the hostel. All facilities are clean and well maintained. I stayed in a 4-bed dorm which was very quiet. The roommates are very respectful. The area is nice and very close to a nice walking trail along the river and quay. The bad side is the property is close to a railway which could be noisy before 12am.

Rooms are spacious and tidy however, they ask you to check out at 10am which is way too early compared to check-in time of 2pm. Also the luggage compartments are too narrow to put in a bag.

Had the BEST stay at wombats. The staff were friendly and helpful, even let me do laundry after my checkout time. Stayed in an 8 bed dorm and each bed comes with a fan and safe, which was a huge plus as it got quite muggy in the room. If there were wombats locations to where I'm travelling next, I'd be staying there for sure. The location is great with Tower Hill station a 5 min walk away and lots of local pubs in the area. Super accessible. Would happily return!

The vibe was great! Lots of people from all over the world, cool bar, many events. The place was super clean and modern. Rooms and amenities were comfortable and felt safe. Would totally recommend and go again on my next visit to London. It’s not so close from downtown but easy to get on public transport. Staff was very kind.

The room is not sound proof… They only give you bed sheets etc and you have to set up the bed by yourself, and you have to return those to reception. If someone arrive late or leave early, this can make a lot of noise, not to mention that the bunk bed is made of steel, which amplifies the noise. Besides, the bathroom is inside the room, you can hear it clearly when someone is using. Towel rent 2pounds, luggage storage 4pounds for 8h small locker, no shower gel or shampoo…
