Good Overall
I've stayed in Wombat's before, but another location. This one was not as good as the first one, but it was clean. They had karaoke night one evening, and the music was very loud in the bedroom. But gladly they didn't finish that late. I think my biggest issue was the temperature of the bedrooms. It was extremely hot and I couldn't sleep well, even with the individual fan on. Woke up every morning an all sweaty and sticky,even when the outside temperature was not that hot. The problem was inside the bedroom itself.

The price was great. It was very convenient for our event at the Tower of London. The breakfast was very good value for money. All round an excellent overnight stay.

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!
