inside Wombat’s
We work hard to ensure that all of you are having a great time. Many of our guests have made new, lifelong friends under our roofs, and some of our fellow backpackers have found their partners, even getting married and starting families. That makes us extremely happy, proud, and motivated to keep following this path and our mission – bringing people together. Here, we would like to share Wombat’s identity, values, and ethos with you.
facilities
Clean, safe, inviting, and inspiring: Wombat’s has been awarded many times and has all the facilities to ensure a carefree stay.

working at Wombat's
We are always looking for talented and ambitious people to fill our hostel with life, friendliness, professionalism, and energy, and to make our guests feel welcome and at home.
over the years we’ve created more…
…than just a hostel chain. What we’ve built is an opportunity for friendly gatherings in an affordable accommodation, a travel community that comes together to share stories of exploration and not just share a living space for a few nights.
More than 300.000 travellers pass through our Wombat’s City Hostels in Budapest, London, Munich and Vienna every year.
Every one of our hostels sits in the heart of the city so that travellers are right in the thick of things. They are conveniently located with easy access to major transport hubs so that travellers don’t spend too much time looking for the right way. After all, we wouldn’t want them to miss Happy Hour at the famous WomBars.
Gone are the days of simplistic, dirty buildings and cramped 10-bed dorm rooms with squeaky bunk beds. Style is at the fore of Wombat’s, with the unique design of each hostel reflective of its cultural surroundings. And you’ll find no more than eight beds in a dorm.
The spacious dorms and private rooms are decked out with modern interiors and en suite facilities. So no need to wander endless corridors. Locker space and key-card only access ensure extra security, and we are more than happy to boast about our award-winning cleanliness rating.
That’s on top of winning six Hostelworld HOSCAR awards for ‘Best Hostel Chain’. Just saying.
We don’t impose curfews (that would be boring) but instead our receptions are staffed 24/7 and only by travel-loving locals and experienced backpackers. In order to entice you out of your room, our bars remain open until very late at night. Here you can socialize, become a pool champion, play bar games or gather a group to go out and paint the town.
Want to post that selfie of you and your new friends? There’s decent Wi-Fi throughout the entire building, of course. Run out of clean pants? There’s a self-service laundry. Starving or want to impress your roommates? Cook up a storm in the guest kitchen (we even throw in some free pasta). Hungover or needing fuel for a city expedition? There’s our tasty brekkie to fill yourself up.
Wombat’s has all the facilities needed for a carefree and inspiring stay.
We’ll lift that travelling stress off your shoulders, so you can concentrate on the fun stuff. So drop off your backpack, find your kindred spirits and start your adventure with us.
Hope to see you soon!
what is a wombat
Wombats are short-legged, muscular quadrupedal marsupials, native to Australia. They have small, stubby tails, dig holes to live in and eat roots. Wombats typically live up to 15 years in the wild. The oldest known wombat died at the age of 34 in captivity. Wombats are famous mainly for two fun facts: They have a backward pouch. The backward-facing pouch has the advantage that when digging, the wombat does not throw soil over its young. The second fun fact is the shape of their feces, it’s cubic.
