If you’ve ever stayed at Wombat’s, then you know our signature interior design. With keen attention to detail and a carefully balanced mix of eclectic styles, we create relaxing, homely surroundings. If you want to chill with us, there’s plenty of opportunity to do so — exploring new cities is exhausting enough… ;-)

Our City Hostel Budapest is currently being revamped. The new, welcoming lobby is spacious with beautiful lighting and plentiful greenery. We are very proud of it and we’re just getting started: next, we’re renovating our bar. Yet again, Budapest raises the standard for design.

In Munich, May will see the Lange Nacht der Musik (Long Night of Music) take place, with gigs, performances and parties all over the city. Through our music initiative womBEATS, we are partnering with the mega-event for the first time and you’re invited to the singer-songwriter festival at the City Hostel Munich Werksviertel. On May 6th from 20:00, an international line-up of live music will take place at the womBAR. Acts include Alex Cumfe (Her Tree), Shane Ó Fearghail, Rebecca McRedmond, Marcus Bruns, Nana Forest and Chris Pookah.

There’s also exciting news from Vienna — the venerable TIME Magazine has included this city among the “World’s Greatest Places”, their list of the 50 most attractive travel destinations in the world. In the jury’s decision to include Vienna, the city’s sustainable living was strongly emphasised (TIME does not mention whether Wombat’s City Hostel Vienna contributed to this through its cooperation with local suppliers and numerous sustainable practices ;-) ).

Just another reason to visit Vienna! Especially now that the grey weather is finally saying goodbye.

Lastly, we have London. Our cultural export from Vienna, Wombat’s Café, has been open for a month in our City Hostel London. We are delighted with the great reception that we’ve been getting from guests and locals. Thank you all!

On that note, grab yourself a cup of coffee (our very own Wombat’s roast!) and enjoy the unique atmosphere at our City Hostel!

… London                           

If you’re into kitsch (who isn’t at Christmas time?), then London is the place for you. The Christmas by the River market offers punch, culinary delights, cute wooden huts and handcrafted gifts set against the spectacular backdrop of Tower Bridge. Once again, you’ll find it less than a mile from Wombat’s City Hostel London. You can walk directly over Tower Bridge and take in some sights along the way.

More Christmas markets see here.

… Vienna

These days, you need to be particularly lucky to experience a white Christmas in Vienna. However, with plenty of festive decorations hanging across the city, you’ll hardly notice the lack of snow.

A stroll through the city will most likely see you pass a punch stand or two and it will almost certainly lead you to at least one of the enchanting Christmas Markets that pop-up in every public square.

Some of the most famous markets include those at Schönbrunn Palace, City Hall and on Karlsplatz-which happens to be a very short walk away from Wombat’s City Hostel Vienna!

… Munich

Directly on the doorstep of Wombat’s City Hostel Werksviertel you will find the WinterWunderWerk. Step out our front door and walk directly into a world of festive cheer, complete with curling and ice-skating.

See: Munich Tip: WinterWunderWerk

If you’re looking for something traditional, you can visit the different markets at Sendlinger Tor, where, it is said, markets have been taking place as early as 1886. For our dear guests in the City Hostel Hauptbahnhof, this journey back in time is less than 15 minutes’ walk away.

For those who would like to discover more Christmas markets in Munich – here is an overview.

… Budapest

This is where things get really cosy. The most famous Christmas markets – Vörösmarty Square, Fashion Street, Erszébet Square, City Hall Park and St. Stephen’s Basilica are all less than 10 minutes’ walk from the City Hostel Budapest. Nothing can stand in the way of your own mulled wine tour!

Speaking of tours!

We’ve got a special discount for Wombat’s customers and those merry travellers who want to visit multiple cities and markets this Christmas.

When you stay in one hostel, you can get 10% off your next stay in any other Wombat’s city. Simply book your stay through our website and you’ll receive your promo code to use for your next Wombat’s visit!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Wombat’s first Grand Jam Tour hits the road this month. Get ready for some outstanding performers:

We’ll have singer-songwriter Ray Heffernan, the guy who wrote the original version of the Robbie Williams classic “Angels”. We kid you not! A forthcoming docuseries about Robbie will cover this episode from Ray’s life! As well as that, Ray also has songwriting credits for Eros Ramazzotti and Helene Fischer!

We’re gonna have a party!

After Columbian funk and poetic songs comes..? You guess it – “the no-hit wonder from the Bavarian Forest”? Karin Rabhansl, the notorious powerhouse of cabaret-meets-Bavarian-non-traditional-songwriting will perform at our City Hostel Vienna. Experience what bird-wild Rabhansl does with a room and with the audience, only using her voice, her guitar and a loop station: You can see Karin Rabhansl on 6 September 2022, like always: free entry!

A night to remember. Singer-songwriter Agnès Milewski enchanted our guests at Wombat’s City Hostel Vienna yesterday with an outstanding performance. Her crystal-clear voice and extraordinary piano arrangements filled the room with a magical vibe that attracted a very attentive crowd.

The June instalment of our music initiative womBEATS also brought some unexpected guests on stage: hostel guest Christie from Pennsylvania spontaneously contributed two songs and surprised the audience with a rock-solid performance and some itchy lyrics!

And Agnès as well as womBEATS host Shane Ó Fearghail were joined on stage by “Stoney” with some impromptu accompaniment on his violin.
