The Wombat’s Story

…when we went to “Connor’s Irish Pub” in Melbourne. Because we had run out of money, we decided to spend most of the night there drinking a few beers, playing pool and waiting for the first bus to Alice Springs. After the first beer on the way to the pool table a huge guy interfered..

Over the years we’ve created more…

… than a hostel chain, it’s a friendly gathering in an affordable accommodation. A travel community that comes together to share stories of exploration and do more than just share a living space.

More than 300.000 travellers pass through our Wombat’s City Hostels in Budapest, London, Munich, Venice and Vienna every year.

All our hostels sit in the heart of the city so that travellers are right in the middle of the action. They are conveniently placed with easy access to major transport hubs so that travellers don’t spend too much time getting lost. 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 dorms rooms with squeaky bunk beds. Style is at the fore of Wombat’s, with the unique design of each hostel reflective of its cultural location. 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 ensuite facilities. It saves wandering the corridors. Locker space and key-card only access ensure extra security, and we happily 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 have a 24/7 reception staffed only by travel-loving locals and experienced backpackers. The late night opening hours of our bars are to entice you out of your room. 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? There’s decent Wi-Fi throughout the entire building. 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 for self-made feasts (we even throw in some free pasta). Hungover or need fuel for a city expedition? There’s an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet to fill yourself up.

Wombat’s has all the facilities needed to make a carefree home away from home. We’ll take away the stresses of travelling, 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.
