Wombat’s City
Hostel London

Backpackers, flashpackers, day-trippers, and business travelers—you'll encounter a colorful crowd reflecting the vibrant metropolis. Wombat's City Hostel London is situated in Tower Hamlets, just minutes away from Tower Bridge and subway and DLR stations. With meticulous attention to detail, we've transformed the former hostel for sailors into an establishment that fulfills all the modern needs of travelers while honoring the building's history. Your welcome pint awaits you on a bar crafted from 500-year-old oak wood.

The building, the area, the vibe. Our City Hostel London has been repeatedly awarded 'Most Popular Hostel In London' for many good reasons.
