The Spotlight on Wombat's City Hostel London

Your Launchpad for London’s Live Music Scene

Modern, social, and seriously convenient, Wombat's City Hostel London sits in the heart of East London, just a short walk from Tower Bridge and some of the city’s most iconic venues. With a lively backpacker vibe, cozy common areas, and both shared and private rooms, this hostel makes a great base for music-lovers on a budget.

You’ll find free WiFi throughout, a 24-hour front desk, and handy extras like vending machines and a buzzing on-site bar. Whether you're heading to a sold-out gig or just soaking up the London energy, Wombat’s is the kind of place where fellow fans become friends.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short walk from Aldgate East and Tower Hill stations, making late-night Tube rides after concerts a breeze. Many of London’s top music venues are just a few stops away, yet the hostel’s tucked-away Dock Street location keeps things relatively quiet when it’s time to crash. With 24-hour reception and flexible arrival times, you can check in late without stress — perfect if you're coming straight from a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a social, affordable stay
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples wanting a fun London weekend without the high hotel prices
  • Fans who want a chill, communal space to recover post-gig
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on tickets, not beds

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant, you’ve got vending machines for late-night snacks and loads of great food spots just steps away. The hostel’s bar serves drinks and light bites, and with supermarkets nearby, self-catering is easy. Breakfast is available on-site — ideal if you're recovering from a night out.

Nightlife Options

Wombat’s has its own bar with a social, hostel-style vibe — think craft beers, shared tables, and conversations that last all night. You’re also super close to Shoreditch and Brick Lane, two of London’s liveliest nightlife districts, packed with pubs, clubs, and after-hours hangouts.

What People Say

Travelers love the hostel’s clean facilities, friendly staff, and vibrant bar. Reviews often mention the unbeatable location for exploring London and the hostel’s fun, international atmosphere. Many guests say it’s one of the best-value stays for social travelers heading to gigs.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the 10:00am check-out time feels a bit early after a late night. Also, ongoing renovations (hello, new PunkBeds!) can mean occasional daytime noise — but staff are upfront and accommodating.

The Bottom Line

A fun, central, and affordable hub for concert-goers looking to dive into London’s music scene without blowing their budget.

One of my best hostel...

Liked: Perfect location. (If you have a program at Wembley, you can get there easily.) Clean, comfortable room and bed, my roommates were quiet and nice. Bathroom is excellent with very hot water. Locker enough big for my luggage. And I just loved the atmosphere and the coffe at the bar.

Comfortable and modern hostel in...

Liked: Good hostel with a good location, close to Tower Hill, the room was nice and clean and the bathroom and sink in the room also were nice. I especially liked the locker and fan in the bunk. Also the acces with the keycard for every floor felt really nice and safe and the security seemed pretty good!
Disliked: It’s quite close to a train track, so if you are a light sleeper that might not be great. The matrasses also were a bit thin, but I still thought they were comfortable.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Toilet, shower room, wifi, hygiene...

Liked: Location and general vibe.
Disliked: I stayed at Wombat’s multiple times and a patron customer. I had great experience from my previous stays but not this one. Firstly, the wash sink is in the same room with the shower and the toilet is in another one. That means when I used the toilet and someone in the shower, I will not be able to wash my hands, which was exactly what happened. Secondly, the toilet had a constantly disgusting urine smell as if it was not cleaned properly or not cleaned at all. And the flush was behind the stool cover and that means every time I flush the toilet, I have to touch that cover which is full of gems! Who designed all that??? Also the wifi signal in that room was just not working well and so I had to use my data the entire stay. I cannot imagine if I stay longer in that room. And if you go back to that room, you will find that there is no hand wash, which was not the case previously when I stayed. This room did it worth the price I paid and I would like to have 50% refund back! There needs no photo as all I mentioned are part of the room and you can go and have a look there!

Superb

Liked: Great hostel and made many new friends here! The rooms are very small but the bathrooms are huge and really nice. You also get a lot of privacy in your bunk and a little fan which was nice
Disliked: Can’t think of anything I didn’t like
