We're a couple in our mid 20's who like clean accommodation but with a bit of a relaxed / social vibe. This is exactly what we got at Wombats. We arrived early Friday 16th and were too early to check-in, so left our luggage at the storage and went walking. It rained heavily and we got soaked, so returned to the hostel earlier than check-in (check-in is at 2pm). A very understanding guy (with a beard) and Irish lady allowed us to check in early as the room was ready... we needed a shower badly!! So, first positive experience was the friendly attitude of the staff... always a nice thing. This was our only staff interaction as we were always out-and-about apart from check-in / check-out (check-out took less than a minute, no issues at all) The room (private, double) was clean... what more can I say? That's all we wanted and that's what we got. If I could say one thing, it is to purchase better quality pillows. Just note that as you can see from pics, the floor is Lino, not carpet. I actually prefer this as it's more hygienic, but it's just not all that luxurious on your feet, but remember this is a hostel! We will return to Budapest next year and we will stay at Wombats again. PS. The lift worked. The wi-fi worked fine. I cannot comment on the AC as we were using it to heat the room instead of cooling it down.

Happy with my stays ”

I was in the wombat's vienna before Budapest. As compared, Budapest receptionist did an excellent job as they are much more friendly, approachable and resourceful. One staff offered us the stamp card and we could redeem our breakfast when we had two stamps! The facilities are equipped with utensils but there is no cups for our coffee. Or else, you can pay 1000huf for their breakfast too! The cleanliness is good but the room has a weird smell. There is bar in the hostel and they are all very friendly too! In short, it is a good stay and definitely value for the money.

I got my stuffed wombat!”

I stayed at 3 Wombats during my trip and all were great experiences. I finally got my stuffed wombat at this location! All were clean, great atmospheres, friendly staff, and amazing breakfasts. Would absolutely recommend and would come back!

CHAIN HOSTEL IN BERLIN, LONDON, BUDAPEST AND VIENNA”

HIGHLIGHTS: 1. THEY PROVIDE EAT-IT-ALL FOR BREAKFAST FOR 1000 FORINT. 2. PLUS, A WELCOME BEER/WINE/DRINKS COUPON IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. 3. AN ORGANIZED ORIENTATION/FREE CITY TOUR IS HELD EACH MORNING. YOU WILL LIKE IT. PEOPLE WORKING AND LIVING THERE ARE FRIENDLY. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE CHAINS HOSTELS IN OTHER CITIES SOON. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A pleasure”

I will definitely visit all of the Wombat hostels. With a private room, I enjoyed it more than a hotel. Great spirit and staff.

Perfect place to stay :) ”

Great hostel located very centrally and easy to reach. Friendly staff, good facilities. Perfect for a short stay in the city

Great location and facilities with fair price”

The hostel is good in cleanliness, comfortable. Location is near to most attraction places.

Exceptional”

Very we’ll managed hostel and tops for location, location, location.

harsh clorox smell in private room”

Location was the big plus. Private parking structure is avilable, 5000 HUF / day. The smell of clorox in the private room was really harsh, kept the window open for 3 days. A lot of young and drunk guests who will keep you up at night especially since the courtyard of the hotel is the hangout zone.

Very good”

Convenient location and super helpful staff. However, my room was humid and had an awful smell of water damage. There was also mold on the ceiling.

oldies at wombats”

Good. Some people need to keep their voices down when returning late . No one begrudges them a good time. Towels need replacing.

Good location, spacious rooms”

The 8-bed is surprisingly spacious, what a treat (some other places would jam 10 more beds there). However, only 1 bathroom meant queuing at busy times (9-10 AM, 20-22h). It also gets rather filthy after one or two showers (but that's the problem with people, not staff). The music in the lobby unnecessarily loud (reverberated even). They snatch IDs as a deposit for the key card.. don't forget to fetch it when checking out.

Close to everything ”

Very clean , young people , friendly staff and helpful

Standard”

Standard hostel, everything was fine.

4 floor horrible smelling ”

4 floor room has horrible smell which my room is my rooms bed"s metres has blood I guess that it might be some one killed bed bug just I presume that bed was little bit dirty and pub is quite cheap but I recomand you pay correct coin or just small money I order 500ml beer it was 600 and I gave 2000 paper money just I can back 400 I told her don't do that I think that she use that some of foriginers need times to calculate or count coins even it is nothing's cuz just 4 $ but feeling is horrible and I back soon even if not I would drink 3 or 4 beer more reason of why I choose this hostel was I was recomanded here but I'm so disappointed here I strongly recomand that not come here use other hostel or go hotel it was my lucky just reservation a day. 제 윗 침대에 핏자국 있었어요 베드버그 죽인 자국이겠죠 .. 호스텔 펍에선 2000 포린트 지불했는데 400밖에 안주더군요 원래 600 포린트짜리 맥주 시켰는데 그래서 그거 먹고 떨어져라 하고 말았어요 4000원 밖에 안되니깐 사실 밖에 있는 펍에서 사기당할까봐 호스텔있는데로 왔는데 밖으로 나가세요 사람 별로 없는 이유 있어요. 4000원 밖에 안하는데 기분 존나 나빠요 방이 4층이었는데 천창이라 환기가 안되서 진짜 테러블 그 자체였어요... 아직 자지는 않았지만 베드버그 있을것 같아요. 당장 옮기고 싶지만 하루밖에 예약 안해서..다행이예요 움밧 좋다고 왔는데 진짜 테러블 그 자체예요 다른곳 강력히 추천합니다 여기서 자지 마세요

Good location and many facilities”

good location and many facilities, nice bed also

Excellent”

Location is strategic. Cleanliness maintained.

Cheap and good location”

Sound proof is bad. Can hear people shower and flush toilet on the next room.

Do not stay here if....”

If you want a good sleep at night, dont stay here, sound proofing is extermely bad even for Pricate Room. If you want to party all night long, its where you should come. We booked for 2nights stay and we checkedout after 1st night.

Poor equipment with poor managment”

This is a lousy hotel. There was no heating at all(10/1~10/4). We asked for extra blankets, but the staff said that they don't have any of them. Therefore, we had to wear jackets to go to bed. The noise was another big issue: it was like living in a college boys' domitory; the noise from next doors (talking, laughing, singing and loud music) made it impossible to sleep. Although we complained to the front desk, they just sent someone to warn our neighbers, and then let it go. Those young guys didn't care at all; they resumed their parties almost immediately after that man left. We tolerated the horrible situation for all 3 nights and swore to God that we will never come again!
