Looking for a safe, convenient hostel in Munich? I definitely always recommend staying at a Wombats if you can find one. Not only are the rooms safe and spacious but they have all the amenities you need and no age restrictions. They have a happy hour for their bar, breakfast, lockers, easy location from train stations, and spacious hostel rooms. I really liked this hostel in Munich so I stayed here twice when coming to Germany and leaving back to home to California. Definitely a must stay!! read more

The hostel was okay. The pictures definitely made it seem nicer than what it is. Upon arriving, I noticed they were out of toothpaste when a guest asked if they had any available or for purchase. I had to run out and do a tour, but when I came back I wanted to take a shower. I asked if I could get a towel and how much it would cost. The front desk lobby mentioned that they do provide them free-of-cost, but that they were out. This was rather striking considering they offer lodging and washing rooms. I also had to wait until 2pm for check-in, but when going to my shared room, I had to put on the bed sheet and pillow case. I've only stayed at one other hostel, but the experience was more pleasant elsewhere. read more

I LOVED this hostel! Wombats always provides a great experience, but the vibe here was extra fun. The bar is downstairs, making the upper dorm floors insulated from the noise. The kitchen is a full, professional grade kitchen with almost everything you could ever need- including utensils and pasta! There's a nice balcony/patio area with a decent view of part of the container park on the street and a climbing wall. Let's talk about the beds though- they're like little sleep caves. I slept so well with my little curtains and a built in fan! Best hostel sleep I've ever had. My roommates were awesome and we had a great time chatting! Loved this place so much. read more

If you're coming to Munich solo, this is a GREAT place to meet people! I was traveling with three friends when I stayed here; however, even then - we met some of the most fun people you'll probably ever meet while traveling here. Great common areas, which, you'd be surprised, a lot of hostels lack. This place is fairly centrally located, so it's easy to pop in and out if you need to. Pretty clean and tidy, which is a plus. :) Definitely a good time to be had here! read more

This hostel is amazing! So close to the central train station. The front desk staff are friendly (albeit some of the girls were a little dense). The beds are comfy, everything is clean. The facilities are secure! There is a bar which is AMAZING. The common area is awesome. The wifi works pretty well. My only complaint would be their inability or unwillingness to help with booking issues, etc. Me and others staying had issues booking through hostel world and as opposed to fixing them in a convenient manner we were stuck from 10 am to 2 pm waiting for our next room. Kind of a pain in the ass. Other than that, this hostel is great. read more

Overall, Wombats city hostel had everything I could ask for out of a hostel! Clean rooms, hot showers, friendly staff, a nice lounge area, and it's extremely close to the train station. A few extra specifics: - There's one bathroom with a toilet and shower per room (6 beds). In addition, there's also one bathroom with no shower in the hallway. - The large lockers are locked using your room keycard (so no need to bring a separate lock) - Towels are provided for free - Like all the hostels I visited in Germany, you're required to make your bed at first, and take down your sheets at checkout - Breakfast for 5.30 Euro - At check in, you're proactively given a ticket for a free drink, and a map of the city with highlights on it. In addition, when I asked, the employee I talked to was happy to recommend me a place to eat in addition to those shown on the map. - Common area looked quite nice, but was under construction while I was there read more

5 star fantastic! Easily one of the best hostels you will EVER stay in!! It's seriously top draw and for the price you pay, it's a steal! I opted to stay in a dormitory and go old school. I was a bit apprehensive, I'm not gonna lie, as I've only done this once before, but I shouldn't have worried. I shared a room with 5 other lovely girls and the room was spacious, so you didn't feel cramped at all. I was lucky to have the top bunk and it had a little tiny table on the side of the bed to charge your phone and put any jewellery you had. A total win for me, as I'm forever in need of a plug and a phone charge. Storage wise, you had a locker each, which was locked with a key card, you received when you checked in! The locker was big enough to fit a small suitcase, shoes and a hand bag. A decent size if you're travelling! I like the key idea, as it made me feel like my things were totally secure! The room had one bathroom which came with he necessities, and the shower was super powerful, with the water always hot! A total winner! Downstairs was fantastic, there was a spacious bar, so you could get to know lots of other travellers and the drinks were a very reasonable price, with beer coming in at 2€-3€. Bargain! They even have two happy hours on per night, so you get an even better deal! Plus you also get a free welcome drink on your first night to help you settle in! My favourite area of the hostel was the seating area, which had a clear roof, so felt like you were outside, as it was so brightly lit, but you were still in the warm. The seats were uber comfortable and wifi was great, as was the case with the whole of the building! I loved to sit here to read my book or catch up on emails. All in all, one of the best staying experience I've had while travelling worldwide and I wouldn't think to stay anywhere else next time I come to Munich! read more

Wombat's - Welcome drink.. Mini size beer - Hostels Near Me - Munich, BY

See all

While Wombat's great location by the main station allows easy exploration, arrival, and departure from Munich, the hostel left a lot to be desired. Every guest is expected to make his own bed upon arrival, which is not exactly a fun thing to do when you arrive late at night and have a top bunk bed. Additionally both times I stayed there, the bedside light and the lockers were broken. I do appreciate the friendly staff, the free towel rental, and the social atmosphere thanks to the free welcome drink, but I wouldn't stay here for longer than a night or two. read more

Pub crawl was extremely disappointing. We made it to one bar and then back to the hostel. The head of the trip seemed to be on his own schedule and wasn't trying to bring the whole group along. Room were solid. Met some pretty cool people. Great first hostel experience overall but wouldn't recommend the pub crawl. read more

The Wombat hostel can easily be crowned the King of hostels! I had an amazing experience here.. I lost my hostel virginity (meaning I had never previously stayed at a hostel), and what an Amazing first time. Far from the preconceived notion of hostels being dirty, unsafe and slutty, the Wombat in Munich was the opposite, well maybe a bit promiscuous but not overtly. The hostel is easy walking distance from the train station. The main lobby is very welcoming and resourceful. Myself and my 2 travelistas stayed in a larger room (6-8) and spent practically nothing ($12 per night?). Our stranger roommates were all very polite and respectful. One of our roommates bought us Belgium chocolates as a parting gift. Our room had lockers in it, so during the day we locked up our valuables and left our suitcases with clothes under the bunks. We did not have any problems with theft. The bathroom in our room was clean and had hot water. There was also an additional mirror to get ready in front of out in the other part of our room, so if the bathroom was occupied we could still get ready for the day. We took the advice of the staff and took a tour which started from the Wombat lobby, to Dachau. The tour guide was really good, full of facts, and kept it serious but not overly depressing for such a tour. He was quite knowledgeable. Be sure not too miss the breakfast buffet. It was less than $5 and had all the essentials - yogurt, fruit, bread, juice, coffee, nutella, granola, hard boiled eggs. We took full advantage and packed snacks for later, how could we resist handfuls of baby nutellas :) At night, the hostel bar is fun and quite lively. A great place to meet fellow travelers from across the world. We spent St. Patrick's Day here and met a few Irish fellas who purchased large amounts of green beer and sang Irish carols. Truly a wonderful experience and on a budget. read more

This place is utterly fantastic & much preferred over the Euro Youth two doors down. Got a private double here, it was on the top floor and each came with their private bathroom and Rockstar personal roof deck --- get it Wombats. Solid bar, good people staying there - the bollards table & hammocks put it over the top. read more

First hostel experience ever. ARRIVAL Got there after a long redeye flight and was greeted by a friendly receptionist who spoke English. Was told check in is latest at 2pm. They let me keep my stuff in the luggage room. The place itself seemed trendy and had computers, communal lounge areas and WiFi. I left and came back around 3pm. ROOM Took the elevator up to floor 3. I was in a dorm with 7 other beds. Mostly girls. Room was clean and sans-AC but had 2 oscillating fans. Applied my fresh sheets (Hostel provided) to the bed and took a nap. A little stuffy but nothing unbearable, especially with the fan going. Room was spacious and had free lockers (quite large, maybe 1.5 ft width, 2.5 ft height, 1.5 ft depth?) -- enough to stowe all my valuables without issue. There was a table with 2 benches in the middle of the room. Free WiFi (must get password from receipt) worked quite well in the room and in hostel building. BATHROOMS There's a communal floor bathroom one for men one for women. The room had its own bathroom which included a sink, toilet, and shower. It was clean. My only issue was that my washcloth kept getting moved around and I found it on the floor one day. Water was hot and good. SLEEPYTIME I was usually the one getting in late and waking up late. Everyone was asleep in my room by like 1am and it was quiet and dark. Aside from my own personal sleeping issues, I think the conditions for sleep here are sufficient. LUGGAGE ROOM This is the main reason for dropping a star. The luggage room became so packed with luggage that you could barely open the door. When it came time to check out, I stored my luggage at about 10am. When I came back at 2:30, I almost missed my train because I didn't realize how stuffed it would get and I had to dig my bag out of a hundred other heavy bags. Plus both pieces were moved from the location I put them. That's the main issue I had with this place. Though its nice they let you store your stuff before check in and after check out. OTHER AMENITIES I didn't use the bar but they give you a free drink voucher at check in. The bar looked fun and people were freely socializing. There was breakfast buffet for 3.90€ which I also didn't use unfortunately. LOCATION Its literally across the street from München Hauptbahnhof. So you're able to get anywhere. The area itself is kind of crappy but so are most grand central stations. There's a huge biergarten within walking distance and every shop you could need right near you. But I entreat you to get out from there ;) OVERALL Was pretty good for a first hostel experience and it exceeded my expectations. Price was about $65 for two nights. Was not noisy and was fairly clean. Staff friendly and helpful and great location. I'd use them again. read more

This hostel is outta control. In a good, controlled way. Too many perks. Price: Reasonable. Book in advance to get a private room, and possibly ask to be away from the main street if in a dorm or otherwise. Location: Prime! Walking distance to everything you would want to see or do, including nightlife. Wifi: Yes, and a nice loungy area to chill, complete with hammocks Bar: Full Bar!! with plenty of seating room, daily specials, and themed nights. Stay away on Karaoke night... trust. Age + Diversity: For sure! I was the only Mexican there. But other than that pretty diverse in age and ethnicity. Though clearly, this is where the young 20-somethings form groups and do things. My friend and I felt weird in the bar at night... Room size and amenities: The dorm room was the biggest room I've ever stayed in. Large table in the middle. Plenty of places to hang things and store items. There are storage lockers to place valuables at no extra fee. They have their own locks. Our roommates bought these jelly locks (they look like bike locks) and secured their luggage to the bunk-bed ladders. I thought it was a good idea. Towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, and pillow cases are provided free of charge. Cons: The touristy area nearby is under major construction, not Wombats fault. Bathroom did not have a window and Korean room mates put soiled toilet paper in the trash can. You can only imagine... I would definitely return or stay in another one of their hostels! Great experience. read more

BEST HOSTEL EVER!!! I backed packed to 13 different countries in 2006. The Wombat Hostel was one of the many I stayed in--- 7 years later I still talk about this hostel and my wonderful experience. I remember the staff being Awesome! I still have one of the dollars for the bar downstairs :0) They also told us everything we needed to know- and the places to go!!!! I give this hostel an 11 on a scale from 1-10. When I go back- this is my place to stay.... Even if it's with the family!! :0) read more

Hearing stories from friends who've stayed at hostels in the past, I really did not know what to expect before we arrived at this place. When we did... I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean and the staff was super friendly. We stayed here two days and two nights and both days were a good experience. The breakfast was all you can eat... Yessss!!! Always good to get a good meal before you start your day. The prices were very reasonable as well. I will most likely stay here, again, in my future visit to Munich. read more

Awesome hostel! I've stayed at 2 Wombats hostels and while both were great, this one is my favorite. I booked a 8-bed dorm and the size of the room was huge! Super spacious with lots of natural light. Definitely didn't feel like I was staying with 7 other people. Each bed had a side table bolted to the wall with a light and wall socket (having your own personal wall socket is the GREATEST thing in the world). There were also 8 lockers that opened with your room keycard - very high tech and much appreciated. AYCE breakfast buffet was awesome and a steal at €3.50 (don't quote me on that). You get a good selection with bread/rolls, nutella (cute single serving packages), yogurt, fruit, granola, eggs, ham, salami, juice, coffee, tea, etc. I actually looked forward to it every day! No wifi in the rooms but there is a "WiFi garden" that is pretty cool. Basically an enclosed courtyard with sofas, chairs, benches. It does get crowded at night after everyone comes back from sightseeing and the WiFi gets so. damn. slow. but no worries, it makes it super easy to meet people. Then it's time to head to the Wombar to get your free 1st drink (a tiny beer or some watered-down wine but hey, it's free)! The Wombar is pretty chill, there's a pool table if you're into that. Location wise, it's right across the street from the hauptbahnhof and only 2 U-bahn stops from Marienplatz so super convenient. It's on hostel row next to Jaeger's and Euro Youth so lots of fellow travelers to meet and Euro Youth's bar is open later. ;) Other: Staff is friendly/helpful. There's laundry for €5.00 per load on the 2nd floor. Computers in the lobby (I believe its 50 cents for 30 minutes). Really an great hostel, I had an awesome experience. Munchen, ich vermisse dich! read more

Wombats was a fun hostel, especially if you're looking to party your entire stay in Munich. Awesome happy hour and the bar downstairs is always hopping. Great location, 3 minute walk from the train station. We did the free city walking tour through the hostel as well as the tour through the concentration camp. You're also in walking distance from central square and a handful of Bier Gardens! Good to know before going to Europe that if you're staying in Hostels, you may run into bed bugs. People backpack and sleep in their sleeping bags on the beds, it's typically hard for hostels to control, just be aware and keep your luggage off your bed! We had a minor issue but the hostel took it seriously and switched our rooms! read more

This is the first hostel I have ever stayed in, and because of Wombats, I now have very high expectations for hostels. I loved everything about it! It's location in the city was great. The happy hour was AMAZING! And it was just full of cool and friendly people. Plus, their wifi was bomb! I really look forward to staying here again, either in Munich or in one of their other locations. read more

Wombat's - Hostels Near Me - Munich, BY

This place is fantastic! So clean, gorgeous, and roomy. Check in is at 2 pm, they won't let you check in any sooner. It wasn't an issue for me, though, but just to let you know. The process is pretty smooth and the staff all appear to be bilingual, speaking at least both German and English. The room itself was huge. Far bigger than any other hostel I've stayed in. I was in a six-bed female room, and there was a huge seating area (a picnic bench) and...a fan! What a nice surprise. There were individual lockers for you to store your stuff, but there's also so much floor space, you can keep your stuff on the floor by your bed or even under your bed. There are elevators, so thankfully there's no lugging your heavy suitcase up maybe four flights of stairs. There is laundry (albeit very expensive, I think it's €2,50 for the washer and €3,50 for the dryer, though detergent is free) on the second floor. Furthermore, a little tidbit if you share your room with a bathroom hog: there are also communal bathrooms (toilet, shower, everything) on each floor. They are clearly marked with a sign, so if you really have to use the bathroom but you can't use the one in your room, you're in luck. I didn't eat breakfast, but it was only €4 and is pretty well-stocked. There are also fresh sheets (they are bagged and everything, I happened to see the company making a delivery of a bunch one day so they're definitely not just re-wrapping dirty sheets or anything). The WiFi is free and is now throughout the entire building! Previously it was only on the ground floor. It works okay, it gets sluggish during peak hours but given that I'd been in Europe for over a month at this point, I knew to expect it. It's password-protected, but you are given logon information upon arrival. Furthermore, if you don't have a computer, there are two to use for pay (coin operated). There's also a huge common area on the ground floor that's absolutely gorgeous. It's not a tiny table, but a huge room like one would see in a hotel. Plenty of places to sit, such as hammocks and chairs. There's trees in there too, it's a lovely atmosphere. Guests are encouraged to go down there at night, making the hallways and rooms really quiet at night. You also get a free drink ticket upon check in, in case you want to partake. The location is perfect. It's just across the street from the Hauptbahnhof (the south side, to be specific - there are multiple entrances/exits for the Hbf). One block away is a grocery store, Lidl, though take note there are no fridges or ovens at the hostel. But if you want to buy water bottles or any shelf-stable food, it's so convenient. Given its proximity to the Hbf too there are so many food options right by the hostel. There's a pizza place, of course döners, even a currywurst Imbiss stand in front of the Hbf. And the Hbf has loads of food options, too. Plus given its proximity to the Hbf, it's insanely easy and convenient to get to anywhere in the city. The place is really huge though, so make sure you take note of which bus or line you need before getting there. Long-distance trains are on the ground level (all U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines are on lower floors), so if you want to explore somewhere else or are coming in/out of another city by train, it's really convenient. The beds are also pretty comfy, probably the most comfortable bed I slept in while in Europe. All in all, this place is definitely worth the money (and it's not even expensive, at that) and then some. If you're staying in Munich and want to save cash by staying in a hostel, this is your place. read more

An easy find from the train station, and close enough to the city's attractions to be convenient. The staff is very friendly, the bar is top notch, and you'd be hard-pressed to stay a day without making some friends. If you are noise sensitive, make sure you bring some ear plugs. The room I stayed in was directly above the street, which is crowded and largely populated by the drunk and rowdy. read more

Easily the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Extremely clean. Everything is brand new and smells that way. Atmosphere is great especially in the bar area which has cheap drinks but provides the opportunity to meet people to go out and do things with. Good location across street from Hauptbahnhof and right next to other hostels. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. read more

This is THE BEST hostel in Munich! It's my favorite hostel I've been to since I've been backpacking. If you're on a budget, get the breakfast in the morning, you can make yourself a sandwich to take with you for lunch! The hostel environment is very fun, quit easy to meet people, but it's got a lot of common rooms if you are looking to just hang out solo. Very reasonably priced too. read more

This is the best organized hostel I have ever been to. Staff is super friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and everything simply works. There is a chill-out area with hammocks and couches and a bar to hang out. Free WiFi. We had twin rooms and it looked that most of the rooms of that kind have a balcony like ours had. Surely this is not of the cheapest ones, but on the other hand you get what you pay for and here you get a lot. read more

This is the way hostels should be run. Clean, secure and with a helpful staff that is available 24/7. It can be a little noisy and you are at the mercy of whatever weird roommates you get, but it is a hostel so you get what you pay for. Another good feature are all the guided tours and activities that run out of it. If you find yourself in Germany go forth to Wombats without fear. read more

This hostel is a backpacker's wet dream. Many travelers arrive by train, and the train station is located just across the street from Wombats MUNICH, which is a very clean hostel with a friendly atmosphere. The rooms are cleaned daily, and each room has a private bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. There are also lockers in the rooms for personal belongings. Wombats guests can also leave their backpacks and luggage in the locked luggage room, which is in the receptionist's eye line. Workers will also watch valuables by placing them behind the desk, if you ask. Hostel staff is very friendly, helpful and full of ideas of fun places to go around the city. The womBAR has a pool table, offers a happy hour and other specials and priceworthy food and drinks. It's also a great place to mingle with other travelers. Free walking tours of the city leave from the hostel lobby each morning, and pub crawls leave from the area around the hostel too. Many sights, shopping, restaurants and bier gartens are within walking distance, but the hostel is also located close to the U-Bahn as well. The hostel also has internet and washers/dryers, which make backpacking more convenient. 24 hour reception is very helpful, and many workers speak multiple languages. There's no lock-out or curfew, so hostel guests can enjoy nearby bars without worry of getting home by midnight. The breakfast offers both traditional German breakfast foods like chocolate/hazelnut spread for Broetchen and International breakfast foods enjoyed by a variety of hostel guests. read more

Hostel is just prefect, clean, 2 min walk from train station highly recommended if visiting Müchen

The hostel itself is a wonderful place and all you could ask for. Friendly staff, cheap drinks, clean rooms, etc.. the location on the other hand is a different story. Wombat's is conveniently a few steps away from the main train station in Munich but is in such a sketchy area that you definitely want to have a friend (or two) walking with you during the evening or night. read more

Really enjoyed this hostel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They provided us with maps and many suggestions of what to do upon arrival. They allowed us to store our luggage here for free prior to check in. They also have daily tours available to popular Munich sites. It is in a great location, close to the train station and the city historical center. They also have a relaxing bar with happy hour specials. They serve a breakfast buffet here as well for a very reasonable price. read more

Great place to stay in Munich! Good staff, bedding provided and breakfast for 4 euro. Nice and fun. 4 minute walk to munich HBF. Definitely recommend it. read more

We loved this place! It was clean, spacious, and really nicely staffed. You get a free drink ticket upon arrival and the bar is hopping at nights. One euro beers from 6-8 is a steal! read more

Price was right, staff was very friendly and helpful, clean and well run. Usual amount of late-comers into group rooms, but not excessive. Liked bar, free drink per stay, good 4 euro breakfast including espresso, no curfew, pleasant common areas. Great location near train station, subway, ethnic restaurants. Only one subway stop to main tourist area! read more

Great hostel and bar, HOWEVER the reason it's getting a low rating is because of one of the men that works at the front desk that hangs around the bar at night. I never got his name but he was so rude and wouldn't stop talking to everyone in the bar about "how much he hates me" for no reason. He was creepy toward my friends and was so rude I wanted to leave. read more

Bed was infested with bed bugs or flees.. I woke up with so many bites and couldn't sleep because of it. Front desk staff lacks enthusiasm and come off as lazy. It's a good place if you don't care about hygiene and cleanliness but otherwise, stay away. It has a nice lounge area and all but it really sucks to be sleeping in a bed with bugs. Washers and dryers barely function and even though we were reimbursed, we ended up wasting so much time. read more

Stayed here when I was backpacking and enjoyed it. Very close to the rail station so it was easy to find. It was a safe hostel that was clean and had a friendly staff. Met lots of people and the staff's suggestions of places to go for a drink are great. I would definitely stay here again when I come back to Munchen read more

Decided to go alone to Munich and stayed here for four days. Staff was always very professional and friendly, rooms are VERY clean and include a private bathroom and shower in every room, an amenity that is often not provided elsewhere. The bar is an excellent mingling ground to meet other travelers and has a happy hour every day along with special events at least once a week. Even locals show up here to meet people and after about 11, really party. Can't give it a more positive review, I'll definitely be going back! read more

Spent four days in this hostel and, while the atmosphere was pretty nice, our beds were infested with bed bugs big enough to see clearly. We were in a 6 bed all female room and I got bit all over my body, then when we switched rooms it was a downgrade to an 8 bed co-ed room which we weren't aware of until we entered. Like said in a previous review, the bed bugs weren't taken seriously and ended up following us to Berlin. It kind of put a damper on our overall trip to Germany. read more

Just need to agree with all the positive comments. Excellent Hostel with a great location in a fantastic city. Had everything a Backpacker needs. read more

Absolutely love this hostel. Cheap and awesome! Met so many people from all over the world. They have a great lounging area. They also have a great bar area. The environment overall is great. Everyone at the front desk was extremely chill and friendly. They answered all my questions and helped me out with my valuables. (You can leave them in a locker before you check in) I stayed here for two days and it was great. The first night I stayed in a 6 bed room and the second night I stayed in a 10 bed room. I highly recommend the 6 because there is only one bathroom! It sucks when people are showering or using the restroom because you have to wait. I had to unfortunately wait for 30 minutes for a roommate that was taking a dump. 30 minutes? Damn. With the 10 people, there were always lines for the restroom. The 4th floor didn't have a communal restroom. We had to go all the way to the ground floor in order to use it. Anyway, I love wombats. It would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the 1 bathroom for 10 people situation. The hostel is in a great location. I walked to all of the places that I wanted to visit! read more
