Maybe it was just me but the staff acted like I was bothering them every time I went up to check-in and check-out. Perhaps I’m reading too much into it but they seemed to have a lot of attitude and felt quite bothered every time. This does not include the cleaners and maintainers who were always so kind and sweet. Aircon was somewhat working in my room - didn’t feel cool or hot. Luckily they have fans to use which help a lot. Overall, really great location and worth staying in the area

Great for the Grand Prix

Wombat's is about as good as a hostel can get. I met some great people that i went to the grand prix with in my room. Fairly clean and our room had its own bathroom. The only negative was that the room was pretty hot at night but what can you expect when it's 95 degrees F every day. Overall it was a great experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The hostel was in a great location close lots of bars, restaurants and close to a major transit hub in Budapest. It was also really convenient to the 100E bus which is what you will take to get to and from the airport. The hostel didn't have any guest activities and the entry felt more like a cheap hotel entry. The kitchen stank really badly and there weren't any utensils or dishes or even pots/pans which basically made the kitchen useless. I had a hard time even getting a bowl and a spoon for my breakfast. The rooms were decent. I was in an 8 bed mixed dorm. The beds had curtains and the room was divided in two meaning there were two bunks on one side and two on the other. This made it feel like a 4 bed dorm rather than an 8 bed dorm which was nice for a bit of privacy. The room had an ensuite bathroom. Typically this isn't my favorite thing for a hostel room but it usually doesn't bug me too much. Typically there are back up bathrooms and showers incase people need to use them while someone is in the bathroom, however I looked all over our floor and didn't see any therefore it was quite annoying to not be able to use the bathroom when someone else was in there. This place I would say was average (not bad but not great). If you are relying on a kitchen, I would avoid this place. This hostel is a good option if you were looking to get to the airport or if location/transit access are more a priority for you than social/atmosphere.

Location, cleanliness everything was good. But at night there was such a loud noise that people screamed in the corridor and no one warned them. I think it's related to the fact that it is preferred by young people, but the hotel management should do something about it. In short, if you want to sleep, don't stay there.

Great location, typical big city hostel amenities, but the mattress was wafer thin and the air conditioning didn’t work (mid-May). No ceiling fans either. If you open the windows you get city pollution and bugs (AND lots of street noise), and little relief from the stuffy room. I was in a 4-female room, plenty spacious— but I didn’t get a good night’s sleep. At all

６人のミックスドミトリーに泊まりました。 各部屋に専用のシャワーが付いているのは便利なようですが、トイレと一緒のため誰かがシャワーを浴びているとトイレも使えないので、良し悪しだと思いました。他の部屋は見ていないのでわかりません。 スタッフの対応は親切でした。
