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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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

Very clean room and bathroom, comfy bed. Excellent location, close to subways and bus to airport. Really large common area downstairs to hang out in. Only complaint was my bed was the noisiest bed on the planet. It creaked and crackled every little movement I made, the other beds in the room didn’t seem to make that much noise

Great location, comfortable rooms!

Amazing location, comfortable rooms, good vibes. However, I know that the cleaning staff skipped cleaning the rooms on a couple of days so that was a bit hit or miss. However, overall great stay!
