Wombat's City Hostel London is a large hostel built around dorm beds, with private rooms for guests who want a door of their own. Every room is en-suite and comes with lockers, which sets it apart from many budget hotels in the city where bathrooms are shared. Breakfast is included in the rate, and there is a guest kitchen for self-catering, plus coin laundry (see Guest Houses And B&Bs). Reception never closes, so late arrivals are not a problem. The listing also mentions free events, free city maps, bicycle parking, adaptors and a fax service, and taxes are included in the price shown. Beds here are for travellers aged 18 or over.
Three room types are listed. Standard dorms sell individual beds in a shared room, and female-only dorms give women and girls a single-sex option. Private rooms hold their own bathrooms, so a couple or pair of friends can skip dorm life entirely while keeping hostel prices. Every room, dorm or private, is en-suite and fitted with lockers. Free security lockers are named on the listing alongside the room facilities, which matters if you are carrying a laptop or documents. Beds are priced per bed per night, so a group can book into the same dorm one bed at a time.
The address is 7 Dock St, London E1 8LL, in the Shoreditch & East London area of Tower Hamlets. The nearest station is Tower Gateway DLR Station, an 11 minute walk away, and the stay sits in zone 1. That is the one distance figure given here, and it is the number to plan around when you are working out arrival on a DLR service. If you want to compare, other hostels in this catalogue sit as far out as zone 3, so a zone 1 base with a dorm bed price is uncommon.
