Very Good

One of the best bed set ups I've ever had in a dorm - there's a light, shelf and power socket by the head then a personal safe and fan at the end of the bed and the curtains block out the light well. The bed was very comfy and there was a good amount of space in the room. The reception staff were so lovely and friendly. I didn't have the breakfast but it looked to be a good variety. The WiFi is fast but I was in room 330 and the WiFi didn't reach the room so you had to go out into the corridor to use it which was annoying. Otherwise a perfect stay!

Disliked: Staff & service
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
Had an amazing stay with a 4th floor room with skylight. Staff was super accommodating, area central with easy access to transport, lots of dining and activities. Download sleep app if you are a particularly light sleeper.
El hostel es grande y comodo. Tiene areas de descanso y bar. Esta bien ubicado . Cerca de las atracciones turisticas y de los medios de transporte. El personal es muy amable. No tiene cocina. Pero si servicio de desayuno y un bar miy lindo con buenos precios.
Social area was really nice, difference areas for relaxation of socialising.
Great location, close to centre of town, close to restaurants, shopping, bars.
Busy street but quiet in the rooms.
Rooms could be a little cleaner.

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.
Amazing location. Basic but has everything you need good size room with all the essentials. Very loud in early morning tho and had some people enter our room a couple of times which was concerning.
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
