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

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!
