Our two founders’ personal story is ingrained in our hostel chain’s DNA. Marcus and Sascha founded our company in the year 1999. Both passionate backpackers in the 80s, they know better than anyone what travelers are longing for, what ensures magical moments far away from home and how to create spaces for encounters that shape you for a lifetime. Currently, we operate five houses: Vienna, Munich (x2), London and Budapest and are about to grow! All our hostels come equipped with the Wombat’s Basics our customers have come to love: Ensuite bathrooms, our legendary womBARs, freely accessible guest kitchens, 24/7 reception, safe luggage storage, laundry rooms as well as tons of rentables and anything else an avid traveller could possibly need. “We create inspiring spaces where people can meet and interact in a warm and safe atmosphere. The world needs places and companies where people can live and work, share their passion, creativity and responsibility.” Our hostel locations are carefully chosen with the perspective and knowledge of a traveller. With detailed insight of the local area, we set up in interesting, central locations which are always easily accessible with public transport. See above – former backpackers know best what matters most when choosing a place to sleep during your travels. Location is key! Another big priority for Wombat’s is ensuring that all we offer has the highest possible quality while remaining reasonably priced. We work with local partners and producers where possible and adhere to strict fair-trade and sustainability criteria. Our own Wombat’s Coffee Roast, cooperations with award-winning organic farmers and innovative concepts such as our new, multi-functional bunk beds continue to set new standards in the business. Wombat’s City Hostels have won more than 50 international awards over the years, including “Cleanest Hostel Worldwide”. Fancy a visit? Then welcome – we are bringing people together since 1999.
