Wombat’s Hostel, Munich, Germany

As far as hostels go, Wombat’s is the easiest to find from the Munich Central station (main station) - it’s about a ten-minute walk from exiting your train. More specifically - and I’m taking directions off their website - you exit the station towards Bayerstraße, cross the road and go left, then turn on the first street on the right. Wombat’s is the second house on the left. Easy peas. Voted as the ‘Cleanest Hostel Worldwide’ in 2004, the ‘Best Hostel Chain Worldwide’ in 2006 and 2007 (reviewed by those who booked through Hostelworld.com) and the number six hostel Worldwide in 2005 should be enough to convince one it’s a great place to stay. But just in case it you want more . . .

Wombat’s is a perfect hostel to stay in. It’s ideal location and friendly staff made it hard to leave, although it could have been the awesomeness of the city it’s located in. For whatever reason, Wombat’s is a perfect example of what I’m going to term as a true “backpacker’s hostel.” The inexpensive rooms, provided security lockers, WiFi in the lobby, 24-hour reception, a fun bar (womBar) with happy hour specials and a complimentary welcome drink, and the always sought after washer and dryers. Okay, it doesn’t include breakfast, but at an average of 22 euros a night, I thought it okay to spend a couple extra euros eating a strudel at a nearby bakery or a cheap bratwurst at one of the thousands of bratwurst-selling kiosks.

Another great thing? The walking tour starts every morning at Wombat’s hostel. You simply show up in the lobby by the couch at 10:15am and you’re set to go learn about the history of Munich, eat some good food, and walk by dozens of important Munich sites essential to any great tour!
