Description: Wombats Munich is one of the cleanest hostels I have found.
Pros: The rooms and bathrooms are immaculate, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The beds are quite comfortable. It is located within a block of the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) so coming and going is very convenient. All transportation is close by. Our two-person room was €70.00 per night, although some of the dorms are about €15.00 per night. There is a free walking tour of the city which leaves the hostel at 10:30 AM. It is quite a good tour.
Cons: It is in a kind of seedy neighborhood. While it is not unsafe, some women have felt uncomfortable. My girlfriend said she would not stay there if she was alone. I repeat, however, the neighborhood is NOT unsafe and I would happily stay there again.
Note: When we were there, our double room was TINY! It had a balcony with furniture, and both the room and bathroom were spotless, but the overall room was too small (and we are not large people). We could not comfortably pass each other in the room. It would have been better with a double bunk bed (one bed on top of the other).
Note: I accidentally deleted the photos that I took here. The photos on their website are accurate depictions of the hostel.
I have heard that the dorms are great and I highly recommend this hostel for everyone regardless of the "cons" that I have noted.
Octoberfest: Wonmat's is one of the most popular hostels in Munich and fills up early, so book early! Making reservations one year in advance is not a bad idea.
