Wombat's City Hostel Munich Hauptbahnhof

Where it is

On Senefelderstraße, right next to Munich's main station, the Hauptbahnhof. It is the best location if you arrive on the airport S-Bahn or by train and want to drop your rucksack without going round in circles. Karlsplatz (Stachus), where the pedestrian zone leading to Marienplatz begins, is round the corner, and the Theresienwiese of the Oktoberfest is about ten minutes' walk away. From the station leave the U-Bahn, S-Bahn and trams to everywhere, including the 17 towards Nymphenburg.

The rooms

Wombat's is a small chain of hostels that started in Vienna. Here it has shared dorms of several types (the classic ones, the "social" ones for meeting people, the "quiet" ones with earplugs for sleeping and the women-only ones) and private double rooms, some with a terrace. All rooms have their own shower and toilet, which is unusual in a hostel. The bunks are 90 x 200 cm, each bed has a socket and a phone holder and each guest has a locker with a socket. Sheets are included and sleeping bags are not allowed; towels are booked separately, except in the doubles, where they come provided.

The minimum age is 18: minors can only stay with their guardian and in a private room. You can stay at most ten nights in a thirty-day period.

Breakfast, bar and common areas

Breakfast is a buffet from 7:00 to 10:30 for €9.50, with ham and cheese sliced to order, hummus, porridge, granola with yoghurt, fruit and bread, and unlimited coffee and tea; under-6s do not pay. In the building there is an inner courtyard with a glass roof and trees, the WomBAR, where almost every night something is on (concerts, parties, yoga in the morning), and the WomCAFÉ. There is a guest kitchen, a laundry, luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, and hire of hairdryers, adapters or irons at reception, which is open 24 hours.
