About Wombat's City Hostel München
After staying here myself during my first Oktoberfest years ago, I can confidently say Wombat's sets the gold standard for Munich hostels. What makes it special isn't just the spotless modern facilities or prime location steps from Hauptbahnhof - it's that rooftop bar where I've watched countless sunset celebrations spill over from the festival grounds. My tip: book their private rooms well in advance; they're honestly better than many budget hotels at twice the price.
